Picture having a backyard that blends into a sunny marsh, with river views, and tall green reeds swaying in a late-afternoon breeze. You store your paddleboard and enter Swan Cottage, a lovely property in Sandwich Village on the banks of Mill Creek.
The small but surprisingly spacious property covers nearly 1,250 square feet inside and a third-acre of picturesque land. The home has an interesting history, including being a one-room schoolhouse in 1830 and a dress shop in the 1930s. It was extensively renovated in 2019 to become a vacation property that’s perfect for your Cape Cod adventures or as a rental property for vacationers.
A spacious layout combines the eat-in kitchen with a breakfast bar, a roomy dining area, and a cozy living room. Glass sliders open to the new deck and patio for easy outdoor living and entertaining. The kitchen is well-equipped with soapstone counters, stainless steel appliances, and ample storage. The first floor has a bedroom and a den. Upstairs, the main bedroom is a bright retreat with an en-suite bath and french doors to a balcony overlooking the marshland.
From the property, you can canoe, kayak, or paddle to locations such as the Sandwich Boardwalk or Cape Cod Bay. Dining, shopping, and amenities in Sandwich are also nearby.
The property, which is listed for $695,000, is being sold by Cindy Lee Caldwell of Sotheby’s International Realty – Cape Cod, Falmouth Brokerage, at 508-737-5670.
