A rare offering where New England charm meets modern luxury. Dating to 1835, this exceptional Cape has been thoughtfully renovated, preserving its architectural character while delivering comfort, technology, and craftsmanship. Beyond the visible finishes, extensive infrastructure has been upgraded, including electrical, plumbing, heating, septic and whole house Wi-Fi. A private courtyard introduces the main residence and an extraordinary chef’s kitchen appointed with an Italian granite island, prep sink, refrigerated drawers, Miele 6-burner range with griddle, dual-energy microwave/convection oven, Miele hood, and pot filler. The kitchen flows into the historic “keeping” room, creating a warm gathering space and continues to a sunlit living room with formal dining area. A screened porch and Bluestone patio extend the living space outdoors. The first-floor primary suite is a serene retreat featuring a fireplace, ensuite bath with soaking tub for two, double vanity and shower, private laundry, and a distinctive walk-in closet incorporating the original center chimney. Three additional bedrooms, each with ensuite bath, occupy the second floor. A three-story barn is connected to the main house and offers flexible living/entertaining spaces. Highlights include a family room with kitchenette, bath, laundry, sunroom overlooking stone walls and woods, bedroom, office, additional baths, and an open entertaining level with bar/buffet. Oversized barn doors open to the kitchen courtyard, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor setting for entertaining. The carriage house offers versatility and privacy, with its own driveway and entrance, full kitchen, living room, office, 1/2 bath, private deck and grill area, plus an upstairs bedroom, ¾ bath, and laundry. A property that honors its history while embracing the best of contemporary living. This is a truly distinctive New England residence designed for both intimate everyday living and grand-scale entertaining.
