Listing broker remarks

Step into a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hingham’s rich history. Located within the highly desirable Lincoln Local Historic District, this circa 1829 Cape offers timeless character and exceptional potential for restoration. Brimming with original charm, the home features hardwood floors throughout, period details, and the kind of craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated today.The property offers a spacious backyard—ideal for outdoor enjoyment, gardening, or future enhancements—along with an four season room off the rear of the home, perfect for relaxing or entertaining across the seasons. Inside, the layout includes two full bathrooms, adding to the home’s functionality and livability. Set just moments from the MBTA commuter rail and within easy walking distance to downtown Hingham’s shops, dining, and harborfront, the location is as compelling as the property itself. The home includes two off-street parking spaces—an added convenience in this historic neighborhood!— Foundation Brokerage Group
