Water Street Retreat - Sandwich, MA
AI-generated from guest reviews for this property
Historical home built in 1680 with modern convenience & original charm
Step back through time with a stay at this charming cedar shake home, first built in 1680 - yes, 1680. Guests can expect modern convenience in the full kitchen and updated bathroom, right alongside characterful details such as sloped hardwood floors, an old-style, “good morning” staircase, low ceilings, antique accents, and artwork painted by the owner herself adorning the walls.
In the kitchen, the chef will find stainless steel appliances perfectly complement the butcher block countertops and exposed beams, and the formal, sun-filled dining room offers the perfect spot for a home-cooked meal. Spend time together in the living room streaming the latest release on TV, playing a board game, or reading a good book courtesy of the on-hand library. Use the free WiFi and desk in the sunny study to complete any remote work or grab a quick catnap on the daybed. When it’s time to venture out, the home is a quick walk to central Sandwich shopping, dining, and amenities. Town Neck Beach is a little over a mile away, with other attractions like golf, nature reserves, museums, farm stands, and the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard an easy drive.
At the end of the day, you’ll find two charming bedrooms at the top of the stairs, each featuring painted and stenciled hardwood floors and a view of Shawme Lake from the window nook. Memories have been made in this delightful home since 1680 - it’s time to add yours to the bunch.
