Twenty room 1890's Ocean Front Italian Villa. One of the finest coastal properties on Boston's North or South shore.
The house sits on a point of land at the mouth of Cohasset's "Little Harbor". The location is quiet and secluded and surrounded by the ocean on three sides. Two acres of landscaped lawns, flowering trees and shrubs, and a private beach great for swimming and boating activities right below the house. A row boat is included with the rental.
The Town of Cohasset was discovered by Captain John Smith in 1614. With a population of just over 7,000 today, the town has retained its charm as a New England seaside village with a quiet main street with many boutique shops and restaurants and an active harbor. The Commuter Rail station is five minutes away and provides easy access to Boston's South Station in 43 minutes.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1927
I've lived in the Boston area since 1975 and have worked in the software and technology industry as a CEO, co-founder, and sales executive since 1984. I am interested in and excited about marketing & sales, technology that improves the marketing and sales process, and helping develop and enrich the lives of the people I work with.
Why the Owner Chose Cohasset
The property was passed down from my grandfather. Having spent summers every year of my life in Cohasset and having so many great memories I've been lucky to be able to have my children enjoy Cohasset as well.
The Unique Benefits of this House
I love the quiet and seclusion and beauty of this location yet it's so close to Boston. The constant sounds of the ocean and seagulls is soothing. I find I just drive down the lane to the house and I take a big breath and just relax. The big house (as we call it) is grand and impressive and has amazing 270 degree views of water. I was married on the lawn here. Everyone seems to be in a good mood when they are here.
