Experience coastal living at its finest in a private Nahant enclave, where views of Egg Rock and the open ocean create a remarkable backdrop. Set on a generous 0.46-acre lot, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath reimagined New England Colonial spans 3, 008 sq. ft. of timeless character and modern flexibility. A welcoming farmer's porch is perfect for enjoying a beautiful sunrise. Step inside to be greeted by soaring 9.5-ft ceilings and expansive windows that flood the home with brilliant natural light. The main level showcases rich hardwood floors, an expansive working fireplace, and a spacious chef's kitchen featuring quartz countertops, double ovens, a gas stove, wine chiller, and a center island that celebrates the heart of the home. The staircase features the original handrail beautifully updated with custom metal balusters. Upstairs, a generous primary suite offers stunning water views, a large walk-in closet, and a private en-suite bath, accompanied by three additional bedrooms, laundry, and a full bath. The lower level is a versatile retreat offering a family room with a private patio, a wet bar, office area, full bath, generous bedroom, and a second laundry area—ideal for guests, extended family, or a returning college grad. Outside, a back patio sets the stage for entertaining, while the expansive lot offers potential for an ADU, detached garage, or backyard oasis, complete with tons of storage. Located moments to the Nahant Country Club, Canoe Beach, and Seaport Landing Marina, this home offers easy access to local education utilizing the Johnson Elementary School, alongside Swampscott Middle and High School. Enjoy convenient proximity to great eateries and all amenities, including the commuter rail and Route 1 into Boston. Don't miss your chance to own this reimagined coastal retreat!
