Perched high on coveted Greenwood Avenue in Swampscott, this enchanting 4-bedroom, 2-bath home captures breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Boston skyline. With a nod to old-world charm, the home blends timeless character—rich woodwork, original moldings, and hardwood floors—with modern comforts. The sun-filled living and dining rooms offers ocean vistas, perfect for morning coffee or sunset gatherings. This lifestyle also spills out onto the screened in side porch and front porch where ocean breezes abound and allow you to embrace a lifestyle of coastal beauty, just moments from sandy beaches, sailing, and Swampscott’s commuter rail to Boston. The third-floor primary suite is a private retreat with its own ensuite bath and tree house style views that provide both privacy and tranquility. This is more than a home—it’s a serene seaside lifestyle with historic elegance and unbeatable views. A rare offering on one of Swampscott’s most picturesque streets.
