Description

Beautifully renovated 2BR/2BA waterfront property with a City of Quincy mooring directly off of the beach. This home features hardwood floors and an open living area floor plan. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances including a dual fuel oven, warming drawer and gas cooktop with fifth burner/griddle. Custom greenhouse with electricity and water for extending the growing season, starting spring seedlings, or growing your own. There are two brand new bathrooms: the guest bath features a freestanding soaking tub and soapstone sink, the private master bathroom has a custom shower and soaking tub. The master bedroom features a cathedral ceiling and looks out on the water and sunsets with a private balcony. There is a new 2014 tankless gas hot water heater in the laundry room with new energy efficient Whirlpool gas dryer and washer. The new roof assembly with a 25 year warranty includes new plywood and architectural shingles installed in 2010. A deep energy retrofit was performed in 2013 through Mass Save with spray foam insulation, new heating and air conditioning, and new triple pane windows. The home has updated electrical and plumbing throughout. In 2016 a new 35 solar panel array was purchased to offset over 80% of the home’s electricity. The property is subject to flood insurance, which can be transferred with the home – currently $524/yr with Liberty Mutual. There is a fenced back yard, off-street parking, and a basement workshop ready for a handyman or to be converted into additional living space. This house is move-in ready, but you could do a bit more work to make it your own. There is the potential for finishing the insulated basement.
