A 1714 antique cape with enduring charm affords a clear opportunity for preservation, stewardship & restoration. A bespoke eat-in country kitchen complete with slate sink, original brick cooking hearth with bread oven, wide plank wood floors and a walk-in pantry with farmhouse sink merges history with modern appliances.The home currently lives comfortably as a single level with 2 first floor bedrooms, 2 full baths, sunlit living room and year round sunroom.

A private seasonal aluminum dock system complete with pier, ramp, and float, provides tidal access for boating, kayaking, and paddle boarding to York Harbor and the open ocean beyond. Properties of this scale, setting, and waterfront presence are increasingly rare, particularly when paired with the history and character of an early New England homestead.
