Behind a classic white picket fence in the heart of Hingham Centre, this exceptional home seamlessly blends timeless New England architecture with sophisticated modern living. Thoughtfully renovated with exquisite craftsmanship and designer finishes throughout, the home offers the rare combination of an open floor plan, exceptional privacy, and an unbeatable in-town location. The heart of the home is a beautifully appointed chef's kitchen that flows into a gracious yet comfortable family room, creating the perfect setting for everyday living and entertaining. A dramatic wall of French doors opens to an extraordinary outdoor living space, extending the home into a private backyard retreat. Formal living and dining rooms, private office, spacious mudroom, two powder rooms, and a welcoming secondary entrance complete the main level. Upstairs, the elegant primary suite is joined by generously sized bedrooms accessed via the home's striking front staircase, while a separate staircase off the mudroom leads to a sun-filled bonus room overlooking the spectacular grounds -- ideal as a playroom, studio, or private guest retreat. The backyard is nothing short of extraordinary. Designed by acclaimed landscape architect Sean Papich, the grounds create a true private oasis. A sweeping bluestone patio flows directly from the family room to an outdoor kitchen pavilion, inviting al fresco dining throughout the seasons. Gather around the expansive fire pit, unwind among mature birch and evergreen trees, and enjoy terraced lawns framed by handcrafted stone walls, perennial gardens, and custom architectural landscape lighting that transforms the property after sunset. Completing this remarkable estate is a fully renovated modern barn unlike any other -- featuring polished concrete floors, a Fullswing (TM) golf simulator, surround sound, automated blackout shades, and flexible recreation or entertaining space that elevates the lifestyle well beyond the main residence. Additional highlights include a home gym, integrated whole-home sound system, smart lighting, and extensive exterior landscape lighting. A truly one-of-a-kind offering where classic Hingham charm meets exceptional design, luxury amenities, and resort-style outdoor living. All just moments from Hingham Square, restaurants, shops, schools, and the commuter boat & rail.
