Listing broker remarks

Deeded North River access from this "just right" Norwell home just 26 miles south of Boston! Bring your boat to the DOCK for the exclusive use of this small cul de sac neighborhood off scenic River Street. This pristine colonial has 4 beds and 2 1/2 baths plus SO much more. The main living space has a soaring ceiling centered on a stone fireplace and flows easily between the kitchen and outdoors. A wide open kitchen with sunny dining area has a large pantry and plenty of cabinetry with views of the private backyard. The former living room is now the billiard room and the pretty dining room can host big holiday gatherings. Upstairs, you'll love the primary with walk-in closet and exceptional bath with stone shower plus a freestanding tub with a cozy fireplace feature. Don't miss the big wow factor in the lower level with dedicated gym, bar/game area and media room for movie nights. Added bonus: a huge home office or guest space accessed by its own staircase with side door entrance through the mudroom. Recent upgrades include new high efficiencey on-demand heating system. When you're not swimming in the river or catching stripers, enjoy the deck and firepit in your very private backyard.— William Raveis R.E. & Home Services
