The Rufus Allen Pump House - What's Old is New. Built in 1774, one of the oldest homes in Fairhaven, the Rufus Allen Pump House has been completely renovated and updated. This ¾ federal style home has 3 bedrooms, one full-bath and two half-baths, 6 fireplaces, wide pine floors, and offers approximately 2300 square feet of living space. Every wire, pipe, window, door, fixture, and appliance is new. All insulation, electric, plumbing, heating, ductwork, exterior shingles, and roofing are also new. The present owner has added off-street parking; a spacious, first floor mahogany deck; a second floor balcony, and a third floor balcony offering expansive views of the harbor and its working waterfront. Climb the original granite steps and enter the front foyer to see original wide-pine flooring and a carved federal staircase. To the right is a fireplaced den/ study with closet. To the left is a fireplaced living room with original dentil molding. This room is open to a fireplaced, eat-in kitchen with granite counters, breakfast bar, new maple cabinets, new stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and French doors opening to a spacious mahogany deck, built for privacy, while allowing harbor views. Also off the kitchen is a back hallway with another door opening to the deck and a combination laundry room and half bath. On the second floor are two bedrooms, one of which is a large suite with a slider to a mahogany balcony. Both bedrooms have access to a full bath with whirlpool tub and stand alone shower. This bathroom has harbor views and is a lovely place to sit and soak at the end of the day. Finally, ascend to the third floor, which has the best views of all. It has a pocket balcony and a European-style half-bath. This room could be used as a bedroom, a sitting room, an office, or an artist studio.
