Description

A mid-19th-century Greek Revival, believed to be the birthplace of Captain William Bradford Parker and later home to Samuel Hallett — both tied to Osterville's historic maritime corridor along Main Street. The property reflects the success of maritime captains - there's a reason Osterville was once described as "a place where retired sea captains can live like gentlemen." You feel that here. The primary bedroom has been expanded to include a quiet alcove with a gas stove, an easy place to settle in on cooler days. The yard comes alive in season with mature plantings and a sense that it's been thoughtfully cared for. And it has — by the same owners since 1989. A short walk to quaint Osterville village, and a short drive to Dowses Beach and Joshua Pond for summer fun. Newer windows, original wide pine floors, 2 gas fireplaces, updated electrical, and a new gas heating system are already in place.A history worth inheriting and the charm from a more gracious era. This one needs to be seen.

    "This area lacks decent public transportation. Having a car is extremely helpful. The is the bus system but it isn’t that reliable and it doesn’t have lots of stops and routes so one has to walk a distance to get to path of bus"
  • Trulia User
    "moderate traffic at regular business hours, otherwise VERY easy travel, and safe drivers on the road "
  • Purplevelvet917
    "The bus goes by only once an hour each way. A car is helpful. Summer traffic make the commute slow so allow for extra time."
  • Joshtweaver
    "Very friendly upscale area with beautiful scenery. Great for a summer vacation. Very peaceful. Can get quiet at times so if you’re looking for excitement you may want to look elsewhere. "
  • Joshtweaver
    "Great area for kids to grow up or spend the summers in. Very friendly community feel. Safe to walk around in. "
  • Ashleighmaeb
    "An hour and a half drive back to Boston if your lucky. You can fly which is way more convenient but driving is the cheapest. It’s our summer home so we don’t care that much since we’re down all summer."
  • Hudson
    "I’ve lived in this neighborhood for over 3 years and love it. The neighbors are nice and there are lots of kids and young families."
  • bagleyheath
    "Ostervile, lovely place apart from the people. Rude arrogant, dont you know who I am? types where the rules of civilty only apply to others. If you are in the top 1% or aspire to be you'll love it."
