About this home
What if home felt like your own private resort? Set on nearly 2 private acres in Swampscott's Olmsted Historic District, 90 Mountwood offers an extraordinary lifestyle rarely found this close to the coast and Boston. At the heart of the property is a spectacular year-round pool house featuring a heated saltwater pool, gym, sauna, billiard/game room, kitchen, pizza oven, fireplace and walls of glass opening to the grounds. Outside, a basketball/tennis/pickleball court, outdoor kitchen, patios and beautifully landscaped grounds create endless opportunities to entertain, unwind or stay active without ever leaving home. The expansive main residence offers a chef's kitchen, dramatic living and gathering spaces, multiple fireplaces, luxurious bedroom suites and a finished lower level providing exceptional flexibility for guests, recreation, work or extended living. A 3-car garage completes this remarkable property. More than a home, this is a private recreation, wellness and entertainment retreat just minutes from Swampscott's beaches, restaurants and commuter rail.
Frederick Law Olmstead Historic District, located between Humphrey Street and the Atlantic shoreline, is a historic and residential Swampscott neighborhood with curving, park-like streetscapes and shingle-style architecture. The district reads like a designed landscape, with stone walls, mature trees, and generous setbacks shaping a calm coastal rhythm. Character concentrates around the Humphrey Street corridor near Phillips Beach, where coffee stops, small eateries, and seaside foot traffic set the daily tempo. Community touchstones include the historic Hadley School, the Swampscott Public Library, and the Little Theatre of Swampscott for local performances. Side streets lead to pocket greens and ocean views, while beach paths and sidewalks support a walk-and-roll lifestyle. The atmosphere feels curated and coastal, with Olmsted-era planning still visible in every bend of the road.
