As of May 2026Privately set on one of Cohasset’s most desirable streets, this beautifully maintained Colonial offers a rare blend of setting, condition, and everyday livability—just one mile from the beach.

At the heart of the home, the inviting, oversized great room features soaring beamed cathedral ceilings, wide pine floors, custom built-ins, and a wood-burning fireplace insert, ideal for both relaxed living and entertaining. A cozy, sun-filled sunroom with skylights and Andersen sliders opens to the kitchen and deck, overlooking a private, wooded backyard surrounded by mature trees. A rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, and comfort in a coastal community—nothing to do but move in and enjoy.
