Listing broker remarks

Situated in the quaint village or Mattapoisett, here you'll enjoy easy access to restaurants, beaches, harbor, schools and the recently constructed bike path. This iconic shingle-style residence, rich in character, showcases a classic gambrel roof allowing for high ceilings and spacious second floor living areas, while an expansive covered front porch extends the home's architectural curb appeal. Enter to an open foyer accented with decorative stained-glass windows and a formal staircase. Enjoy spacious rooms adorned with hardwood floors and large original diamond-paned windows, that provide an abundance of natural light. Mature trees and established landscaping frame the property and enhance its village setting. Originally constructed as a single-family residence, the home currently includes a one-bedroom apartment on the second floor. The existing layout offers the opportunity to restore the property to a single-family configuration if desired. The detached garage offers the potential to house cars or use as a workshop. A rare opportunity to preserve a distinctive example of early residential architecture in a sought-after village setting.— Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties
