Owner info
Year Purchased: 1986
About the owner: We are a married couple living in the adjacent main house built in 1680. Ginny is a fiction writer who had a long career in publishing. She also had her own cafe and catering business specializing in Italian food. Gary retired five years ago from 36 years in education, most recently as the Director of Special Education at the local regional high school. He has been doing sculpting for 17 years and has received awards for his work. Recently, he had two pieces at the South Shore Art Association in Cohasset and was named "Artist of the Month" at the Chatham Orpheum Theatre. Ginny and Gary lived in Italy south of Florence for a year and have been back many times since. They enjoy going to other countries and experiencing different cultures. They would like to share Cape Cod with others, particularly those who appreciate art, good food, good wine, and living life to its fullest. They share their house with their dog, Grigio, a friendly and playful Weimaraner who also welcomes guests.
Why the Owner Chose West Dennis, Dennis, MA, USA:
The carriage house is a Greek Revival style building which was previously attached to the main house. In the 1930's, the previous owners gave their land to the town for a new school and when both buildings were moved a few blocks down the street, the main house and carriage house were separated and currently are situated close together. Our property is located right in the heart of Cape Cod.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
Cape Cod is a very special place, known around the world. Surrounded by water on three sides, it has its own micro climate. Being cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter affords it beautiful weather. 'The Cape' has beaches on the ocean side, Nantucket Sound side and Cape Cod Bay side, cranberry bogs, paths through the woods, sand dunes and charming towns and villages. Cape Cod provides great restaurants with local seafood, biking, fishing, shopping, night life, and fun things for the kids as well. South Dennis is only a little over an hour away from airports in Boston or Providence, Rhode Island.
