Beautifully situated overlooking the marshes and Musquashcut Brook in Scituate, this captivating property enjoys a sense of peace and tranquility that is evident from the moment one turns off Gannett Road onto the long paved driveway that winds back to the home. Musquashcut Brook is a meandering waterway that joins with Bound Brook in North Scituate before flowing into the Gulf River, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Cohasset Harbor. The marshland that surrounds the brook is home to a variety of birds and wildlife that roam the serene environs and provide endless enjoyment for those fortunate to live on the edge of the marshes.
Standing majestically at the end of the driveway, the three-story home is perfectly sited to enjoy the ever-changing vistas that unfold across the marshland at the rear of the home, where a spacious deck provides an ideal location to drink in the views. Walls of windows bring the outdoors inside and form an enchanting backdrop to interior spaces that are finished in a complementary manner with neutral, buff-tinted walls; soft-white trim; and golden oak hardwood flooring throughout.
