Fairhaven living, with room to spread out and space to exhale. Head upstairs to an airy, open living space where updated flooring, solid stone countertops, newer appliances, and a gas fireplace create a comfortable backdrop for everyday life and easy entertaining. The kitchen has room to cook, gather, and linger, while brick veneer and custom shutters add character. With 1,720 square feet, three bedrooms, and 1.75 baths, this condo offers the space and feel of a house without the same maintenance demands. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and access to an oversized private balcony, large enough for a full sectional and then some. Two additional balconies, each with its own orientation, give you options for morning coffee, container gardening, or catching the evening air. The practical details are just as good: an attached garage, an additional parking space, a generous laundry room, and plenty of storage. Set within a smaller six-unit building in a 28-unit community, the layout feels more like a single family home than a traditional condo, with a little separation from the larger complex. Downtown Fairhaven, nearby trails, and Fairhaven Middle School are just down the street, with quick highway access when the day takes you farther afield. A community EV charger adds another thoughtful convenience. For those ready to stop compromising on space and comfort, this is Fairhaven living with room to settle in and make it your own.
