Hidden behind privet hedges, a rare and extraordinary Norwell property is now available. This 2.55ac landmark estate features a pristine five-bedroom antique with attached carriage barn that has been carefully renovated and maintained while preserving its rich history and character. Featured in home tours and magazines for its simple yet elegant design: professional grade kitchen and baths complement the fine details of this early period home. Bring your horses home to a full equestrian setting. Or simply enjoy the privacy comprised of a rolling lawn, bluestone and granite pool plus adjoining terrace, fenced pastures, paddock, sports court, riding ring (also perfect for baseball!), outdoor shower and gardens all ringed by natural privacy screens. All systems have been upgraded and improved. Walk to the North River from this centrally located South Shore home.
