Sundays Open House Cancelled-Offer Accepted. Tucked away in a private setting, this beautifully converted barn blends character, design, and modern comfort just moments to the commuter train and Scituate Harbor. Thoughtfully designed with bedrooms across multiple levels, the layout offers flexibility and privacy. Light-filled living spaces are enhanced by vaulted ceilings. The renovated kitchen features an AGA induction range, double dishwashers, custom finishes, and herringbone brick flooring with radiant heat. A beautifully renovated first-floor bath also includes radiant heated flooring. A spacious attic with vaulted ceilings offers excellent potential for future expansion. A 4-bedroom septic system installed in 2020 supports expanded living potential, including ADU possibilities. A new roof adds peace of mind. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a new gunite saltwater pool, bluestone patio, Trex front deck, and mature landscaping with seasonal blooms.

Rare opportunity to own a piece of Scituate's Old oaken bucket history! Retreat 2 acre lot w/stunning French Country converted barn boasts so many unique features and upgrades. Originally converted to a summer home in the 1940's by a famous sculptress. The Retreat was purchased by the current owners in 1984, and since lovingly renovated and updated to preserve as much of the original ambiance as possible. The home inspires awe and exclamation as you enter the great room. You are greeted by French doors, stunning beams, balconies and wrap around walkways as you gaze up towards the second and third floors. Chef's kitchen with 2011 expansion to include breakfast nook, newer heat, new 4 bedroom septic system to be installed, "staycation" gunite pool, and a second large barn/shed with loads of possibilities. Two acres of land graced by stone walls, and woods, located close to Greenbush commuter train, town beaches, restaurants, stores and picturesque North River. Prepare to be amazed!
