Listing broker remarks

Welcome to Crab Island, a picturesque compound rich in history and charm. Though not technically an island, the property earned its name in the early 1700s as Millbrook and Duck Hill Stream nearly encircle the land. The antique main home, built by clothier William Coomer across from the former textile mill, showcases original wide-plank wood floors with hand-hewn nails, exposed beams, a classic hearth, and timeless character throughout. Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a sunroom, library, den, dining room, and spacious kitchen, the home blends warmth and functionality. Complementing the historic residence is a beautifully designed guest house built in 2017 by JB Robbie, offering a modern retreat with today’s conveniences. Set on 1.57 private acres abutting town land, this rare Duxbury property perfectly balances historic charm and contemporary living.— South Shore Sotheby's International Realty
