Listing broker remarks

East Orleans - Set on 2.3 private acres framed by classic stone walls and close proximity to the water with winter peeks, this rare multi-home compound offers exceptional charm and versatility. The main residence provides nearly 3,500 square feet of inviting single-level living, featuring 8 rooms, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an oversized 868-square-foot two-car garage—ideal for comfortable year-round living or extended family gatherings. The second residence, rich in history and character, offers 1,133 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. Originally built in 1812 by Joshua Crosby, who commanded a quarterdeck gun aboard the historic frigate USS Constitution, the home reflects the enduring heritage of old Cape Cod. A detached one-car barn adds further functionality and storage. The surrounding neighborhood exudes a timeless Cape Cod ambiance, with a beautiful Tonset Road landing just around the bend, perfect for enjoying coastal living.— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
