A mid-century modern home in Cohasset, Massachusetts, is on the market for $1.45 million, reflecting both its architectural character and expansive wooded setting. The 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence sits on a 1.87-acre lot that offers a sense of seclusion while remaining under an hour’s drive from downtown Boston.
Originally constructed in 1960 as a ranch, the property was significantly expanded and remodeled by a previous owner, resulting in its current layout. Jennifer L. Chu purchased the home in 2015, drawn primarily to its abundant natural light and wooded surroundings. Recently, Chu undertook updates to key areas, including the kitchen and bathrooms, before deciding to relocate closer to family.
The home’s approach features a curved walkway of pale gray ceramic tiles leading to a porch with a bright orange front door framed by multiple glass panes. This entry gives way to a foyer, which extends straight through to the back of the house. The living room occupies a trapezoidal space at the front of the residence, highlighted by a cathedral ceiling reaching approximately 13 feet, original white oak flooring, and large plate-glass windows that fill the room with natural light. Clerestory and casement windows contribute to the bright and open ambiance.
Adjacent to the living area are three bedrooms, each featuring sizable windows and ceiling fans. The full bathroom servicing this section includes a shower with a river stone floor and ceramic tile finishes.
Toward the rear of the home, the foyer leads to the kitchen and dining areas, along with a second full bathroom and the primary suite. The kitchen spans 315 square feet and includes white cabinetry, quartz countertops with a marble-like appearance on the island, stainless steel appliances, and a backsplash composed of large-format Spanish Porcelanosa tiles. A half-bathroom adjacent to the kitchen also functions as a laundry room.
The dining area covers 378 square feet and is notable for its extensive glazing and access to a 304-square-foot deck, as well as sliders opening to a three-season porch. A wood-burning fireplace, original to the home, is situated on an interior wall near the kitchen.
The three-season porch measures 162 square feet and is enveloped by windows, with part of its roof constructed from corrugated translucent plastic, a feature retained from earlier ownership. The primary bedroom, at 285 square feet, maintains the white oak flooring and is illuminated by recessed lighting and a series of clear glass windows, including a door leading to a private deck facing the backyard.
Additional amenities include a 122-square-foot walk-in closet and a 121-square-foot primary bathroom featuring a deep oval soaker tub set against Spanish Porcelanosa tile and a walk-through shower with dual entrances without doors.
The property also features a garden area that includes beehives tended by FoxRock Farms, an initiative aimed at supporting local pollinator populations. Chu noted regular sightings of a fox at specific times each morning on the property.
