A rare offering, this 1740 antique home sits on a former farm and lives like a private compound.

The two-bed, two-bath home retains historic charm with wide plank floors, exposed beams, gas fireplaces, and a remarkable hearth once serving as the original kitchen. Perfect for entertaining, it features a large living and dining room, an eat-in kitchen with pantry, and a bright bonus room that could convert into a first-floor primary suite. Privately set yet near Route 3 and Derby Plaza, this property blends history, character, and convenience—an exceptional value at this price point. First Open House Sunday, September 7th from 12-2pm.

    "I’ve lived here for nearly 14 years and it is a nice neighborhood. It’s quiet and a safe place to take walks or run. It’s centrally located to Boston and surrounding areas in addition to Plymouth which is a straight shot down route 3. Plenty of shops and grocery stores within a few miles but definitely easier to have a vehicle vs rely on public transportation. "
