Own a piece of the City of Sandwich's history. This 1857 Federal style brick home was built by Almon Gage. The founder of the City of Sandwich. Presently being used as "Two Sisters Then and Now" . A shop filled with antiques and homemade items. A grand old home with large rooms, tall ceilings, plaster crown moldings, original trim, doors and floors. As well as the gorgeous old stairway leading to the large 2nd floor. You could keep it as a shop space. But with the bathrooms and kitchenette this is your chance to convert it back to your family's home. And make it the showplace of your own to make memories in this 165 year old jewel. From the large welcoming front porch you will enter the foyer leading to several large rooms on the main floor. It presents itself with so many options for the main floor layout. Big Living room, parlor, huge kitchen, walk in pantry, family room, library. So many choices. On the second floor there are 4 good sized bedrooms. The half bath, has plenty of room to make in into a full bath again. And we even have a walk up attic that could be your studio, kids playroom, or just more storage. For a home of this age it has an excellent basement with a second exterior entrance. Located on a double lot with a 2 car garage which was also set up as shops. But just put the garage door back in and your are ready to go. Roof in 2014, hot water heat approx. 12 years ago. A very special home and a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a grand and interesting home. So cool!!
