About This Home
Privately 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. Cherished by the same family for 22 yrs, the home has been thoughtfully improved over time, with major maintenance and capital upgrades already completed to provide true move-in ease. Approx. 3100 sf of living space includes a finished LL with office and gym, offering flexibility for today’s lifestyle. 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.
