Big as a home ... or a B&B

- By MIRIAM SCHWARTZ

Celebratin­g its 400th birthday this year, Plymouth has been a witness to the passing of time long before 1620, and long after.

It’s this enduring charm that has drawn visitors year after year, lured by the historic locale and its quintessen­tial New England flavor.

In the heart of Plymouth, you’ll find the opportunit­y to take over the Thornton Adams House, a successful eight-room bed & breakfast, as the new proprietor. Hotelier life not for you? Play host to just your family and friends with close to 5,500 square feet inside on half an acre, moments from Plymouth Bay.

If you’ve dreamed of leaving city life behind for a while and eyed an escape to the ocean, the home, located on sought-after Warren Avenue, just dropped on the market for $1,185,000.

As a single-family residence, the home is remarkably well-suited to intergener­ational living, not only because of its spaciousne­ss, but because every room enjoys access to an en-suite bathroom. Bring everyone together for the summer or holidays, share stories by the fireplace, or take in the manicured grounds from one of the home’s two decks. There are many spaces to congregate or spread out: a dining room with sliders to the deck and a family room off the kitchen, both awash with bright sunlight, and many more. The kitchen is a powerhouse, with plenty of elbow room to cook or grab a bite.

Whether you choose to make this your dream home or a dream destinatio­n for visitors to Plymouth, the home’s location is unbeatable, with proximity to beaches and state forests, and of course, the historical sights and sounds of town. Fine dining and shopping are also a stone’s throw from the residence and if you just can’t stay away, Boston is just 45 miles north.

The home is co-listed by agents Ashley Brennan, 781844-5302, and Michael Moran, 617-733-7660, both with Gibson Sotheby’s Internatio­nal Realty.
