Upstairs, you'll find four additional bedrooms, including two expansive suites with cozy sitting areas, plus a full bath. A walk-up attic offers excellent storage or the potential for additional living space.

A newer, oversized garage provides ample space for cars, toys, and storage. With its original hardwood floors, beveled glass windows, and timeless architectural details, this home is a rare find - blending historic charm with everyday livability. Conveniently located near schools and within walking distance to downtown Sandwich, this classic beauty is truly one of a kind.
