What's special

Magnificent backyardGenerous parkingFive bedroomsSpacious attic

Built in the mid-1800s and lovingly stewarded by the Cook family since 1945, this rare two-family home in Provincetown's sought-after West End is steeped in local history. Tucked away from the street's line of sight on all sides, it offers a rare combination of privacy and neighborhood rooftop views. Perched on a 6,000 sq ft lot, the home features two apartments, five bedrooms, and a spacious attic, with bay views from the second-floor unit and deck. The positioning of the house along one side of the lot allows for generous parking and a magnificent backyard full of possibilities. Moments away from everything the town has to offer. Property being sold as is.
