Frustrated by the prices in Cohasset? This home sits on the border of Cohasset and Scituate, so offers the proximity to Cohasset town and harbor with all the great amenities of the town of Scituate. Pristine, sun filled 3000+SF colonial set behind stone walls amongst the beautiful estate properties of Border Street. High ceilings, hardwood floors and beautiful finish details throughout. The white kitchen w/large island, honed granite and stainless appliances is OPEN to the spacious family room w/fireplace. A lovely living room, formal dining room and office complete the first floor. There are 3 very spacious bedrooms on the second floor with a walk up unfinished attic with great expansion opportunity. The basement offers a bath, mudroom and playroom/exercise room. Fenced in level yard, with gated driveway and oversized deck and seasonal water views! Convenient COMMUTERS location...3 min. to North Scituate train, 5 min. to Cohasset train or a 15 minute drive to Hingham Commuter boat.
