New construction on 3+ private acres in Swampscott, backed by numbers that do the selling: 2,227 square feet across two finished levels, plus a 604-square-foot lower-level family room that adds real bonus space beyond the official count. Four bedrooms, two full baths, and a powder room, laid out for how people actually live. The main level opens up — a kitchen with a waterfall-edge island, navy cabinetry, and a built-in wet bar flows straight into a fireplaced living room and a dining room with real table space. Hardwood runs throughout. Upstairs, the primary suite has a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with a double vanity and glass shower. Three more bedrooms share a second full bath, and second-floor laundry means no basket-hauling between floors. Downstairs, the finished family room (30'3" x 17'6") is ready for movie night, a home gym, or a playroom. Outside a 2-car garage, a private deck off the kitchen, a covered front porch, and a long driveway that sets the house back from the road. The lot itself runs over 3 acres combined, with a wetlands buffer keeping the back of the property permanently quiet. This one was built new, with three completed homes by the same builder already standing nearby — proof of quality you can see from the driveway. Swampscott keeps landing on North Shore short lists for the reasons that matter: an easy Boston commute, real yard space, and a slower pace that does not mean a longer drive.

Some houses ask you to imagine the life you could have. This one hands it to you, already done.Set back on a quiet, dead-end street in Swampscott, 123 Eastman Avenue is the kind of property that lets you exhale the moment you pull in. No through traffic, no rush — just a yard with real room to spread out, a back deck for slow mornings, and a screened porch for the in-between seasons. Inside, 2,240 square feet above grade across 8 rooms give everyone a place to land: 3 to 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a first-floor family room for the after-school chaos or the Sunday football pile-up, and a home office tucked behind its own door for the days you need to close it. The primary suite is its own retreat, big enough to actually unwind in, not just sleep in. The kitchen has been fully remodeled with an open-concept layout, the kind that keeps the cook in the conversation instead of walled off from it. Light moves easily through the main level, and the whole house has the settled, sun-filled feel of a home that's been genuinely cared for. The full basement is unfinished and offers approximately 880 s.f. of great expansion potential and storage space. Swampscott is a walkable coastal town with beach access and a vibrant downtown, and in 2024 it opened a brand-new K-4 elementary school that consolidated the town's elementary program into one modern building. For commuters, the Swampscott stop on the commuter rail gets you to Boston quickly and conveniently. Newer roof, new boiler and tankless water heater, redone second-floor baths, and 2025 replacement windows — more than $119,000 in documented improvements since 2007. The expensive, unglamorous work is already done.This is what move-in ready is supposed to feel like: the systems are current, the big decisions are made, and what's left is just living here.

Rich in detail from the 1800s, with abundant updates and surround-sound serenity, this home is truly a rare find. While cherishing the oversized rooms, high ceilings, original hardwood floors, fireplaces and ocean-views, the current stewards spared no expense with their focus on both environment and efficiency-friendly upgrades, and thereby catapulted this grand residence into a league of its own. Geothermal heating, tesla solar shingle roof, EV-chargers in garage, almost-whole-house re-wiring, and central air conditioning. They replaced the study with a high-end and gorgeous kitchen that captures the view. This home is beckoning to those who relish morning coffee on the porch, workouts and working from glorious sunrooms, and unforgettable holiday celebrations.
