This elegant Colonial resides on one of the prettiest scenic roads in Marshfield and is sited on a picturesque 3.75 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds. Known as the Byrd-Lapham house built circa1653, several expansions to the home in the 1800s and early 1990s preserved the integrity of the original structure and characteristics of the historic details. Exceptionally well-maintained and exquisitely appointed with a tasteful, thoughtful blend of old-world style and modern touches, every room is unique and boasts fine details and finishes such as a massive center chimney with 6 fireplaces, wide pine floors, wainscotting, crown molding and built-in shelving and cabinetry. Traditional outbuildings including a barn, garage, shed, and studio are complemented by an inground gunite pool, and an expansive lawn adorned with well-established trees, a walled-in English garden, and several additional gardens with lovely mature plantings and shrubs that beautifully enhance this stunning estate.
