Property Description
Historically and architecturally significant antique Cape, the Asa Merritt House, circa 1819, is ready for you to make your own history. Renovated by renowned architect Royal Barry Wills, this piece of Scituate history was featured in his book Houses for Good Living. The now fully modernized home features 3 BEDROOMS/ 2 ½ BATHS, a center-island chef's kitchen (Wolf range, Sub-Zero fridge, Miele cappuccino maker, wood-fired pizza oven), wide-plank flooring, original mantle surrounds and a captain's staircase. The grounds boast an inground 20x40 foot swimming pool, gazebo, pool shed, stone walls, fruit trees and a vintage 19th century barn. This home is a rare combination of quintessential New England, historic importance and modern seaside living.
