About Marshfield Hills, MA
The word “charming” may be an overused descriptor for many neighborhoods, but the Marshfield Hills area isn’t famous just because of a few well-known residents—it’s widely renowned for its unique charm. “What attracts people here—instead of some of the other suburban areas around Boston—is the charm and beauty of the village itself,” says Janet Koelsch, real estate agent and resident of Marshfield Hills since 1988. Fans of a certain office-based TV show may be thrilled to learn Steve Carell is the owner of the Marshfield Hills General Store, a fact that demonstrates just how attractive the community is for those looking for a slice of the quiet life.
“It’s almost like it’s frozen in time, and you’re stepping back into history,” says Koelsch about the general vibe of Marshfield Hills. A walk down the street proves just how historical the area is, with houses consisting mainly of Cape Cod and colonial-revival styles at prices ranging from $550,000 to $1.25 million—though homes on the waterfront can easily go for upward of $2 million. Much like the town itself, the homes exude old-world charm. “I would consider a lot of the homes in the area to be antiques, and even the newer homes are modeled to match the older ones in many ways,” says Koelsch.
Students in Marshfield Hills can begin learning at Martinson Elementary School, before moving on to Furnace Brook Middle School and wrapping up at Marshfield High School—which earned grades of A-minus, A-minus, and B-plus respectively. After school, students and their families can head over to the Marshfield Hills General Store—affectionately known as The Genny to locals—and enjoy a sweet treat at the recently renovated dentist office-turned-ice cream parlor right next door. Families can also head to the local playground at Brook’s Park, and those looking to commune with nature can do so on one of the trails at the expansive Daniel Webster Wildlife Sanctuary.
The Genny is one of the hubs of Marshfield Hills (it serves as home to the local post office as well) and patrons may run into Carell during the summer months. Just down the street from the general store, students of all ages can take classes at the North River Arts Society—a big part of the town’s artistic identity. During May’s art festival, artists gather over the course of two days to display their work among a variety of food trucks and vendors. “It’s a very artsy town, so the festival is a wonderful way for us Marshfield Hills residents to get together and welcome everyone from the surrounding area too,” says Koelsch. Fans of classic rock may even run into one of their idols—Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, who is a longtime resident and known fan of the North River Arts Society.
With more than one famous resident calling Marshfield Hills home, the area clearly has far-reaching appeal. “I think celebrities love this place because it lets anyone who moves here live a peaceful life,” says Koelsch. “Everyone treats everyone equally, and everyone enjoys a quieter way of living.” Those seeking a slice of the quiet rural life, without having to give up on all the urban amenities Boston has to offer, could find just what they’re looking for in Marshfield Hills.

Transitioning into real estate, my commitment to a personalized approach became my driving force, helping clients achieve their goals with a focus on service excellence. My mission is to manage every transactional detail, from property selection to the closing table, ensuring a positive experience for each client. I’m a North Shore native and Hingham resident since 1996, where my husband (a lifelong Hingham resident) and I have raised our two sons. Beyond real estate, I am actively involved in public and private schools in the area, contributing to the vibrancy of our community. When not assisting clients, you'll find me enjoying seasonal activities, from relaxing on the South Shore beaches in the summer to skiing in Vermont during the winter. I also indulge in hobbies such as needlepoint, running, and yoga.
