Incredible opportunity to be in Scituate Center within minutes to the harbor, library, tennis/pickle ball courts, sport fields, and commuting! This charming hip roof offers incredible warmth, large spaces, and an amazing flat yard adjacent to a quiet neighborhood - great walkability! Curb appeal is only the beginning of the story here - enjoy the Lawson Tower bells as you rock on your new Ipe farmer's porch, or spread out for a whiffle ball game across the huge back yard (complete with 3 sheds and outdoor shower). Inside the ambiance will delight those who appreciate true craftsmanship. A wood burning fireplace with gorgeous mantle surround, a primary suite with lofted ship ceiling and Juliette balcony, a brand new sunroom overlooking the landscape, numerous built-in closets and cubbies throughout - the features go on and on! Lots of space for the entire clan inside and out, room to work from home, and a price point that wins $/sq.ft. category. A true home feeling in a central spot.

Located on a historic winding road within walking distance of Lawson Common and the Library. Sited on a nice corner lot in a desirable neighborhood near schools and Scituate Harbor for dining, shopping and boating. This home retains just enough of its antique feel while providing all the space and amenities that the modern family requires. There is a newer addition containing a master bedroom and bath which can be separated by a pocket door to provide a quiet retreat. The Juliet balcony off of the bedroom offers a nice spot to unwind after a busy day. A second floor laundry room is also a part of the addition. Three generous size bedrooms and two additional full baths complete the second floor. A bright sunroom is located off of the kitchen with an adjacent composite deck overlooking the inground lap pool and nicely landscaped private backyard. Windows and roof were replaced within the last 10 years. Add your own decorator touches and enjoy life in this comfortable home!
