Modernized 3 bedroom; 2 ½ bath historic Full Cape Cod Home. This 1779 house was completely and thoughtfully restored in 2022 by owners, in collaboration with designers Hein + Cozzi, to honor and feature its historic elements, while incorporating all the modern conveniences desired for year-round or seasonal indoor/outdoor living.
Steps from the Bay – and accessed by its own deeded walkway to the beach -- 522 is remarkably private and unique in that the house has 150 feet of front lawn and gardens and is set on a slight angle to the thoroughfare on Commercial Street’s Historic East End. An elevated boardwalk provides the entranceway to one of Provincetown’s largest front yards, with vibrant landscaping by landscape architect and designer Marissa Angell. New free-standing 100 sq foot storage shed caps the parking pad in style with two access doors giving exclusive space for refuse storage capping parking pad and another entrance for garden equipment, bicycles, holiday storage and the like. Includes fridge, lighting is great addition. Dynamic fire pit feature in rear garden lights up the night and makes back deck space special. Off the kitchen, an outdoor room with a built-in Caliber Grill by David Rockwell. The dining area seats up to 25 with welcoming landscaping.
The front yard is reimagined to reflect the dune-scapes of Cape Cod. 522 features an eco-friendly wonderland of native plants, fruit trees, birds, bumble bees and butterflies. One of the most innovative gardens in Provincetown, there is plenty of room private relaxation and entertaining.
Built in 1779, this historic home once housed British troops (who occupied it during the War of 1812 for eighteen months) and inspired artists including sculptor John Kearny and painter George Grosz, among others.
Original features include three working fireplaces, a Matrimonial Staircase to the second floor that intersects the upstairs floorplan and 18" wide plank finished pine floors throughout… all living under original exposed beams that astound and frame the home's interior in modern rustic history.
Home is not in flood zone.
