About This Home

As of August 2023

Welcome to 1820 Post Road, a historic gem that flawlessly combines timeless elegance with modern functionality. This exceptional property presents a beautifully restored classic colonial residence, enhanced by the expert touch of a professional interior designer. Its residential/commercial zoning offers limitless possibilities for both residential living and entrepreneurial ventures with its 1,000 sq ft out-building.
Once owned by a sea captain and previously operating as an inn, this property boasts a rich history. The sun-filled porch leads to a freshly renovated kitchen, featuring the first of six central brick fireplaces that exude colonial warmth and charm. A convenient pass-through connects the kitchen to the cozy family room, offering delightful views of the tranquil fenced-in backyard. The formal dining room and living rooms are a host's delight, showcasing exquisite period wainscoting and trim that transport you to a bygone era. Nautical enthusiasts will appreciate the rope caulking that adorns the dining room floor, paying homage to the house's seafaring origins.
Adjacent to the kitchen, a pantry area leads to a full bathroom, complete with a stacked washer/dryer. Beyond the bath, a versatile room awaits, ideal for a home office or craft space, featuring its own outdoor entrance and deck. As you ascend the open 2-story front foyer, you'll explore the two inviting front bedrooms with walk-in closets and views of salt-marsh and ocean. The primary bedroom with its ensuite bathroom, features a double sink vanity. The other front bedroom shares a full bath with the rear bedroom. For added convenience, a back staircase provides easy access to the kitchen.
Whether you seek a charming residence or the perfect setting for entrepreneurial aspirations, an office, preschool, yoga studio, or more—your search ends here. Come and experience the timeless charm and boundless possibilities awaiting you at 1820 Post Road.
