About this home

Welcome home to a classic 1890 Antique Colonial in "Big" Nahant. The wraparound porch gives it that quintessential New England presence, set behind mature shade trees and a brick front walk. Inside, the home offers 1,784 square feet of living space across three levels, three bedrooms, one bath, and six total rooms, with a finished lower level for extra living space. A spacious one-car garage on a 7,362-square-foot lot. Enjoy the lifestyle and coastal charm in Nahant, New England's best-kept secret, just 14 miles from Boston and minutes from Logan Airport. Nestled on a rocky peninsula northeast of the city, this town has a rare, almost island-like atmosphere. Its laid-back community and classic New England charm blend natural beauty with city convenience, all within easy reach of the airport and downtown. Every home has a story and this much beloved house, in the same family for over 50 years, is waiting for it's next chapter! There is space on the lot to add additional parking-see photo
