Behind a classic white picket fence in the heart of Hingham Center, this exceptional home seamlessly blends timeless New England architecture with sophisticated modern living. Thoughtfully renovated with exquisite craftsmanship and designer finishes throughout, the home offers the rare combination of an open floor plan, exceptional privacy, and an unbeatable location. The heart of the home is a beautifully appointed chef's kitchen that flows into a gracious yet comfortable family room, creating the perfect setting for everyday living and entertaining. A dramatic wall of French doors opens to an extraordinary outdoor living space, extending the home into a private backyard retreat. Formal living and dining rooms, private office, spacious mudroom, two powder rooms, and a welcoming secondary entrance complete the main level. Upstairs, the elegant primary suite is joined by generously sized bedrooms accessed via the home's central staircase, while a separate staircase off the mudroom leads to a sun-filled bonus room overlooking the spectacular grounds -- ideal as a playroom, studio, or private guest retreat. The backyard is nothing short of extraordinary. Designed by acclaimed landscape architect Sean Papich, the grounds create a true private oasis. A sweeping bluestone patio flows directly from the family room to an outdoor kitchen pavilion, inviting al fresco dining throughout the seasons. Gather around the expansive fire pit, unwind among mature birch and evergreen trees, and enjoy terraced lawns framed by handcrafted stone walls, perennial gardens, and custom architectural landscape lighting that transforms the property after sunset. Completing this remarkable estate is a fully renovated modern barn unlike any other -- featuring polished concrete floors, a Fullswing (TM) golf simulator, surround sound, automated blackout shades, and flexible recreation or entertaining space that elevates the lifestyle well beyond the main residence. Additional highlights include a home gym, integrated whole-home sound system, smart lighting, and extensive exterior landscape lighting. A truly one-of-a-kind offering where classic Hingham charm meets exceptional design, luxury amenities, and resort-style outdoor living. All just moments from Hingham Square, restaurants, shops, schools, and the commuter boat & rail.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 5,447 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 51,761 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.

Estimates — not financial advice

These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
