Listing broker remarks

A rare opportunity to own one of Marion's most iconic antique homes. Ideally situated on one of the town's most coveted and desirable streets, this exceptional 1880 residence has been thoughtfully restored and meticulously updated, offering the perfect blend of timeless New England character and modern luxury. Set on a private, beautifully landscaped 0.82-acre lot just steps from the water, the 5,541-square-foot home features eight bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms, providing generous space for family and guests. Every inch of the home has been carefully improved since 2010, preserving the architectural integrity and craftsmanship of its era while seamlessly incorporating today's most desirable amenities. The outdoor setting is equally impressive, with mature gardens, a saline swimming pool, and a separate two-car garage. Deeded dock rights extend with the home providing access to Sippican Harbor, just steps away from the home.— Converse Company Real Estate
