Listing broker remarks

Welcome to Captain's Watch at 95 Grandview Avenue, nestled in Marshfield's coveted Little's Creek neighborhood. Set on an extraordinary waterfront parcel with panoramic marsh and river views, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most remarkable properties. The early 1900s home has been thoughtfully renovated using reclaimed beams and antique wood, preserving its timeless coastal charm while offering endless possibilities to renovate, expand, or build a spectacular custom waterfront home. A detached barn adds tremendous flexibility and offers exciting potential for a studio, workshop, or future accessory dwelling unit (ADU), subject to local approvals. Wake each morning to breathtaking sunrises and end your day with unforgettable sunsets over an ever-changing landscape of marshes, wildlife, and shorebirds. The captivating scenery inspired Michael Sleeper's celebrated photograph, August Afternoon. Whether you choose to restore the historic character of Captain's Watch or create a legacy waterfront estate with additional living space, this is a once in a generation opportunity in one of Marshfield's most sought after coastal neighborhoods.— Coldwell Banker Realty - Scituate
