This stunning Dutch Revival home, built in the late 1800s for the esteemed town physician Dr. J.C. David, rests on a spacious half-acre lot in the heart of Sandwich. Designed by renowned Swedish-American architect and contractor C.A. Swanson, this residence has been cherished by generations of loving families and is now available for the first time in five decades. Once celebrated in a vintage newspaper for its superior style, thoughtful layout, and cutting-edge amenities-such as electric lighting, indoor plumbing, and both hot and cold water-the home retains much of its original splendor. Brand new central air conditioning was just added for additional comfort. Gorgeous quarter-sawn red oak and white pine floors, recently refinished, reflect the craftsmanship of an era gone by. The reception room welcomes you with a grand oak staircase, adorned with intricate carvings, that ascends to stained glass windows of unparalleled beauty. The main floor features four elegant fireplaces and eight exquisite chandeliers, each adding charm and sophistication to the expansive rooms designed for seamless entertaining. For those seeking tranquility, the private den with built-in bookcases and a cozy corner fireplace offers the perfect retreat. A main-floor bedroom and full bath provide convenience, while the second floor boasts an additional 4-5 bedrooms, each full of potential. Opportunities abound with a large attic and basement, perfect for expanding your living space or fulfilling your creative vision. Outside, a spacious two-story 20x40 barn offers even more versatility, complete with an automatic garage door and loft space. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of historic Sandwich architecture-an enduring symbol of the town's rich heritage and timeless appeal. $2,500 lender credit available...ask your agent for details!
