About this home

Sunshine, surf & community. Summer in Nahant is filled with events you will love! This weekend is a road race, field day fun & a wharf party too. This gorgeous home is on a private side street with ocean views & only steps to the shoreline. This exceptional 1875 home is thoughtfully reimagined while honoring its architecture. Soaring 10ft ceilings, a grand staircase, wide white oak floors & curated designer finishes create timeless elegance. The chef’s kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz counters, a Thermador appliance suite. Sunlight, ocean air & views fill every level, while the expansive farmer’s porch captures stunning sunrises. A rare .47-acre dual frontage lot outside the flood zone generously allows for further property enhancement. Near to beaches, boating, many outdoor activities & the nearby Boston ferry. The lower level is setup for an inlaw suite, however, there is an option to recreate a garage space. A home designed with timeless craftsmanship & understated luxury.
