Life in Quincy’s Squantum enclave feels like a well-kept secret. It’s an easygoing waterfront community where salty breezes carry through the trees and the skyline of Boston twinkles just across the bay.
With fewer than 2,500 residents and just a single causeway connecting it to the mainland, Squantum has the feel of a private island while offering all the conveniences of city living.
At 87 Dorchester Street, that laid-back luxury comes into full view. This custom-built, corner-lot home captures the essence of coastal elegance with panoramic water views and a smart, sun-drenched layout designed for comfort and entertaining.
The heart of the home is a dramatic great room with vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and an entire wall of glass doors that open to a sweeping deck overlooking the harbor — from Marina Bay to downtown Boston.
Whether you’re serving guests at the sleek wet bar or curl up with a book in the cozy built-in “snug,” the space strikes a perfect balance between grand and intimate. The chef’s kitchen is both functional and refined, with top-tier appliances, custom cabinetry, and a spacious walk-in pantry. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a spa-like bath and a private porch for your morning coffee or evening unwind.
With three bedrooms — each with its own bath — plus a sun-filled home office, this 3,140-square-foot home offers thoughtful details throughout. And outside your door, Squantum’s parks, beaches, and walking trails invite you to swim, fish, bike, or simply enjoy the view.
Open house hours are Sunday, June 1, from noon to 2 p.m.
The sale of the home, on the market for $2,299,000, is represented by Jamie Iacoi with Great Spaces ERA, 508-572-7642.
