Recorded by Richard Hazelhurst, the January 1980 writeup from the Yarmouth Historic Survey describes the house at 405 Route 6a in Yarmouth Port thusly: “The house has stayed in the same family 200 years, it’s in good shape. It stands sturdy, ready for what ever might come its way.”
We will’t consider a extra romantic introduction to this licensed charmer, a stunning illustration of the half-Cape type. Clad in cedar shingles and lovingly restored, the house is, certainly, prepared for its subsequent stewards. Boasting three beds and three baths in its neat 1,637 square-foot package deal, the house’s revamp stored a lot of its unique particulars. Amongst them: unique door hinges, latches, and knobs, pine ground boards as much as 24” extensive in some elements of the residence, and the Federal-style sidelites with transom window.
As one of many few remaining houses alongside the historic Previous King’s Freeway in Yarmouth Port, the historic attraction and site is simple. So are the uncovered ceiling beams and the vaulted ceiling within the upstairs major bed room. Upping the allure issue, a set of fireplaces and simply over half an acre lot for gardening — so get to dreaming about your prize hydrangeas.
A separate shed with electrical energy makes for a darling workshop or studio area, and a one-car storage comes with a workshop area.
The sale of the house, available on the market for $895,000, is represented by Danielle Hayward with the Marchildon Hagopian Group at Kinlin Grover Compass, 508-579-6605.
