Imagine a time before antique homes were ''rehabilitated'' or ''renovated.'' Imagine discovering an untouched jewel, sparkling quietly in Provincetown's coveted east end Commercial Street neighborhood of Captain's homes, boathouses, beach cottages and sandy lanes. There is still one of those hard to find gems remaining, an untouched sprawling home, once several residences in one, on a large parcel of land with a private, enclosed rear garden, home to a two storey Carriage House and a broad front yard, with the expanded antique Cape set comfortably back from Commercial Street with a view to the bay. The main house offers 11 rooms, period correct with pantry, closets, nooks, crannies, double doors, wood flooring, original staircases and details at every turn, a surprise of antiquity with every glance paid. The bonus Carriage House in the back garden is ripe for conversion to a spacious artist's studio, home office, writing studio or gracious guest quarters. You won't be disappointed if you are a connoisseur of old Cape Cod style and New England architecture. Secure this untouched masterpiece today to preserve it for generations to come. You'll be proud to call this legacy property home and you'll be the envy of your neighbors and a respected contributor to the very limited inventory of preserved antique Provincetown historic homes.
