Listing broker remarks

Experience the feeling of living in the country while being right in the heart of Hingham. Set on 1.85 acres of beautiful grounds, this distinctive property offers a rare combination of charm, privacy, gardens, water, and space—creating the feeling of a small farm tucked into one of Hingham's most desirable residential areas. The charming farmhouse offers 3 bedrooms and 2½ baths with approximately 2,553 square feet of living space. Original character, including exposed beams, hardwood floors and a fireplace, blend naturally with comfortable, inviting living spaces filled with light. Sliding glass doors open toward the grounds, creating an easy connection between the home and the outdoors. The property is especially appealing for those who enjoy being surrounded by nature. Beautiful gardens, mature trees and plantings, fruit trees, open lawn, and a peaceful creek running through the property create a setting that changes beautifully with the seasons. There are countless places to garden, entertain, relax, or simply enjoy the quiet. A separate studio provides an ideal private workspace for working from home, while also offering flexibility as an art studio, creative space, exercise room, or personal retreat. Adding to the property's versatility is an EXTRODINARY 30' x 60' barn with a heated workshop, garage/storage space, and an expansive second floor. While its possibilities are almost limitless, the barn is simply another element of a property designed around flexibility, space, and enjoying the outdoors. It is a unique Hingham property where the house, acreage, gardens, and extraordinary barn come together to create something that is increasingly difficult to find. There is a wonderful sense of discovery here—you arrive in Hingham, yet the setting feels as though you've stepped away to a private country retreat. Enjoy the gardens, work from the studio, listen to the creek, entertain outdoors, or simply relax and appreciate the space around you. Close to shops, restaurants, commuter rail and more, this is truly a special property for those who value convenience, character, nature, privacy, and a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly rare in Hingham.— Coldwell Banker Realty - Hingham
