Description

Storybook setting for this incredible 1730s Georgian Cape and separate Carriage House (2 beds, 1 full bath) with potential income producing units. A labor of love for its current owner, this home and its grounds have been carefully designed and restored to combine 18th century charm with the amenities of today. Extensive restoration has been done inside and outside the home. This property has been profiled in Cape Cod Life Magazine. Unique property with many opportunities for use and income. Low maintenance landscaping that retains its beauty in all seasons. Judge Peter Thacher built the original house as a wedding gift for his daughter, Thankful, and her husband John Hallet. The kitchen space is an early Post Office that was moved to the site circa 1800 from Nantucket, and the home stayed in the family for about 170 years.The property was then home to a Tea Room that was frequented by several performers from the Cape Playhouse, who then went on to become Hollywood icons, such as Bette Davis and Jimmy Stewart. Next the home became an Antique shop and then it was purchased by its current owner (2000) who is a home and garden designer. Ref: 36774-102767940
