Listing broker remarks

The Aldrich House returns to Red Brook Harbor. Built in 1890 as a seaside retreat for Boston travelers arriving by train, the Cataumet landmark was fully restored in 2022 with all-new systems, whole-house generator, and an 18-bedroom Title V septic, the kind of permit Cape towns no longer issue. Across three stories, more than 7,000 SF of refined interior: an open great room with floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a chef's kitchen, original hardwood restored throughout, and wraparound porches that hold the harbor view. 10 en-suite bedrooms, each with private sitting room, kitchenette, independent climate control, and a balcony for Buzzards Bay sunsets. Outside, 1.84 manicured acres with in-ground pool, gazebo, and firepit. The home includes 3X Commercial Speed Queen dashers and dryers, and more. Family compound, private retreat, or boutique hospitality. Minutes from sandy beaches, Red Brook walking trails, the National Seashore, and the Islands ferries; and only 80 minutes from Boston.— Serhant
