8 Border St, Scituate

This custom-designed, shingle style estate is an unusually attractive new home. The interior is still being completed, so except for the few kitchen photos below, I don't have photos of the inside yet. What is obvious is that the interior is stunning. The level of detail in the kitchen is extremely high. The rest of the home exudes outstanding craftsmanship and quality in every inch of this Falconi-built home.

8 Border Street, Scituate, is masterfully set in a private retreat. I am particularly fond of the view of the front lawn from the house. Looking further afield, one can see Hatherly Country Club and the Gulf River, with ocean views once the leaves have fallen from the trees.

This exquisite home boasts an open gourmet kitchen, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, a butler's pantry, dining room and study with coffered ceilings and custom wainscoting, among its many attractive qualities. The number of features is so long that I've simply included it as a bullet-point list below the pictures.

There are four ensuite bedrooms, including a spa-style master bath. Each of the 4 1/2 luxury bathrooms have all-porcelain tiles and radiant heated floors. Emtek hardware fixtures grace the cabinets and doors. Outside, there's a beautiful wrap-around porch.

This home sits on 4.08 acres and has 4,900 square feet of living area. It has 12 rooms on three levels, 4 bedrooms, 4 full and 1 half bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, first and second-floor laundries and a 3-car attached garage.

Heat is provided by 4 zones of gas-fired Hydro air and radiant heat, and cooling by 4 zones of central air conditioning. The home has a central vacuum and a security system.

Like much of this area of Scituate, the home is on town water with a private septic system. Separate well water is used for the irrigation system.

It's one mile from the house to Minot Beach or North Scituate center, and less than a mile and a quarter to Cohasset harbor. 

The Scituate schools includes Hatherly Elementary School, Gates grade school and Scituate High School.
