You don’t see many of these! This is a Royal Barry Willis designed Cape Cod. Royal Barry Willis was an outstanding award-winning architect from Boston. In a well-publicized competition, a client chose a Royal Barry Willis Cape Cod over a competing contemporary design submitted by Frank Lloyd Wright. Mr. Willis was well known for his designs and attention to proportion. This house features his trademark oversize center chimney and was built in 1938, balancing New England practicality with touches of elegance. Built-in bookcases in the living room and built-in hutches in the dining room are features of this inviting floorplan. A terrace, accessed through French doors, runs along the back of the house and is a very comfortable spot to relax under the awning or to enjoy alfresco dining while looking out at the professionally designed English garden. The large yard includes open areas, mature trees and a secluded shed for tools and potting. The one-car garage is accessed via an open porch conveniently connecting to the kitchen door. The kitchen has a great layout and features hardwood floors, shiplap ceilings, tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The first floor includes the primary bedroom, a large walk-in closet and a recently remodeled oversized shower bath with sliding clear glass doors. The second floor has two more bedrooms and another bath. And we can’t forget how close you are to the beaches!
