Property Description
Built in 1768, 286 Essex Street is a piece of Weymouth history. Sitting prominently up on a hill, this Antique-style home, a white post-and-beam structure, predates the American Revolution, standing watch over Central Weymouth for over 250 years. Anchored by a granite foundation, the 4-bed, 2-bath house offers 2,800 square feet of flexible living. The second floor even features a kitchenette, perfect for multi-generational living or an au pair suite. While two fireplaces offer Colonial charm on the main level, the third floor reveals a huge, versatile bonus room—a blank canvas perfect for a massive media room, playroom, or guest suite. Adding to its appeal is the detached garage, which is heated and wired for electricity, making it the perfect “he-shed,” “she-shed,” or dedicated workspace. Sitting on a 0.58-acre lot with modern city utilities, this historical landmark seamlessly blends old-world character with the space needed for contemporary life.
