About this home
Welcome to The Whalehouse, an exquisite grand Victorian built in 1855 by Henry Taber as a wedding gift for his daughter Abby Taber Hunt. It later became the home of Herman Melville's sister, Catherine Melville Hoadley. The present owner has lovingly restored the home to its former beauty. Enter the gracious entrance hall flanked by a bright and welcoming solarium, a sitting room with window seat and a sprawling Livingroom with marble fireplace. Continue down the hall to a huge dining room which opens to a cozy kitchen w/statuario marble countertops, Bertazzoni range, & Newport brass sink. The second level offers 3 large sleeping rooms with en suite bathrooms. A charming private suite is perfect for guests or extended family. It is ideally located in a charming neighborhood walking distance to downtown New Bedford .
