Listing broker remarks

Nestled along the waterfront in the East End of Provincetown, this rare coastal retreat blends historic charm, privacy, and breathtaking harbor views. Behind a wisteria-draped gate, a beautifully landscaped garden leads to a classic antique home, a freestanding artist studio, and an additional accessory building, each positioned to capture sweeping views of the ocean and harbor. The main residence offers nearly 2,000 sq ft with two bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The first floor features a seamless living, dining, and kitchen area with large windows framing the water and filling the home with natural light. Upstairs, both bedrooms enjoy tranquil harbor vistas', detached studio provides a bright space for creative work, a home office, or guests, while multi-level decks extend toward the beach for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Just moments from galleries, dining, and the vibrant energy of Provincetown, this exceptional waterfront property offers a rare opportunity.— Coldwell Banker Realty - Boston
