Terrific views on waterfront

- By Miriam Schwartz

Whether you’re greeting the sun in the morning or watching it slowly melt away in the evening, there’s no wrong time to be at 12 Midway Road in Duxbury.

The expansive, turnkey custom home occupies a choice waterfront slice on the Standish Shore peninsula — the perfect launchpad for summer days spent on the water. Launching a kayak or your stand-up paddleboar­d is as easy as walking out to the backyard.

Walls of windows, extensive decking, and a bluestone patio allow you to make the most of the home’s picturesqu­e location with glittering water rarely far from view.

The 5,619 square-foot stunner enjoys four floors and five bedrooms. There are tons of bonus spaces for family and friends to gather for meals, movies, or friendly competitio­n — there’s a golf simulator on the lower level.

A nice departure from

its more traditiona­l footprint, the home’s main floor is comprised of a long, open-concept space that unfurls from a stateof-the-art kitchen with Thermador and Sub-Zero appliances, to a dining area by a long window bank, and finally into a living room with built-ins and a fireplace. Of course that’s not all — there is a sunroom overlookin­g the dock and a first-floor primary suite.

Can’t agree on the day’s activities? Luckily, there’s a large bonus room on the top floor, and a family room with kitchenett­e on the walk-out lower level, so everyone can spread out and do their own thing.

Open house hours are Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 4 and 5, from noon to 2 p.m, by appointmen­t. The home is on the market for $5,000,000. The sale is represente­d by Jill Cohen with Redfin, 781838-2482.
