About This Home

As of October 2022

The perfect gem of a house and in an idyllic location in the seaside town of Swampscott. Perched at the end of a dead-end street this home is just a stone’s throw to Eisman's Beach, Phillips Park and all the shops and restaurants that Swampscott has to offer. Upon entry you are greeted with an open concept living and dining area that spills right into a chef's dream kitchen with stainless steel appliances, loads of storage and like the rest of the home was fully renovated in 2017. Rounding out the main floor are 3 large sized bedrooms including the primary bedroom which has a stunning en-suite bathroom. The lower level provides a massive family room, additional bedroom and yet another renovated full bath! The magic doesn't stop here... there is also an attached 2 car garage, central AC and the true cherry on top is the huge third of an acre back yard for all your outdoor activities. Pack your toothbrush and move right in!
