5 Manson RoadSwampscott, MA 01907Price: $1,200,000

New construction on 3+ private acres in Swampscott, backed by numbers that do the selling: 2,227 square feet across two finished levels, plus a 604-square-foot lower-level family room that adds real bonus space beyond the official count. Four bedrooms, two full baths, and a powder room, laid out for how people actually live. The main level opens up - a kitchen with a waterfall-edge island, navy cabinetry, and a built-in wet bar flows straight into a fireplaced living room and a dining room with real table space. Hardwood runs throughout. Upstairs, the primary suite has a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with a double vanity and glass shower. Three more bedrooms share a second full bath, and second-floor laundry means no basket-hauling between floors. Downstairs, the finished family room (30'3" x 17'6") is ready for movie night, a home gym, or a playroom. Outside a 2-car garage, a private deck off the kitchen, a covered front porch, and a long driveway that sets the house back from the road. The lot itself runs over 3 acres combined, with a wetlands buffer keeping the back of the property permanently quiet. This one was built new, with three completed homes by the same builder already standing nearby - proof of quality you can see from the driveway. Swampscott keeps landing on North Shore short lists for the reasons that matter: an easy Boston commute, real yard space, and a slower pace that does not mean a longer drive.
