PROVINCETOWN — Pilgrim Monument is practically right in the front yard of this ideally located home, which has been well-maintained and recently upgraded, with newer windows and other updates.
You step into a whitewashed foyer, and you look into the living room and see sturdy hardwood floors and a lovely gas fireplace. All the rooms are off the living room. To the left is a sitting area that leads into the first-floor master bedroom, which features not one but two walk-in closets. On the other side of the living room there’s a tiny whitewashed space, converted from the former main entrance, which is perfect for a small office. The dining room features an elegant arched entryway and a built-in hutch. The entire layout is perfect — it’s open, it’s spacious with high ceilings, and it just feels good. “The house lives big for its square footage,” Realtor Mike Minore said.
From the dining room, you step into the galley kitchen, and are wowed by white beadboard, stainless steel appliances and contemporary track lighting, all of which make this kitchen gleam. The house just seems to keep going as you walk through the kitchen and into a not-even-that-small white paneled sun porch that opens out to the backyard.
That’s right, this centrally located Provincetown home even features a backyard, fenced in for that matter, and it’s actually quite private.
Back inside, the upstairs has two spacious bedrooms, both with hardwood floors and lots of light, and pipe radiators in each room are a testament to the past. The shared bathroom has been recently updated.
Sitting proudly on a corner lot, this home exhibits various Tudor Revival cottage elements, such as a steeply pitched roof and a large, chunky chimney. But that’s not all that makes the architecture special, this home is a kit house from the Sears Catalog, among those sold and distributed between 1908 and 1940 in a variety of styles.
In addition to offering up certain slices of nostalgia, this fantastic Provincetown home is also move-in ready.
