About this home

CHARMING c.1687 antique Cape, beautifully updated for today’s lifestyle, just moments to downtown Hingham and the train! Gorgeous period details—including wide-plank pine floors, exposed beams, the original center chimney and multiple fireplaces—create warmth and character throughout. The amount of living space is truly surprising! The first floor offers a spacious dining room perfect for entertaining, a pretty living room and a FABULOUS 30' x 14' family room at the heart of the home, anchored by a SPECTACULAR 7-foot-wide fireplace. The kitchen features custom inset cabinetry, a sit-at island, Viking range and walk-in pantry. A generous mudroom with half bath provides the perfect drop zone upon entry. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a lovely primary suite with private bath. Outside, enjoy a charming patio and backyard, plus a brick and cobblestone driveway for parking. A truly extraordinary opportunity to become the next steward of this exquisite home—nearly three and a half centuries of history…if only the walls could talk!
