With the warmer weather upon us, this house in Hull’s Alphabet neighborhood is a perfect four for four: It’s near a pizza place, an ice cream shop, Nantasket Beach, and the public park at Memorial Middle School, which has baseball diamonds and tennis courts.

The sandy path cutting across the dunes to Nantasket Beach can be viewed from the wraparound porch and a front bedroom.

When you step inside the house, turn left into the large family room, one that easily fits a sectional and has two ceiling fans. The room is carpeted, but the flooring in the rest of the house is a Pergo laminate.

To the right of the front door, there’s a small entryway and then the living room, which draws light from a bank of windows.

Around a corner, the kitchen/dining area is an open layout with a table positioned near windows. The kitchen, which takes up most of the area, has faux-granite laminate counters, white cabinets, stainless-steel appliances, two pantry closets, a window seat with bench storage, and recessed lighting. A two-tier prep counter seats three.

The first floor has a full bath with an angled ceiling above the tub and a stacked washer and dryer; the set is being sold with the home.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is large enough for a California king and has a double closet and a ceiling fan. This level also holds two other bedrooms. All share a full bath.

The house, set on 0.10 acre, has a fenced-in yard with perennial gardens and an outdoor shower. The basement is unfinished, and the roof and heating, air-conditioning, plumbing, and electrical systems are new. Insulation has been added. The home requires flood insurance.

The listing agent, Corey Axelson of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Cohasset, will hold an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 12.
