About 66 Prospect Street

Storybook 2 bedroom Cape overflowing with charm has been well-loved by the same family since 1957! This one will make you smile. Conveniently located and nicely sited in a magical, hard to replicate, South Hingham pocket neighborhood. The generous corner lot is level, lush and a little over 1/3 acre. While compact, the efficient floor plan offers a surprisingly large kitchen with breakfast bar opening onto the dining room and a gracious front to back living room with wood burning fireplace. Oak flooring throughout. Original arched doorways are a wonderful detail you don't often see in new construction. Full shed dormer at back of the house allows two very usable front-to-back bedrooms (1 is an unexpected ensuite) with 2 full baths upstairs. While the house is a little tired and needs love, it's absolutely brimming with potential! Many meaningful updates have already been completed including: 2 bedroom septic was installed 2004 (passing Title V); replacement windows and slider 2009; architectural shingle roof 2015; boiler and hot water tank 2016; whole house water filtration 2018; stainless flue liner and chimney cap 2024; oil tank (240 gallons) 2026. Note: the ceilings that show water damage are leftover from the historic winter of 2015 and the havoc caused by ice dams which is why roof was replaced. The enclosed breezeway (mud room) with access to both the front and bucolic backyard is super handy. The splendid East-facing brick patio provides a serene setting to start your day with morning coffee or perhaps meditation while basking in the glory of your private and verdant backyard. Nice bonus: driveway is on Forest Lane. A clever 8x10 addition to the rear of the garage provides a surprising amount of convenient storage. Good idea to watch short narrated video to better understand the setting and condition of this adorable home. Showings start at OH Friday September 18th. In the event of multiple offers, a deadline will be established.
