haven and enjoy the magnificent views and ocean breezes. There is no better way to begin or end the day. Thanks to easy access into Boston and cosmopolitan comforts, city dwellers are leaving Boston and making Brio their new home. The MBTA ferry terminal is just steps away, making it an easy and pleasurable commute. You can enjoy coffee, snacks and spirits on the ferry as you watch the sunrises and sunsets sparkle on the water. The commuter rail station is less than two miles down the road. Brio's buyers create a varied and lively demographic: young professionals, empty nesters, new couples and seasoned executives are all choosing to make Brio their home. "I'm so proud of its success," says TLC Real Estate President Charlene Flynn. "Brio" is Italian for enthusiasm and vibrancy, which describes to a T the team behind this project. Flynn manages Brio's marketing and sales, offering expert guidance to clients. AW Perry, the developer, has been serving the South Shore and Boston with attentiveness and integrity for 130 years. It partnered with Boston Andes Capital to bring Brio to life. Architecture and design companies ART Architects and bh+a planned the spectacular layout. The builder, Callahan, is known for its high-quality work and experience in luxury condominium projects. They all came together because of their passion for creating a beautiful living space and lifestyle that people love. Flynn is a lifelong Hingham resident. "I am a huge advocate of this town," she says. Hingham has so much to offer. In addition to its seaside location and easy commute to Boston, it has retained its authenticity and charm, all while keeping up with modern times. With seven historical districts and a picturesque downtown, Hingham has been called as "pretty as possible."* Flynn also has a special connection to the Hingham Shipyard, where her grandmother, Mary Connell, was a welder during World War II. Shortly before the United States entered into the war, a new shipyard was needed and Hingham was chosen as the location. Up to 23,000 workers toiled around the clock, and 2,700 of the workers were women. The workforce produced 227 ships in just 3 1/2 years. You can see Flynn's grandmother's photo in the historic walking museum that commemorates the Shipyard's years during the war. In addition to its beauty and rich history, the Shipyard offers all the contemporary conveniences anyone would need. Enjoy dining at premier restaurants and take in a movie at Patriot Cinemas. Shop for clothing, home items, jewelry and more. Stay fit at state of the art workout centers or indulge in a massage. There are three grocery stores, each less than a mile away: Stop & Shop, Trader Joe's and Fresh Market, an upscale shop whose offerings include local produce, prepared foods and wine. Whether you're running routine errands, treating yourself or meeting someone for a night out, it's all right outside your front door. The talented team behind Brio is redefining suburban condominium living. Residents don't have to give up a neighborhood feel or the conveniences of a single-family home. Dock your boat at your door, park in your own garage, safely store your treasured items and meet your friends in the back garden. The residences are outfitted with only the highest-quality fixtures and materials. "They are light, bright and luxurious," says Flynn. At Brio, your reality and your escape become one. Against a backdrop of blue, watch the ferries and sailboats head into Boston and then gracefully return to what is now your home. *thrillist.com, "The Coolest Suburbs in America's 35 Biggest Metro Areas". 18
