    A Timeless Estate in Historic Four Corners steeped in history and rich with architectural significance, The E.Q. Sylvester House, circa 1850, is one of Hanover’s most distinguished Greek Revival estates. Set behind classic stone walls on over an acre of beautifully curated grounds, this remarkable residence offers more than 6,000 square feet of refined living where period craftsmanship and modern comfort exist in perfect harmony. Grand proportions, soaring ceilings, intricate millwork, hardwood floors, and eight marble fireplaces showcase the elegance of a bygone era, while thoughtfully updated spaces create an effortless home for today’s lifestyle. A legal apartment and impressive three-story barn provide exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, creative pursuits, or income potential.

Located in Hanover’s treasured Four Corners Historic District, this home is surrounded by one of the South Shore’s most picturesque and historically significant villages. Antique homes, Colonial architecture, and tree-lined streets reflect nearly three centuries of New England heritage, while local boutiques, cafés, and community gathering places create an inviting small-town atmosphere. Just moments away, Sylvester Field Conservation Area offers scenic walking trails, open meadows, and boardwalks along Third Herring Brook. The nearby North River, once central to the region’s renowned shipbuilding industry, remains one of the South Shore’s most treasured natural landmarks. Despite its historic charm, Four Corners offers exceptional convenience. Route 53 is minutes away, providing easy access to Hingham, Scituate, Boston, and Cape Cod. Properties of this caliber are seldom available. Rich in history, beautifully preserved, and thoughtfully updated, 65 Washington Street represents a rare opportunity to own one of Hanover’s iconic historic estates,a home where timeless architecture, extraordinary craftsmanship, and an unparalleled setting come together to create a legacy property for generations to come.
