Three must-see open houses in Hingham
We found a Cape with a pool, a farmhouse with a four-stall barn, and a Colonial with wide pine flooring.
Looking for a place to settle down and escape the hustle and bustle of downtown Boston? Check out Hingham, which is a little more than an hour outside the city and has commuter rail and ferry service.
With its waterfront, parks, good schools, and abundance of youth sports, the charm of the town speaks for itself. Check out these three must-see open houses:
5 Lantern Lane
Listed for $699,900, this circa-1767 Colonial has three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and 1,267 square feet of living space. It was moved to its present 0.22-acre site in 1951. The yard is surrounded by stonewalls and has a brick patio, storage shed, and a garden. The living room offers a wood-burning fireplace, and the family room features a gas one. The house also has wide pine flooring.
There will be an open house on Sunday, April 15, from noon to 2 p.m.
606 Main St.
Set on 1.99 acres, this five-bedroom, 3.5-bath home has 3,872 square feet of living space and is listed for $1,399,900. Newly renovated, the farmhouse offers hardwood floors, recessed lighting, built-ins, and Indian slate tiles in the mudroom. There are marble counters, stainless-steel appliances, and a pantry in the white Shaker-style kitchen. The home also features a library, a living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room, and a walk-up attic. A pair of French doors in the family room leads to a deck and patio. The master suite has a walk-in closet, a double vanity, and a shower with a subway tile surround. The property, near Crooked Meadow River, also includes a barn with four horse stalls.
There will be an open house on Sunday, April 15, from 2 to 4 p.m.
1 Highfield Road
The highlight of this four-bedroom, 1.5-bath Cape just may be its family room, with its vaulted ceiling, fireplace, skylights, and slider to the backyard and the in-ground pool. All three bedrooms on the second floor of the 2,029-square-foot home have hardwood floors. The property, which sits on a 0.6-acre lot, is listed for $735,000. The living room also features a fireplace, and the house has a formal dining room. The first-floor bedroom could serve as a den, thanks to built-in bookshelves. There’s a family room on the lower level.
There will be an open house on Sunday, April 15, from 1 to 3 p.m.
