Fascinating. What an apt word! What a city! What a house! Over the last 224 years, there have been been several additions to this unique Federal-period home which, historically, displays extensively remodeled interiors that retain only a few of this period's elements such as six-panel doors and two-part surrounds. The craftsmanship and details in this home are fascinating, from the various moldings, the wood flooring, the door hardware, the multiple fireplaces, and to the modern updates introduced through the years. Some surprising features of this late eighteenth/early nineteenth century home is that all four bedrooms are ensuite, every bedroom has a closet, there is a bedroom/bath on the 1st floor, a powder room for guests also on the 1st floor, the kitchen has a walk-in pantry, and there is parking off-street! The most recent and significant updates are as follows: new HVAC units (8/23); lower roof surfaces scraped and resealed (10/23); newly painted 3rd floor apartment interior (10/23); upstairs Master Bedroom zero entry tiled shower ('22); and new comfort height toilets throughout ('21). See the seller-provided list of ''Repairs and Improvements to 501 New St.'' for more information.

A nice bonus with this property entails a 3rd floor apartment complete with partial kitchen area, living room space, bathroom, and
