Listing broker remarks

This Norwell beauty has all the smart improvements: roof, HVAC, electrical and plumbing. Walk to Norwell Center or the North River from this turn-key property! The newly updated kitchen is sleek and efficient with dual appliances & so much storage. New bathrooms feature high-end finishes of marble, glass & tile. Large, beautifully proportioned spaces on the main level include a 36ft long Media Room in converted barn with wet bar, a dining room ringed by windows overlooking the rear yard, and an elegant fireplaced living room. Four sunny bedrooms (including a primary) and two full bathrooms make up the second floor reached by front or rear staircases. Who needs an in-law or multi-gen option? The converted barn has a kitchen space, dedicated entrance, + bedroom, sitting room, full bath and walk-in closet upstairs. Character and efficiency have been preserved with careful restoration of windows, floors and woodwork details. Walk out basement and deck lead to gardens and privacy. Convenient commute to Boston only 26 miles north by car, train or boat. Be in before school starts!!— William Raveis R.E. & Home Services
