Duxbury House | Antique In Historic Shipbuilder District, 1 Acre, Gardens, Just Steps From Bay

4 Bedroom House in Duxbury

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.
Access to the bay is a small landing that's directly across the street, and shopping/restaurants, including a supermarket, is just a 5-minute walk.
Snug Harbor, Duxbury’s boating center, is a 24 min walk/5min drive down Washington St and is home to Duxbury Yacht Club, Duxbury Maritime Sailing School, Duxbury Oyster farms, charter fishing, and perhaps the finest french-bakery this side of the Seine River.
This is a bike-friendly location with easy flat riding among historic homes on a tree lined drive following the waterfront.
Shipyard beach is a 10 minute walk and Duxbury Beach is a 20 minute drive offering sand, dunes, marine-life and great fishing.

Summary: We used this incredibly beautiful home as the "base" for our son's wedding. The wedding was small (12 total) and we were able to all gather in a relaxed and comfortable setting before and after the ceremony. The reception was held in their gorgeous back yard which in addition to providing a beautiful setting for those attending worked well for the caterers. We also enjoyed the screened in porch where our immediate family gathered the night before the wedding and the morning after the wedding. The house was impeccably clean and John and Connie were gracious hosts, we felt very much "at home".

Summary: I am from the area and wanted a home near family for a long weekend. The South Duxbury house was perfect, the history of the home is evident in the warm rooms full of hard wood and old world details. At the same time the home add updates for todays life and was close to everything we could want with the plus of the "Powder Point Bridge" oldest wood bridge in the US. we used the bridge every day between Marshfield and Duxbury when visiting family.
