Restored and updated 220-year-old antique located in the heart of the seaside community of Duxbury, MA., just 15 minutes away from Plymouth. Imagine following the steps of ship captains and their families who have had the privilege to call this home. An original post and beam construction built when George Washington was president, this home features 4 fireplaces, 3 wood stoves, wide pine plank floors, original plaster walls, ceilings, moldings, and two staircases. The living room has a working fireplace, unique plaster crown molding, and full entertainment center complete with surround-sound. The .92 acre property has mature plantings, a 100' x 60' private, level side yard that's perfect for all kinds of gameplay, and is bordered by a spectacular perennial garden. The Play Room, a semi-attached 15’ X 32’ newer cathedral ceiling structure, is complete with 8’ Olhausen pool table, home theater center with 65” Samsung 4K curved widescreen, 5:1 surround sound, and oversized leather furniture. The 16’ X 34’ kitchen is brand new, has a wood stove, seating area, gas stove, electric convection oven, microwave, sink disposal, stainless fridge, dishwasher, white cabinets with granite tops resting on a rich, redwood floor. The 40’ X 16’ raised slate patio is private, gets full time sun and is the location of the Weber Genesis gas grill. When it gets too hot move to the 16’ x 16’ screened porch, secluded by plantings, which is cooled by shade and ceiling fan, and is a favorite place for al-fresco dining. The second story master bath and the full hall-bath feature heated tile floors for barefoot comfort and updated fixtures. The home is warmed with forced hot air and cooled by your choice of central air or whole house fan.
