Alluring history meets modern luxury in this enchanting in-town residence with all the coveted creature comforts.

First, consider the location. Directly on Main Street in the heart of Barnstable Village, it's a short walk to Barnstable Marina with its intriguing waterfront dining choices, whale watches, and charter fishing boats. Walk in the other direction to Main Street's dining, ice cream, unique shops, art fairs, and more. You'll become addicted to the Barnstable Market and Nirvana Coffee Company.

When the beach beckons, Millway Beach on beautiful Barnstable Harbor is just a half mile up the road.

Built in 1825, the home is large, beautiful, and well finished and furnished. Discover the stunning, fully equipped kitchen. Soak in the cheery light afforded by the vaulted ceiling with skylights and handsome transom windows. You'll love gathering here.

The creative window placements also showcase the adjacent dining area, complemented by a pair of highboy seats at the large kitchen island. Just beyond the kitchen and dining area, the open floor plan features an inviting lounge with curl-up-and-enjoy leather seating, a comforting gas fireplace, and a flat-screen smart TV.

The “front rooms” in the house include the slightly more formal dining room with another fireplace, which leads to the good-sized living room with plenty of lounge seating and another flat-screen smart TV.

There's one bedroom on the main level, with an adjacent full bath, the ideal solution for an older couple or single in your group with mobility issues, for whom stairs can be a challenge.

Anticipating that some guests may need to work remotely while in residence, the owner has thoughtfully provided two work stations, one on the main level and another upstairs.

The main level also has a half bath just off the formal dining room.

The second level features three additional private bedrooms: a primary bedroom with a king-size bed, a queen bedroom, and a bunk room. Additionally, there is a second sleeping area with a single twin bed and a pull-out trundle. The beautifully updated full bath on this level also contains a stackable washer and dryer.

One last set of stairs leads to the third level, where you'll find an enormous “Captain's Quarters” guest room with a comfy queen-size bed. The room is entirely custom, wood-paneled, with a striking coffered ceiling. The window up here provides an arresting elevated view of Main Street below.

The home is air-conditioned via strategically placed window units on the main level and a central system serving the two upper levels. The smart TVs are in a house with high-speed Wi-Fi.

This property offers a variety of elegant outdoor living options. The open deck features bench seating, a dining table, and chairs, perfect for enjoying meals al fresco while using the gas grill. For relaxation, there's a hot tub that provides an excellent way to unwind at the end of the day. Additionally, an enclosed outdoor shower is available to rinse off the sand and salt after a trip to the beach. Off the deck, you'll also find an attractive brick patio with a café table and chairs, offering another lovely spot to enjoy the carefully maintained fenced yard and gardens.

An additional feature: a freestanding barn with a home-theater projector and screen and a ping-pong table. Here you'll also find beach chairs, a cooler, and a wagon, which makes it practical to walk to the beach and leave your car at the house.
