OH CANCELLED. Much admired 4000 SF gambrel with lots of CHARM set perfectly atop a knoll, behind a white picket fence! This picture perfect home is as lovely inside as it is outside. In the last few years, sellers did a major RENOVATION of the kitchen/family room space, creating a more open floor plan with French doors to the back deck and yard. Pretty white kitchen with large island, pantry and great natural light open to the family room. Butlers pantry with wine refrigerator and beautiful cabinetry. Fabulous living room w/floor to ceiling bookcases and fireplace and a gracious vaulted ceiling dining room. Spacious BONUS room with another fireplace and a sun filled 2 story mudroom/entry foyer complete the first floor. Upstairs there are 4/5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, including a beautiful primary suite with large walk in dressing room/closet. Sweeping front lawn with gorgeous red maple and large private back deck and yard. Fabulous Center Hingham neighborhood.
