By Charles King | Published April 13, 2026 | Charles King Group, Hingham, MA

Finding more than 5,000 square feet of living space in South Hingham — privately set on nearly two acres alongside a town forest, and still minutes from Hingham Square, top-rated Hingham Public Schools, and the MBTA commuter rail — doesn't happen often. 152 Prospect Street is that house. Offered at $2,099,000, this is a four-bedroom, three-bath home that gives buyers size, privacy, and location without asking them to choose between the three.

What Sets 152 Prospect Street Apart From Other Large Homes in Hingham? 

Scale alone isn't the story here — it's how the space is organized. The main level centers on an open-concept kitchen that flows naturally into the living and dining areas, which is where you want the heart of a home this size to be. A fireplaced family room gives the house warmth and a genuine gathering place, and the four-season sunroom extends your usable living well beyond what the square footage suggests. 

Upstairs, the primary suite stands apart. A private annex off the bedroom works equally well as a home office, a sitting room, or a quiet reading space — the kind of room that's genuinely useful, not just a floor plan feature. The bonus room above the garage, accessible from two separate levels, gives the house a rare flexibility that buyers with different needs — work-from-home, guest suite, gym, recreation room — will all read differently and all appreciate.

The finished lower level rounds out a layout that has an answer for nearly every situation.

Why South Hingham? What This Location Actually Means for Buyers

South Hingham carries a particular reputation on the South Shore, and it's earned. The neighborhood is quieter and more private than the village center, properties tend to sit on larger lots, and you're still within a short drive of everything that makes Hingham one of the most desirable towns on the coast. 

152 Prospect Street makes that case clearly. The town forest alongside the property ensures the wooded backdrop and privacy aren't going anywhere. Meanwhile, Hingham Square — with its restaurants, shops, and harbor — is minutes away. The MBTA commuter rail is equally close, which matters in a market where Boston commuters actively search for Hingham homes for exactly this reason. And Hingham Public Schools, consistently rated among the best on the South Shore, are a meaningful part of why families with children make this town their target.

For buyers searching Cohasset, Scituate, Norwell, or Hanover who have also kept Hingham on their list: 152 Prospect Street makes a strong case for why Hingham sits at the top.
