    What's special

    Open kitchenSpacious entryTwo bedroomsBright and airy space
    There’s a specific kind of magic that happens when you live this close to the ocean. It’s the way the air smells a little saltier, the way the light hits the water at golden hour, and the sheer ease of having the beach and park right at the end of your block. Welcome to 188 Albatross Rd—a move-in-ready retreat that offers a front-row seat to the very best of the Quincy coast.Tucked away on a welcoming street, this home perfectly balances that "away from it all" feeling with the energy of a vibrant urban hub. Inside, you’ll find a bright and airy space designed for easy living. The layout features a spacious entry that leads into a comfortable living room and an open kitchen, creating a warm, connected atmosphere the moment you step through the door. With two bedrooms and a full bathroom across approximately 900 square feet, it is the perfect size for those seeking a manageable, standalone home without the shared walls of a condo.Outside, the backyard is a private oasis. Fully enclosed with crisp white vinyl fencing, it’s an easy-to-maintain space ideal for weekend BBQs or relaxing in the sun.While the shoreline is just moments away for morning coffee by the water, you’re also just minutes from the world-class culinary scene and shops in Quincy Center. Commuting is a breeze with quick access to the MBTA and major roadways, putting the heart of Boston within easy reach.To make this coastal dream even more attainable, the seller is offering a fantastic incentive: up to $5,000 in closing cost credits when using our preferred lender, Kathleen Caddell at Fairway Home Mortgage (NMLS ID #39620). This credit can help lower your initial investment, giving you more breathing room for moving costs or new furniture.Don’t just look at the asking price—consider the lifestyle and the opportunity. Come discover why life is simply better by the water.
