This iconic Freeport Cape is on the market for the first time in over 35 years. A perfect blend of classic features and modern conveniences. Built in 1880, the main home includes a kitchen renovated in 2017 with new cabinetry, granite counters, a large island, and stainless appliances. Tin ceilings, a gorgeous built-in china cabinet, and a bay window are the focal points of the spacious dining room. The living room and den are sunny, inviting spaces with high ceilings and tall windows. Additional first-floor rooms include the office, mudroom, and laundry room. A gracious front staircase leads to 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a kitchenette- also accessed by a 2nd set of stairs, some of this flexible space may be dedicated to a guest suite. Three heat pumps, new in 2020, offer air conditioning and supplemental heat. A 2006 addition includes a 1 bed/1 bath accessory apartment that may be rented. Above the 2-car garage and apartment are a spacious office, workshop, and a large, open studio with a cathedral ceiling and a kitchenette; so many potential uses- home office, art studio, Air B&B (with Town permission/permitting), and more. The older section of the basement is well insulated and the newer daylight/walkout section is excellent for storage. The side porch with gingerbread detail was completely rebuilt and the rock wall was built in 2019. Two large decks with composite decking. Public water, sewer, and natural gas. Adjacent to Freeport's Leon Gorman Park and a stone's throw to Bow Street Market and all of Freeport's acclaimed shops and restaurants. Also convenient to Freeport's many outdoor recreation areas such as Wolfe's Neck Park and Mast Landing Audubon Sanctuary. Such a wonderful place to call home!
