5 Luxe New England Homes from Hingham to Nantucket

Steps from downtown Hingham, this Mansard-style residence pairs timeless architecture with thoughtfully updated living. Soaring ceilings and elegant finishes set the tone across expansive living and dining areas, while the updated kitchen opens seamlessly for easy entertaining. The layout is designed for flexibility: a first-floor ensuite suits guests or in-law living, four second-floor bedrooms include two ensuites, and the third floor offers a sixth bedroom or office. Outdoors, estate-like, fenced grounds frame a sport court and a stone terrace arranged for lingering evenings, complete with a spa-style hot tub and fire pit. Practical comforts are well considered, from the screened porch and tiled mudroom to a reimagined two-car garage gym, half bath, and finished basement—spaces that support both everyday rhythm and weekend gatherings.

Down a long driveway framed by stately stone pillars, Roughwood Farm unfolds across 4.77 acres of rolling lawns, stonewalls, and mature gardens.

An elegant chef’s kitchen anchors the main level, complemented by living and dining spaces that balance ease with polish. An open staircase leads to the second floor, where 3+ bedrooms include a primary suite with dual walk-in closets and an ensuite, spa-style bath, alongside an office and a second full bath. For equestrian pursuits, a 6+ stall horse barn includes a tack room, hay barn, and in/out paddocks. Practical additions—tractor barn, generator, irrigation, central air, and a 2-car garage—support daily life in Hamilton’s heart of horse country.

On a residential street in Providence’s desirable Upper Elmgrove neighborhood, this rare new construction custom home by Annese Construction is set for late summer 2026 occupancy.

A combined laundry and mudroom connects neatly to the integral two-car garage. In the great room, 16-foot ceilings and a gas fireplace create an airy focal point, with doors leading to a rear garden, stone patio, and mature plantings. The first-floor primary suite adds vaulted ceilings, a spa-like bath, and a large walk-in closet, while upstairs bedroom suites and a bonus room flex for media or fitness.

On Forrest Avenue in Nantucket, this unique offering pairs everyday practicality with a surprisingly comfortable living space.

Above, a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment is arranged with a well-designed layout that supports easy daily living. A full basement adds generous storage and brings the potential for future finish-out—whether envisioned as additional living area, office space, or a recreation room. With ample room for winter vehicle storage and a flexible footprint that adapts over time, it’s a place designed to simplify the seasons and make Nantucket life run a little smoother.

Upstairs, the primary suite is arranged for comfort with His & Hers walk-in closets. Two additional bedrooms share a bath, and another bedroom features its own private en-suite. Above the garage, a large bonus rec room offers ideal playroom potential.
