A rare find in Swampscott: a beautifully maintained, move-in-ready Colonial built in 2002, offering almost 3k square feet of finished living space-all for under $1 million! Handsomely crafted dry-stacked stone walls frame the property, while stone steps create a welcoming approach as you step inside to the striking Palladian-style window that brings abundant natural light into the soaring 2-story foyer and makes an impressive first impression. Thoughtfully designed main level flows easily from room to room, balancing traditional spaces with open layout that works for today's lifestyle. The living room and dining room provide inviting settings for entertaining, while the open kitchen and family room create a comfortable gathering space centered around a wood-burning fireplace. Designed for both everyday living and hosting, the kitchen features Black Galaxy granite countertops, Bosch appliances, abundant oak cabinetry, and two distinct dining areas: peninsula seating for casual meals and a sunny breakfast area positioned beside a bay window overlooking the yard. The living space continues outdoors onto a large, updated deck with plenty of room for cookouts, alfresco dinners, and relaxed afternoons in the sun-filled yard. So, whether hosting a holiday gathering or enjoying a quiet weekend at home, this property offers space for every season. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, including a spacious, front-to-back primary suite with hardwood floors, 2 generous closets, and ample room for a king-size bed. The newly updated en-suite bath features a double-sink vanity, beautiful tile work, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. 3 Additional bedrooms share a 2nd freshly updated full bath. The finished lower level adds valuable flexibility, with space for a kids' playroom room, a teen hangout, home gym, office, or any combination that suits your needs plus a half-bath. Full-size windows bring in natural light, and direct access to the 2-car tandem garage provides welcome convenience during the winter months. Pull down stairs for impressive storage in attic. Ideally located within easy walking distance of the commuter rail-making it possible to leave the car at home-and near Swampscott High School. Lovely Swampscott offers a distinctive coastal lifestyle, with beautiful beaches, scenic oceanfront paths, historic architecture, local shops and restaurants, and convenient commuter rail service to Boston. It's a North Shore town where seaside charm and a strong sense of community come together.
