This is a rare opportunity:  a beautifully maintained antique  on a 1.7 acre lot in a cherished Hingham Centre neighborhood. In the same family for many years, this property has kept its character and charm while being tastefully updated. Some special features include a new roof in 2015, a new furnace and central air in 2010, updated 200 amp electric service, an eat-in kitchen with quartz counters and adjacent laundry, a 3 season porch, a full, functional basement and a large storage shed. There are lots of built-ins, 3 fireplaces, a beehive oven, and  lovely Southern exposure.  One of the 4 bedrooms is on the first floor and could also be used as  an office or den.  The large wooded lot offers privacy and a peaceful backdrop.  Centrally located, this property is close to the library, train, 3A, high school and downtown.
