Sea Glass Farm 18th Century Classic Cape. Built in 1780, this well-crafted, rambling home is likely the oldest on the island. Light and bright, tastefully reimagined for modern convenience while preserving much original charm, . Exposed beam-work, 6/6 windows invite morning and afternoon light year-round.
Contemporary kitchen/family room living space for gathering, with lots of nooks and crannies to curl up with a good book. Bonus room for den or office.
Three generous bedrooms with a very large master suite featuring an ensuite bathroom on the second floor. Great deck on the back overlooking a beautiful back yard edged by woods, a field of wildflowers and apple trees and even a glimpse of the bay. Two-car garage with loft.
Centrally located on West Bay Road handy to town, beaches, recreation, and the ferry.
An attractive value anytime of the year for $455,000.
