About this home
With its beautiful curb appeal and one of Norwell's loveliest settings, 448 River Street has long been a home people admire as they pass by. Set behind stone walls on one of Norwell’s most beautiful roads, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath antique Cape sits on a large, level lot alongside a detached one-bedroom, one-bath apartment and truly majestic 2-story barn. Together, they offer room for guests, extended family, rental income, hobbies and whatever comes next. Inside the main home, rich wide-pine floors, beautiful built-ins and fireplaces create a warm sense of character. Gather around the impressive hearth fireplace in the spacious family room, host dinner in the formal dining room or relax in the inviting front sitting room. A charming butler’s pantry connects the dining room to the first-floor living spaces. The sunlit kitchen features an island and Marvin Integrity windows overlooking the grounds, while a large deck off the back of the house offers space to enjoy the outdoors. The first-floor primary suite looks out to the backyard and includes a sparkling, renovated full bath. Upstairs, two bedrooms, a full bath and laundry complete the main home. Bring your vision to the remaining spaces while preserving the details that make this home special. A whole-house generator offers peace of mind, and a new four-bedroom, Title 5-approved septic system will be installed. The detached 2-story apartment includes its own kitchen, full bath and laundry, with a history of rental use—ideal for guests, extended family or additional income. The majestic barn offers garage space, stalls and storage below, with second-floor potential for an office, studio or creative retreat. Enjoy a setting that feels worlds away, yet is close to Norwell’s top-rated schools, the North River, walking trails, routes into Boston and the coast. With its memorable setting, beautiful details and exceptional versatility, 448 River Street is ready for its next chapter. Showings begin Thursday at the Open House from 4:30 to 6:00.
