About this home

A rare opportunity to own a treasured Colonial in the heart of Hingham's Downtown Historic District, just steps from the Harbor and village center. Set on .31 acres, this remarkable five-bedroom home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully restored, preserving its historic character while creating a warm, inviting setting for today's lifestyle. The gracious interior features elegant living and dining rooms, a cozy den, and a sprawling 30-foot family room with exposed beams and a fireplace overlooking the terrace and play yard. A skylit primary suite occupies a private third-floor retreat with sweeping views toward the Harbor and World's End.Among the home's most cherished features is its original wood-burning beehive oven, lovingly restored to working order, a true piece of the home's history and a wonderful way to gather, bake fresh bread, or fire homemade pizzas. The beautifully landscaped grounds offer exceptional flexibility, including two outbuildings, one a garage with a workshop and living space above, offering potential for future ADU use, subject to town approval. Perennial gardens, pergolas, climbing roses, fruit trees, herb gardens, and stone walls create a private, inviting setting, while a newly replaced retaining wall and meticulously restored exterior reflect the thoughtful stewardship this property has received. The location is truly unmatched. Stroll to Downtown Hingham for shops, restaurants, a movie, the Farmers Market, and the Bathing Beach, or take in the Harbor and seasonal Island fireworks just moments from home. A rare combination of historic character, versatile outbuildings, beautiful grounds, and an extraordinary village location, 25 Ship Street is a special Hingham property ready to be cherished for generations to come.
