About The Historic Homefront
Gorgeous bay views from this landmark property near the heart of coveted Duxbury’s Snug Harbor. Built in 1896 by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Mattakesett Hall was once the largest gathering hall in Duxbury. For nearly 80 years, it hosted dances, lectures, movies and even bowling, before being transformed into a residence in 1975.
Today, Mattakesett Hall blends its storied past with modern luxury. The dramatic 40 x 60 Great Room with 17-foot ceilings anchors the interior, while a spacious family room with fireplace and two chef’s kitchens overlook Duxbury Bay. The home offers 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths- including a luxurious primary ensuite with private deck and his-and-hers walk-in closets - and an outdoor shower, providing flexibility for generational living or creative layouts. An elevator ensures easy access across multiple levels and a rare 5-car garage adds unmatched convenience. An entertainer’s dream on the waterfront!
The second and third floors showcase sweeping views of the bay, with classic character seamlessly enhanced by modern amenities. Perfectly situated between Snug Harbor and Bluefish River, close to Duxbury Bay Maritime School, harbor access, Island Creek Oyster and nearby schools and beaches, this is your opportunity to own one of Duxbury’s most distinctive and unforgettable landmarks.
