Steeped in history and gracefully restored, this exceptional Cataumet antique farmhouse has been thoughtfully enhanced over the years, blending timeless New England character with the comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind today’s homeowners appreciate. Set on 1.57 picturesque acres, the property has benefited from an extensive program of improvements designed to preserve its architectural integrity while modernizing its essential systems. Energy efficiency has been significantly improved through a comprehensive Mass Save insulation program, complemented by new windows, exterior doors, siding, updated electrical wiring, and two high-efficiency gas heating systems. The home’s inviting interior has been tastefully refreshed with a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring modern appliances, updated bathrooms, and refinished hardwood floors that celebrate the home’s original craftsmanship. A new outdoor shower enhances the quintessential Cape Cod lifestyle. Major capital improvements include a new roof on the main residence in 2024 and a new barn roof in 2025, ensuring years of worry-free ownership. The classic barn remains a remarkable asset, offering endless possibilities as a studio, workshop, carriage barn, or hobby farm. The grounds are equally captivating. Reimagined perennial gardens, cultivated without the use of chemicals during the current ownership, provide season-long color and natural beauty. A striking pink granite border gracefully frames both the home and barn, adding a distinctive sense of permanence and New England charm. An outdoor fireplace creates an inviting gathering space for evenings under the stars. While central air conditioning has not been installed, the home offers the opportunity for future installation. The original fireplaces, though not currently in operation, present an opportunity for restoration should a future owner wish to return them to service. This is a rare offering where the romance of an authentic antique home is matched by the confidence of extensive modern improvements--creating an extraordinary Cataumet property that is as functional as it is beautiful.
