About this House

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

    "We've lived in Nahant for 10 years. Many families have been here for generations. Based on a variety of criteria, it was voted safest community in the country in Coastal Living Magazine. No matter where you live, the ocean and a beach are just a short walk away. Nahant has beautiful, historic, old NewEngland homes to simple beach cottages (and everything in between). Many people liken it to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. It's a quaint, little town, where people love to get outside and walk their dogs, and stop to talk with neighbors. There are several walking trails, that include an Audibon, Bird Sanctuary, and a park along the ocean. It's a great place to raise a family and have your children grow up with memories of living by the ocean. For dining, there are 2 restaurants (one small one near the end of the island, and the other at the causeway with water views). Not only all of this, there ARE affordable homes for sale. "
