Exceptional downtown Hingham residence offering over 3,300 square feet of beautifully updated living space, impressive ceiling heights, abundant natural light and a private backyard retreat with an in-ground pool. Built in 1852, the home lends an enduring presence to the Lincoln neighborhood’s historic streetscape. The gracious, flexible floor plan features four bedrooms, 2.5 baths and generously proportioned rooms that blend timeless architectural detail with modern comfort. The renovated kitchen is a standout, featuring Faneuil cabinetry, hardwood floors and premium Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. Set on nearly half an acre, the professionally landscaped grounds create a private oasis in the heart of downtown, with mature gardens, lush lawn, pool, rear deck and three-season sunroom—ideal for entertaining and relaxed summer living. The current owners made significant investment to improve the home during their 20 year stewardship, which include a new roof, skylights and exterior paint and gutters in 2025. Upgraded pool equipment and winter pool cover, central air, new kitchen, mudroom and powder room are other significant investments. All of this just moments from Hingham Square, Derby Academy, Foster Elementary, restaurants, shops, the harbor and everything that makes downtown Hingham living so desirable.
