About This Home

As of May 2025

This charming 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom colonial home has been cherished by the same family for 78 years. Now it's your chance to create your own wonderful memories! The home features a formal dining room, an eat-in kitchen, and a spacious sunroom that adds extra square footage. Most rooms have pristine hardwood flooring beneath the carpets. Two-car garage and manicured yard. The home is conveniently located just steps away from the Swampscott dog park and less than a mile from the MBTA commuter rail station, offering a quick 25-minute train ride to North Station. Beaches and the bustling town hall area are just a mile and a half away, providing access to exciting events, lively concerts, and a seasonal farmers market. And the illuminated town Christmas parade even rides by the front door! Not to mention, this Fall Swampscott has opened its new town-wide elementary school, featuring state-of-the-art facilities for grades K-4.
