Listing broker remarks

Just moments from the quaint village of Yarmouth Port and beloved Gray’s Beach sits this timeless Circa 1850 Greek Revival home . Over time, it has been more than just a residence; it has been a place of gathering, of seasons changing, of stories unfolding within its walls. Set on approximately .82 acres, the residence offers over 4,000 square feet across three levels; host to 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, home office and a first floor primary. The six fireplaces, original clawfoot tubs, and beautifully preserved woodwork remain a part of the architectural soul of the home. Lovingly maintained and improved by the current stewards over the past 15 years, the home reflects a deep respect for its heritage while offering modern comforts. A large, character-rich barn stands as a nod to the property’s origins, while the gracious wrap-around porch invites relaxed coastal living. A rare opportunity to become a part of the story in one of Cape Cod's most cherished settings.— Engel & Volkers, South Shore
