Coming Soon in Hingham: A Modern Farmhouse on 1.36 Private Acres at 108 Kilby Street

Published October 7, 2026 | By Charles King, Charles King Group | Listing details provided by Charles King

A new listing is coming soon to Hingham, MA. 108 Kilby Street is a 2014-built modern farmhouse on a private 1.36-acre lot. It combines farmhouse character with serious environmental performance: 28 owned solar panels, super-insulated 12-inch exterior walls, and a layout built around a first-floor primary suite. Homes in Hingham that pair newer construction, acreage, and this level of efficiency are uncommon, so this is one to watch before it goes live.

What Makes This Hingham Modern Farmhouse Stand Out?

Many homes call themselves farmhouses. This one was built with a clear design philosophy. The open-concept living space centers on a Morsø wood-burning stove, and oversized Marvin windows bring in sunlight throughout the day. Marvin is a premium window manufacturer known for build quality and longevity, which affects both how the home feels and how well it holds heat.

In the kitchen, energy-efficient appliances sit alongside recycled glass countertops. The countertops are a durable, distinctive surface that fits the home’s sustainable approach without giving up style.

What it means: Buyers get the warmth and character of a farmhouse in a home that is only 12 years old. You avoid the maintenance that usually comes with an antique property.

How Energy Efficient Is 108 Kilby Street?

Efficiency is where this home separates itself. Most homes are framed with 2x4 or 2x6 exterior walls, roughly 3.5 to 5.5 inches deep. The 12-inch exterior walls at 108 Kilby Street leave room for far more insulation. That means steadier indoor temperatures, fewer drafts, and less energy spent on heating and cooling in a New England winter.

Add 28 solar panels that are owned, not leased, and the efficiency story gets stronger. With owned panels, the next buyer doesn’t take over a lease, doesn’t face a third-party contract review at closing, and keeps the benefit of the energy the system produces.

What it means: For buyers watching long-term operating costs, owned solar and a super-insulated envelope can meaningfully lower what it costs to run the home. They’re also features that are hard and expensive to add after the fact.

What Is the Floor Plan Like?

The layout puts single-level living first. The first-floor primary suite has a spa-like bath, so the owner’s main living space works without stairs. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, a full bath, and a flexible bonus space that works as a home office, gym, or media room.

What it means: The first-floor primary suite plus a separate upstairs wing is one of the most requested layouts among Hingham buyers. Guests, extended family, or a work-from-home setup each get their own space.

What Outdoor Space Comes With the Home?

The 1.36-acre lot is set up to be lived on, not just mowed. Outdoor features include:

• A screened porch for bug-free summer evenings
• Multiple patios for entertaining or quiet mornings
• Many fruit trees and raised garden beds
• A custom treehouse
• Plenty of open space to relax, play, or host

What it means: If you’ve wanted to grow your own food, entertain outdoors, or simply have room and privacy, this property offers that without a long drive away from Hingham’s town amenities.

Why Hingham?

Hingham is one of the South Shore’s most sought-after towns. It offers a historic downtown, Hingham Harbor, the Hingham Shipyard, and commuter access to Boston by ferry and the Greenbush commuter rail line. Buyers here are often looking for exactly this combination: a private setting that still feels connected to town life and the city.

What it means: A private acre-plus lot in Hingham gives you space and quiet while keeping the convenience that makes the town so competitive.

What This Means for Buyers

Coming soon listings give prepared buyers a head start. To be ready when 108 Kilby Street opens for showings:

• Get pre-approved now. Distinctive Hingham properties can draw strong early interest.
• Know your must-haves. If a first-floor primary, acreage, or energy efficiency is on your list, this home checks all three.
• Ask about the solar. Request production history and documentation once available so you can judge the real-world savings.
