Step back in time without sacrificing modern comfort in this refined, 19th century Colonial, beautifully situated on a lush 0.69-acre corner lot in one of Mattapoisett's most convenient locations. Surrounded by professionally landscaped grounds with irrigation, an oversized storage barn, and a whole-house Generac generator, this property offers a blend of historic character and practical amenities. Inside, wide pine floors flow throughout the 3-4 bedroom, 2-bath home, where period details have been carefully preserved. The updated kitchen features granite countertops and newer appliances, while multiple gathering spaces provide warmth and versatility. A gas fireplace insert serves as the focal point of the front living room, and exposed beams and a wood stove create a welcoming atmosphere in the rear family room. The formal dining room exudes classic New England character with beamed ceilings and a built-in corner hutch. Updated bathrooms retain their iconic clawfoot tubs, thoughtfully adapted with shower fixtures to complement today's lifestyle while honoring the home's heritage. Located ~ one mile from Mattapoisett Village, local beaches, the Mattapoisett River, Rail Trail, and highway access, this rare antique home offers a unique opportunity. Utilities are town water, town sewer, oil heat, and propane for fireplace insert & generator.
