295 Samoset Rd, Eastham, MA 02642
About this home
Make History! Built in 1885 and offered for the first time in 50+ years, the Captain Eldad Higgins House is a wonderful example of Second Empire cottage-style architecture and a landmark property in Eastham Village's historic district. Steps to the Cape Cod Rail Trail, walk-to-town and the library, and a short pedal to Coast Guard Beach and First Encounter Beach on Cape Cod Bay, the property offers a wonderful canvas for the antique aficionado wishing to create a resplendently restored sea captain's home. A half-moon drive circles before a detached two-car garage and small cottage that once served as the town post office! The rear yard is expansive and wonderfully private, offering room for cookouts, summer games, and a pool! The property awaits its next steward who will appreciate its history, location, character and intrinsic beauty. (Sold ''as is'; septic system is noncompliant and design/installation will be responsibility of buyer.)
