Listing broker remarks

A rare offering in Hanover’s highly sought-after Four Corners Historic District, this beautifully updated Greek Revival estate blends timeless architectural character with exceptional versatility. Offering more than 6,000 square feet of living space, deeded rights to the North River and over an acre of thoughtfully curated grounds, this is a property that must be experienced in person. Soaring ceilings, intricate millwork, hardwood floors and eight marble fireplaces reflect the home’s rich history, while beautifully updated spaces provide the comfort and functionality desired for modern living. A legal one-bedroom in-law apartment with a private entrance feels straight out of a Serena & Lily magazine and offers an ideal solution for multigenerational living, extended guests, an au pair or potential rental income. The impressive three-story barn provides even more possibilities for a studio, home office, gym, workshop or creative pursuits. Winding paths lead through established perennial, herb, rock and shade gardens, creating a private, estate-like setting just minutes from Route 53, local shops, cafés and convenient access to Hingham, Scituate, Boston and Cape Cod. Rich in history, thoughtfully updated and nearly impossible to replicate, 65 Washington Street is an extraordinary Hanover property offering space, flexibility and enduring beauty. Homes of this caliber rarely come to market— Compass
