There are some properties you simply can't recreate. Set on more than 1.3 acres along historic Old King's Highway, this four-bedroom antique is one of those increasingly scarce properties — a wonderfully interesting old Cape Cod home that has evolved over generations, its own magnificent two-story antique barn, and a long stretch of land leading quietly toward the shores of Scargo Lake. There is history here, but it doesn't feel precious or untouchable. It feels like a house that has been lived in and loved. Over the years, the family thoughtfully updated the home in stages, blending its wonderful old Cape Cod character with the way we live today.
