Offering wonderful possibilities, this property is perfect to enjoy just as it is today, with the added potential for future expansion. Featured in American Home magazine, the home was described by its original owners, Dr. and Mrs. Baxter Sapp, as "one that's easy to love," highlighting its Colonial charm, intimate scale, privacy, and livability. The article also praised builder John C. Williams' meticulous attention to detail and proportion, noting that his craftsmanship "has brought distinction to what might have been a run-of-the-mill Cape Cod."

The adjoining pantry and bar area offer a wonderful combination of style and functionality, while the beautifully updated primary and secondary bathrooms showcase exquisite, premium tile selections.
