Description

''I'd rather build a real house, one to stay'' - Gladys Taber's April Song
Built with a soul in 1977 and thoughtfully expanded in 1992 by architect Legere Cuyler, this home is the profile of what a Cape house was meant to be. Comfortable but not fussy, sensible and quirky, it begs its occupants to put their feet up and contemplate their weekend plans.

Built with a soul in 1977 and thoughtfully expanded in 1992 by architect Legere Cuyler, this home is the profile of what a Cape house was meant to be. Comfortable but not fussy, sensible and quirky, it begs its occupants to put their feet up and contemplate their weekend plans. The primary suite includes a library nook with a window seat plus its own porch on the wooded edge of the lot, so its occupant has a chance make the journey from outdoor shower back to the bedroom undetected. On the topic of porches, off the dining area through French doors is a screen room which, in season, grows the living area by over 200 square feet. The whole house is tucked in by forest which gives it a comfortable privacy. For times when solitude is called for, the detached office shed with full electric service is your solution. But when you do decide to venture out into the world, you're already on the north side of historic Old Kings Highway, so a trip into the village or to a Cape Cod Bay beach are all less than a one mile journey.
