A historic treasure in Fall River has hit the market, featuring an intricate blend of architectural styles and modern comfort. Stephanie McFeeters of Boston.com reported that the property, located at 1353 Robeson St, is up for sale with a price tag of $750,000. Built in 1900, this unique Colonial home spans 3,116 square feet, houses five bedrooms, and provides two full and one half bathrooms.
Public sewer and water services are included for the residence, which saw property taxes set at $5,738 in 2025. With an exterior that showcases American Foursquare and Craftsman styles, the property balances historic charisma with functionality suited for contemporary living. As mentioned by Lamacchia Realty, the home's ornate craftsmanship is evident in every detail, including various stained glass paned doors and accented windows, modeled stairway, and sculptured posts.
The home's foyer sets a historical tone, complete with a coffered ceiling and a mirrored fireplace graced by a carved mantel. It leads to an 180-square-foot living room with oak flooring and a formal dining room boasting original built-in china cabinets with leaded glass doors. "This home has the epitome of a formal dining room," as Jimmy Cregg put it succinctly in the Boston.com article.
The kitchen, described by Lamacchia Realty as having a warm brightness to greet each morning, features yellow cabinets and ceiling beams contrasted with blue Corian countertops and stainless steel appliances. The property also includes a family room on the main floor, secondary bedrooms on the second floor, and a complete third-floor primary suite with an expansive bedroom, walk-in closet, and primary bath with white hexagonal ceramic tiles. Despite the house's height of tradition, the third floor presents a surprisingly designed guest suite with a bath adorned with amenities that offer many possibilities.
Complete with 200 amp electrical service and central air conditioning, the home offers practicality alongside its historical charm. Parking for eight vehicles and close proximity to the MBTA's Fall River/New Bedford commuter rail – recently inaugurated to connect Boston after a 65-year hiatus – add convenience to the appeal of this architectural gem. Donna Whritenour of Lamacchia Realty currently holds the listing.
