About 227 King Street

A completely refinished Cape Cod in exceptional condition. Hand hewn ceiling post and beam and century aged Hemlock wide plank floorboards fill the spaces throughout the home. A central beach stone electric fireplace is the focal point as you walk into the open concept main floor living room. Finished cabinetry, with black granite countertops and new appliances adorn the kitchen. Gestures to the sailing community with an original antique ships wheel and boating door with porthole window add to the charm. The spacious second floor has two generous bedrooms and a central four piece bathroom. Three dormers provide lots of light with southern exposure. Not only does the section of King street come to an end a few feet further, but that is where the rails to trails begin. A great route for running, walking and biking. A brand new pressure treated five hundred square foot south facing wrap around deck is essential to appreciate your two fifths of an acre of landscaped grounds. It is an arborists’ dream with various blooming trees and perennial gardens. A fenced in section for a dog run is also here for pet enthusiasts. Energy efficiency is the message with three heat pumps enabling cost saving with your heating utility bills. The real surprise is a 1850’s reconstructed schoolhouse. Hand hewn post and beam construction with wood burning stove set in a stone hearth. A gorgeous additional space for the hobbyist, writer, musician or bunk house for your teenager! If that hasn’t hooked you, a cherry red Mercedes 1984 380 SL convertible is also negotiable in the sale.
