Property details
About 489 Main St
Antique 4BR Cape (no historical restrictions & brand-new 5BR septic to be installed) set on 1.53 acres. Hardwood floors, including "King Pine," exude warmth & history. The spacious family room overlooks a picturesque yard with a magnificent copper beech tree & mature plantings. A large detached barn with two spacious rooms, a loft & 2-car garage offers endless possibilities—an artist’s retreat, workshop, storage, or creative space. A separate structure, formerly a medical office, provides exceptional versatility: per town bylaws, it may allow a small business or an ADU (roof 2023), ideal for multi-generational living, rental apartment, nanny suite, or home office/studio (town approval needed). A two-story shed, set further back, hints at "cluck cluck." Stroll to Hingham Center for the best bagels in town, plus soccer, tennis/pickleball, volleyball & basketball behind Town Hall. Easy access to Main St. Market, commuter boat/train, Downtown, High School, Wompatuck Park & farmers markets.
