Steps from Downtown Orleans and a mile from Rock Harbor, up a sweeping drive sits this private farmhouse that has gone through a careful, curated, renovation preserving its rich architectural past while updating & enhancing its practical use. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is the well crafted marriage of a 1790's cottage moved from Fort Hill in Eastham, with a ''new'' 1850's structure in Orleans. The recent down-to-the- studs renovation cleverly references that union while creating a flow perfectly suited to modern living, hallmarked by a true cook's dine-in kitchen with bluestone counters and sliders that open to a new deck with broad western views. The generous living room is warmed by a propane fireplace and faces an evergreen hedged back yard with maximum privacy. Exposed, hand-hewn beams, refinished wood flooring, king boards in parts, original doors, exposed lathe, original plaster, some original hardware are all complimented and offset by new, state of the art systems: electrical, plumbing, 4 zone heating, cooling, radiant heat and sound proofing insulation and roofing. The structural integrity has been fortified; storage, skylights, recessed lighting and modern fixtures have been added. The fire pit, constructed from the reclaimed material of two old chimneys, sits adjacent to the chicken coop and the 2 car garage, currently being used as an artist's studio. The two structure nature of the property plus its residential/commercial zoning provide appealing options for your use and enjoyment.This property, conveniently located, artfully sited and superbly renovated must be seen to be appreciated.
