Live, Work, Thrive, and Grow in one of the Most Beautiful Settings on Cape Cod. Set on a spacious, private lot overlooking Wakeby Pond and neighboring cranberry bogs, this distinctive Sandwich home combines the character of a classic antique with nearly 3,000 square feet of remarkably flexible living and work space. Wide pine floors, rare King Pine walls, custom cabinetry, two gas fireplaces and rooms shaped by more than a century and a half give the house a warmth that newer construction simply cannot match.. The main living spaces are updated, comfortable and inviting, with four bedrooms and four baths providing plenty of room for everyday life, visiting friends and family, a home office, or whatever your needs are. A separate living or working studio adds another dimension to the property. Use this separate area for summer rentals, for a work-from-home professional, an artist, designer, writer, photographer, therapist, consultant, craftsman or other home-based business, it's easy to imagine a studio, office, or rental here without sacrificing the pleasures and privacy of home. Mature grounds, perennial gardens, fruit trees and vegetable beds create a sense of privacy, while sunset views stretch toward Wakeby Pond in one direction and sunrise illuminates working organic cranberry bogs in another. Close to beaches, recreation, restaurants and everyday conveniences of Sandwich, yet with a character and setting very much its own, this sought-after antique home offers a large private setting, modern updates, and a flexible living or work based unit. This is the perfect retreat for someone looking for more than bedrooms and bathrooms. It's a place to live, create, work, and make entirely your own. Imagine family holidays, morning coffee outside on the misty bog, entertaining friends, or retiring here. A combination of extraordinary features rarely found!

Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
