**Seller open to offering buyer incentives, including seller financing or closing credits. Pre-listing home inspection available for review—request a copy. A great opportunity with flexible terms for qualified buyers!** Welcome to the historic Browning Residence at 259 Green Hill Beach Road. Built in 1700, this unique home once served as the center of a 250-acre working ranch where the Browning family raised cattle and sheep into the 1940s. Original features remain, including wide plank flooring, multiple fireplaces, a dining room corner cupboard, and a walk-in closet that once served as a child’s bedroom with original dowels for hanging clothes. This home has been carefully preserved and thoughtfully updated. Recent upgrades include a brand-new 50-year roof, new gutters, and a 200-amp electrical panel. The renovated kitchen offers quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a clean coastal design. Four new energy-efficient mini-split systems provide year-round comfort, while a heated floor in the upstairs bath adds a luxurious touch. The home is supported by a six-bedroom septic system, offering flexibility and expansion potential. Located in the sought-after Green Hill Beach community, the property is just minutes from the shore and close to all South County amenities. Whether you’re seeking a year-round residence, summer getaway, or investment opportunity, this move-in ready home offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience.
