Beautifully sited on the hill behind Front St and boasting lovely views of Scituate Harbor and the ocean is this remarkable Craftsman Shingled style home. Believed to be constructed by local merchant William Paley Allen over a century ago, this long admired private residence was once used as a family funeral home and then as a renowned Bed & Breakfast for over 20 years - returning to a private residence in 2007. Its ageless charm can be seen in the classic architecture, beautiful woodwork, stylish floors, large windows, grand fireplaces and lovely grounds (complete with newer in-ground pool). This stunning home is just steps to Scituate's hip & happening harbor district. There are seven delightful bedrooms each with its own lovely en suite full bath. The layout offers great in-law potentials. The top level presents as a grand private suite with great room, kitchen, bed & bath. House (w/out garage) on 15,594 SF land can be purchased separately (18 Allen Place) - see MLSPIN 72466585.
