Listing broker remarks

Step back in time without sacrificing modern comfort in this refined, circa 1795 Federal style Colonial, beautifully situated on a lush 0.69-acre corner lot in one of Mattapoisett's most convenient locations. Originally owned by Capt. Ebenezer Rogers, the home is surrounded by professionally landscaped grounds with irrigation, an oversized storage barn, and a whole-house Generac generator, this property offers a blend of historic character and practical amenities. Inside, wide pine floors flow throughout the 3-4 bedroom, 2-bath home, where period details have been carefully preserved. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops and newer appliances, while multiple gathering spaces provide warmth and versatility. A gas fireplace insert serves as the focal point of the front living room, and exposed beams and a wood stove create a welcoming atmosphere in the rear family room. The formal dining room exudes classic New England character with beamed ceilings and a built-in corner hutch. Updated bathrooms retain their iconic clawfoot tubs, thoughtfully adapted with shower fixtures to complement today's lifestyle while honoring the home's heritage. Located ~ one mile from Mattapoisett Village, local beaches, the Mattapoisett River, Rail Trail, and highway access, this rare antique home offers a unique opportunity. Utilities are town water, town sewer, oil heat, and propane for fireplace insert & generator.— Dawson Real Estate
