3 River St
Description
Completely...Set in the heart of Sandwich Village, this extraordinary historic property--once the ''Cobb Schoolhouse'' (circa 1852) and listed on the National Register--offers a rare blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and natural beauty. Perched on a gentle knoll, the home overlooks a sweeping lawn that leads to the sparkling waters of Mill Creek, winding from Shawme Pond to Cape Cod Bay. The landscape is alive with wildlife, including the annual herring run, creating a truly serene and picturesque setting.
Completely renovated in 2023, the home features a stunning addition by Rick Anderson Builders, thoughtfully designed in collaboration with the current owners. The result is a warm, distinctive living space filled with character and comfort. The sunlit living room showcases oversized ''schoolhouse'' windows, antique beamed ceilings, a paneled gas fireplace wall, and custom built-in shelving and entertainment center--details that bring both elegance and a touch of whimsy to every corner.
The kitchen has been fully updated with new plumbing, rich wood countertops, and durable 6'' x 48'' plank flooring, flowing seamlessly into the dining area with access to a rear deck overlooking the creek.
