About this home
Welcome to The Norwell House, a gracious and distinctive New England estate set on 2.5 lush acres in the heart of Norwell. Rich in character, architectural detail and history, this is the kind of property that is increasingly difficult to come by, a home with a sense of permanence, built for generations and ready for its next chapter.From the moment you enter the grand foyer, the house makes an impression. A dramatic three-story staircase, floor-to-ceiling windows, beautiful period details and a sweeping veranda recall the elegance of an earlier era, while generous rooms and flexible living spaces make the home wonderfully suited to modern family life. At the heart of the house is a newly expanded kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining, complemented by a secondary prep kitchen. The spaces flow naturally to gracious interior rooms and outdoor gathering areas, creating a home equally comfortable hosting holidays and celebrations or simply bringing family and friends together.With seven bedrooms and eighteen rooms in total, this home offers remarkable flexibility. A five-room suite with its own entrance occupied the rear wing and can easily be recreated, providing possibilities for extended family (generational living), guests, an au pair, home offices or a potential ADU. The barn, at approximately 6,500 square feet is an extraordinary structure in its own right. It offers exceptional possibilities for the backyard gardener, an automobile collector, or for someone who needs a workshop/studio space. The expansive second floor provides an additional recreational and gathering space. Together with the surrounding acreage, it gives The Norwell House the character and versatility of a true gentleman’s farm.The current owners have undertaken substantial improvements during their stewardship of the property, including a new roof, heating upgrades, updated insulation and an expanded kitchen. For the antique lover, equestrian, collector, growing family or simply someone who appreciates homes that cannot be replicated today, The Norwell House offers something genuinely special: history, grace, space and possibility, all on Boston’s South Shore.
