What's special
Welcome to 1820 Post Road, a historic gem that flawlessly combines timeless elegance with modern functionality. This exceptional property presents a beautifully restored classic colonial residence, enhanced by the expert touch of a professional interior designer. Its residential/commercial zoning offers limitless possibilities for both residential living and entrepreneurial ventures with its 1,000 sq ft out-building.
Once owned by a sea captain and previously operating as an inn, this property boasts a rich history. The sun-filled porch leads to a freshly renovated kitchen, featuring the first of six central brick fireplaces that exude colonial warmth and charm. A convenient pass-through connects the kitchen to the cozy family room, offering delightful views of the tranquil fenced-in backyard. The formal dining room and living rooms are a host's delight, showcasing exquisite period wainscoting and trim that transport you to a bygone era. Nautical enthusiasts will appreciate the rope caulking that adorns the dining room floor, paying homage to the house's seafaring origins.
Adjacent to the kitchen, a pantry area leads to a full bathroom, complete with a stacked washer/dryer. Beyond the bath, a versatile room awaits, ideal for a home office or craft space, featuring its own outdoor entrance and deck. As you ascend the open 2-story front foyer, you'll explore the two inviting front bedrooms with walk-in closets and views of salt-marsh and ocean. The primary bedroom with its ensuite bathroom, features a double sink vanity. The other front bedroom shares a full bath with the rear bedroom. For added convenience, a back staircase provides easy access to the kitchen.
