At first look, 4 Harbor Road in Sandwich is neither glamorous or showy and whereas it packs great curb enchantment, it’s virtually demure in its neat symmetry and cedar shingle facade. Which makes excellent sense if you study extra concerning the dwelling’s historical past — a narrative woven into the historical past of Sandwich itself.
The oldest city on Cape Cod grew to become an necessary website for the manufacturing of glass in 1825, due to Boston glass magnate Deming Jarves, who based the Boston and Sandwich Glass Firm. Manufacturing facility employees have been housed in cottages constructed within the late 1820s and early 1830s and whereas Sandwich’s glass trade barely lasted 100 years, 4 Harbor Road stays as a fantastically preserved vintage replete with interval character.
Among the many restored particulars, we discover 4 fireplaces, mantles, and trim. Vital upgrades coexist with the classic touches all through, together with up to date baths and a storybook kitchen with a brick fireplace. Along with 4 bedrooms and two baths, the house sits on a quarter-acre with manicured gardens, patio, and a candy gazebo for lounging within the shade.
Open home hours are Sunday, Sept. 8, from midday to 2 p.m.
