About this home

* * Seller open to offering buyer incentives, including seller financing or closing credits. Pre-listing home inspection available for review request a copy. A great opportunity with flexible terms for qualified buyers! * * Welcome to the historic Browning Residence at 259 Green Hill Beach Road. Built in 1700, this unique home once served as the center of a 250-acre working ranch where the Browning family raised cattle and sheep into the 1940s. Original features remain, including wide plank flooring, multiple fireplaces, a dining room corner cupboard, and a walk-in closet that once served as a child's bedroom with original dowels for hanging clothes. This home has been carefully preserved and thoughtfully updated. Recent upgrades include a brand-new 50-year roof, new gutters, and a 200-amp electrical panel. The renovated kitchen offers quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a clean coastal design. Four new energy-efficient mini-split systems provide year-round comfort, while a heated floor in the upstairs bath adds a luxurious touch. The home is supported by a six-bedroom septic system, offering flexibility and expansion potential. Located in the sought-after Green Hill Beach community, the property is just minutes from the shore and close to all South County amenities. Whether you're seeking a year-round residence, summer getaway, or investment opportunity, this move-in ready home offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience.

A newly created 30,068 square foot lot that was broken off the neighboring lot at 259 Green Hill Beach Road and has preliminary approval from the town. A few final details are being addressed to secure final approval of the subdivision. There is an existing structure on the lot that could possibly be the base for your new home, OR, used as an accessory apartment to your newly built dream home. Any building/rebuilding has to be undertaken within a 2 year period. There is an approved 6 bedroom septic design that is good until Spring 2029. Currently there is no electric or water service to the house, although it is available. There will be an easement from the neighbor allowing you to use their driveway to access this property (safety issue as lot is on a curve in the road). A beautiful flat lot with stone walls, granite pillars and an antique farmhouse next door. Assessment, taxes and dimensions of lot are forthcoming.
