Your own private retreat in Northwest Duxbury, a custom-built 4-bedroom Colonial on 5.37 acres next to conservation land, with an in-ground gunite pool, a stone outdoor fireplace, and exceptional spaces for gathering and entertaining. Turn down the long, tree-lined drive and the world falls away. Inside, it's grand from the first moment you enter, with a 35 ft entry foyer opening to a 25 ft great room and family room, where a two-sided stone fireplace warms both the living and dining spaces. Holidays and game nights center on the kitchen, with a long island, GE Monogram appliances including a 6-burner range with a griddle, glass-front cabinets, and a pantry. Solid Brazilian cherry floors, a home office/living room with tall arched windows, and three half baths complete the first floor. At the end of the day, the primary suite offers a private retreat, with a vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, walk-in closet, and spa-style bath with a whirlpool tub and glass shower. Upstairs, you'll also find three more bedrooms, a shared hall bath, and a newly renovated second-floor laundry room. Summer evenings move outside to the fenced-in in-ground gunite pool, the patio with its stone fireplace, and covered porches, all with a private, wooded backdrop. Peace of mind is built in: owned 23 kW solar array, a whole-house generator, 400-amp service, oil heat, central air, a private well with whole-house filtration, and a passing Title 5 septic for a 5-bedroom system. An oversized 3-car garage and a 1,914 sq ft basement roughed in for a future bath and kitchen add room to grow. A walk-up attic is also plumbed for another bath and currently provides storage space galore! Close to Route 3, surrounded by walking trails and conservation land, and near shopping and Duxbury Beach.
