About this property

Charming Antique in Wellfleet Center-- walk to shops, beach!

This lovely in-town historic 1830 Cape-- a bookstore in a former life-- is located adjacent to shops and restaurants of Wellfleet, and less than a mile to Harbor and Bay beaches.

The house has been thoroughly renovated, while respecting it's funky, antique spirit. The home is also winterized, and very cozy in all seasons.

Wellfleet treats: stunning ocean and bay beaches, access to the 25-mile-long, paved "Cape Cod Rail Trail" (dedicated to biking), beautiful woodsy hikes, sailing, kayaking, & swimming in a collection of clearwater kettle ponds left behind by Ice Age glaciers.

You will love parking the car and strolling everywhere-- the grocery store, produce stand & fish market, a weekly farmer's market, the library, an ice cream parlor, and all the shops and galleries of Wellfleet's town center.

A formal front entryway leads to a huge, sunny double living room, featuring a wood-burning stove, an old hi-fi with many classical and world music albums, and a smart TV. The living room leads to a semi-open formal dining room beyond, which in turn opens to the renovated kitchen-- fully equipped for serious cooks. Off the dining room is a shady screened porch, added in 2024.

Both the kitchen and formal dining room have doors leading out to a gorgeous wrap-around deck, partly screened, and a secluded sunny garden full of flowers, herbs, and vegetables. An outdoor shower & clawfoot tub are great for post-beach rinsing! Enjoy picking fresh herbs and greens for dinner. Propane grill and charcoal grill provided.

Also on the first floor, there is a twin bedroom with full bath (shower) and a stackable washer/dryer in the closet.

The second floor has one CA King and one Queen bedroom. The primary BR overlooks the nature preserve across the street, and the Queen BR overlooks the rear garden. Off the shared landing is a second full bathroom with tub.

On the third floor is a large attic bedroom with a Queen bed and its own smart TV-- great for kids.

Note: the stairs here are *very* steep-- and nearly ladder-like between second and third floors.

Both the living room and third floor bedroom have smart TV's. Bring your Hulu or Amazon (or other) account. Free internet access provided. Parking for 3 cars. Maximum of 6 guests please.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Collector

Host profile image
I live in Santa Barbara where I work in real estate, write, and advocate for foster youth. I have three grown kids (one of whom built my new deck!).

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Wellfleet in 1980 when one of my college friends brought me home there for the weekend. I loved how casual yet elegant it was, the Edward Hopper light, the intellectualism of the town. Since my friends' home was an in-town antique, I have always wanted an in-town antique, and when this one came along with "Books" over the front door, I knew it was for me.

What makes this property unique

Sunny, charming, private, happy, and quirky! Serene spot with dedicated open space across the street. Lovely herb and flower garden. Nice new "L" shaped rear/side deck for lounging. Right in Wellfleet Center. Ground floor BR/BA for accessibility.
