Singularly spectacular Cape compound in Eastham. This three building property on an entirely private, beautifully planted acre is a mere .2 miles to renowned campground beach but feels like a kingdom unto itself. Enter the tree-lined drive and be greeted by Mockingbird, the circa 1900 antique cottage rife with period detail. Immerse yourself in the nostalgia of bygone summers on the sunny vintage porch with glider windows. Cook breakfast for the extended family in the spacious, charming kitchen. The great room is large in size yet intimate in character, every room offers details and features that will transport you in time. Enjoy its rustic charm in its present fine condition or plan an upgrade and make it the centerpiece of the estate. Traverse the captivating grounds adorned with lilac, privet, cedar and the hundred evergreens that ring the property to discover Chickadee, a two story, 1br-1ba cottage designed by noted Boston architect John W. Priestley. Built in 2001 by the current owner to an extraordinary standard of quality and finish, it is a secluded refuge, superb in function, rich in aesthetic. Appointed in brick, cedar and pine, the living and sleeping space are beautiful, substantial and inviting. Details abound, from the extraordinary finish carpentry and hand-built cabinetry to the antique light fixtures. The cathedral bedroom occupies the entire second floor and is bathed in natural light.
The heated 2002 Boat Barn is the Boardwalk and Park Place of outbuildings. Any serious boater or car collector will marvel at the space, utility and condition of this unique structure. Also a Priestley design and (like Chickadee and Mockingbird) constructed without drywall or plywood, it offers tremendous work space for the hobbyist plus an office, a loft and a second floor bedroom beneath the lighted cupola.
Desirous of a pool? There are multiple suitable locations. Got family? Your children and grandchildren will never tire of the enormous, level yard. Dogs? The entire acre is enveloped by invisible fence.
This property is unique in its form, function and setting, all of which is just around the corner from some of the best swimming and sunsets on the East Coast.
Amazing.
