About this home

Rich in history and beautifully maintained, this distinctive antique Colonial blends timeless charm with modern comfort in an exceptionally convenient Norwell location. Originally built in 1890, the home offers approximately 4,342 square feet, five bedrooms, three full baths, and two half baths on 1.33 acres. A triple arched porch creates a memorable welcome to inviting interiors filled with stunning woodwork and custom built ins. The beautifully renovated kitchen features cherry cabinetry, marble and soapstone countertops, Bosch and Thermador appliances, and a casual dining area overlooking the meticulously maintained grounds. An elegant dining room with a fireplace and a spacious double sided formal living room with fireplaces provide gracious settings for entertaining. A four season sunroom flows seamlessly into the family room with cathedral ceilings, while a cozy sitting room with a fireplace and built in writing desk offers a quiet retreat. Upstairs, five bedrooms and three full baths include a luxurious primary suite with custom built ins, a huge dressing room with an island and banquettes, and a LUXE renovate bath with soaking tub and oversized shower. Relocated from its original setting, the home benefits from a full poured concrete foundation, a rare feature for an antique of this era. Thoughtful improvements include a new oil heating system, whole house water purification system and fully owned NEW Enphase solar panels, discreetly positioned on the rear roof, that minimize energy costs and also provide backup power during outages. Walkable to the YMCA and Hanover Crossing’s shops, restaurants, and movie theater, and just a minute to Norwell High School, route 3 access and scenic walking trails. You'll LOVE this truly special home offering enduring character, generous living spaces, and an A+ location close to EVERYTHING! Showings begin at OH FRI 11:30-1. Also OH SAT 12-2.
