Deal of the Week: A Rare South Hingham Ranch with Major Potential at $949,000

If you’ve been watching the Hingham market, you know that well-located single-level homes with strong bones and meaningful opportunities for customization rarely become available—especially in South Hingham. This week’s Deal of the Week, 4 Richard Road, checks all of those boxes and more, making it a standout opportunity for buyers seeking value and long-term upside in one of the South Shore’s most desirable communities.

Recently reduced by $50,000, this home now represents even stronger affordability within a market where updated ranch-style homes under $1M are increasingly hard to find.

Spacious One-Level Living in a Highly Sought-After Location

Set on an expansive flat corner lot, this 2,536 sq. ft. ranch-style home offers:

• Five bedrooms

• Versatile living areas

• Multiple layout options ideal for today’s lifestyle

The home’s single-level footprint appeals to families, downsizers, multigenerational living, and anyone wanting simplicity without sacrificing square footage. With room for a home office, guest wing, or expanded living areas, the floor plan offers a level of flexibility that is rare in this price range.

Recent upgrades add tremendous peace of mind for future owners, including:

• New 200-amp electrical panel

• Brand-new 5-bedroom septic system scheduled for installation prior to closing

These big-ticket updates provide immediate value—especially for buyers considering renovations down the road.

Outdoor Amenities That Stand Out in Hingham

One of the premier features of 4 Richard Road is the beautifully landscaped backyard complete with an in-ground pool, spacious side yard, and excellent privacy. The outdoor space is ideal for:

• Hosting summer gatherings

• Backyard entertaining

• Daily outdoor play

• Relaxing poolside

Finding a home in Hingham with this level of outdoor usability—especially at this price point—is exceptionally rare.

Prime South Hingham Location for Convenience & Lifestyle

South Hingham continues to attract buyers for its charm, neighborhood feel, and unmatched access to the best amenities on the South Shore. From this address, you’ll enjoy:

• Minutes to Route 3 for an easy Boston commute

• Close proximity to Derby Street Shops, offering high-end retail & dining

• Directly across from McKenna Conservation Area, perfect for walking, biking, and exploring

• Situated in one of Hingham’s most beloved residential neighborhoods

This location blends everyday convenience with the lifestyle buyers increasingly prioritize.

A Chance to Customize & Add Equity in One of Hingham’s Most Desirable Areas

While the home has been well cared for and thoughtfully updated, it also presents a unique opportunity for buyers to make it their own. Whether you're envisioning cosmetic updates, a reimagined layout, or an expansion, the lot and footprint offer excellent renovation and equity-building potential.

For buyers seeking space, convenience, lifestyle, and long-term value—all under $1 million—4 Richard Road is a property worth acting on quickly.
