Can’t you just imagine walking into this front hall? the diamond floors and vivid wall color – so sweet!
This seems like the quintessential TARDIS (*) house – it’s bigger on the inside. (*bonus points to those who get the reference)
Look at those floors!
This kitchen is in need of a major update – but it’s just got got much potential – love the push out window behind the sink.
I will say that the previous owners have a gorgeous collection of carpets and antiques.
Look at those views out back. This house is on the most adorable picturesque pond right in the heart of Sandwich. I’ve been by here a million times as my parent’s lived right around the corner for 30 years.
This looks like an antique poster bed from Leonard’s Furniture – they do a great job. Love the little floor level windows.
The backyard is just as special. This house really does have it all.

Completely enchanting! I’d move in in a Cape Cod minute!
The nice thing about Sandwich is that it has the essence of old Cape Cod, but also easy access to Boston. Unless you try to leave on a holiday in the summer – traffic, traffic!
ok, you can decorate it when i move in. omg. it is beyond fabulous. that backyard!!!
the only thing – the ceilings look so low, i wonder if you can open them but there is a second story? good thing ben is only 5/7
Yes, the ceilings are low (typical of the age of the house) and there is a 2nd floor. So, get used to watching your heads!
