The Delano Homestead was in FDR's family for nearly 120 years. It was built by his great-grandfather, owned by his grandfather, his mother was born here and lived here for a time as an adult. Franklin spent hundreds of days here as a child, young man and visited as president. The house is an example of transitional Federal to Greek Revival Architecture. It has a spacious yards, a green house, and is surrounded by a granite stone wall. It is within a block of the town hall, town library, Unitarian and Methodist Churches. We are within a few blocks of the harbor, shopping, restaurants, park, tennis courts, bike path and more. We are within a few miles of the beach, zoo, whaling museum, marinas, charter boats, town landing, ferries to the islands and more restaurants. We are within a half-hour of Cape Cod, Newport, Providence, Horseneck Beach State Park. We are an hour from Boston (without traffic).
Paul was educated at Wesleyan University and the University of Pennsylvania. He is a knowledgeable local real estate agent and his passion is travel. He has visited 40 countries to date. He can help you with insights to local and regional activities and sights.
Fairhaven is a small, safe, historic town that is across the harbor from New Bedford. It has a charming, harborside village with a working, commercial waterfront. The Fairhaven / New Bedford harbor is the biggest income producing fishing harbor in the US. Attractions in Fairhaven/ New Bedford include: the mile-long town beach on West Island, Fort Phoenix State Park and Beach, the Romanesque buildings in the town center that were commissioned by Henry Rogers, the Whaling Museum, Antique Coops, The Buttonwood Park Zoo, the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, historic walking tours, Horseneck Beach (5 miles long). A diverse collection of area restaurants (Thai, Indian, Lebanese, Portuguese, Mexican, Italian, Caribbean, and local caught seafood). We are also 30 minutes to Cape Cod and Providence RI, 45 minutes to Newport RI, And an hour from Boston. A Ferry runs from here to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.
