Listing broker remarks

If you long for “Ol’ Cape Cod,” this charming farmhouse near the Bay will delight in every way! Cherished by the same family for generations, this rare gem is now available for the first time in 100 years! The expansive front-to-back living room features tall ceilings, original fir floors, large replacement windows, and a wood-burning fireplace. The vintage heat registers still work beautifully. The kitchen remains mostly original, offering an unspoiled canvas to restore or renovate as you wish. Also on the 1st floor, a combo laundry and bath plus a spacious bedroom. Upstairs, 4 bedrooms provide ample space for family and guests. The 3rd level attic is a huge open space with large windows just waiting to be finished! Set on nearly an acre, yet close to town with restaurants, shops, and the bike path all close by. Point of Rocks Beach is only a 1/2 mile away! A precious of Brewster history ready for its next chapter! See video! Buyers/agents to confirm all details.— Kinlin Grover Compass
