You'll find this beautiful antique converted barn on one of Wellfleet's most scenic side roads, within walking distance of Main Street, Mayo Beach and Wellfleet Harbor. The home is a unique and historic delight, the perfect refuge from today's hurly-burly world.

"It's like stepping back into old Cape Cod," said listing agent Courtney Trautman of Gibson Sotheby's International Realty. "It has gorgeous rustic charm."

Priced at $749,000, the home features three bedrooms, one bathroom and 1,770 square feet of living space. Much of the interior is graced by barn wood, which lends great warmth and beauty to the house.

The dining and kitchen area is on the lower level of the home, with lovely exposed brick and splendid wood beams. You'll find a large living area on the main floor, as well as a fantastic family room with brick flooring and three walls of windows. The main floor also includes a full bathroom and a bedroom.

The top floor of the house, a three-season space, contains two bedrooms. The high ceilings and beautiful wood make the space feel like a summer cottage of yore, and it's a place that kids or guests will love.

Gracious outdoor living spaces surround the home, including a dining table under a trellis, an outdoor shower and a changing area. Beautiful perennial gardens add aesthetic delight and there is also a 360 square-foot outbuilding that has electricity. The space could be used for storage or as a workshop or studio.

The home's exquisite Wellfleet location offers serenity, convenience and walkability to town. The shops and restaurants of Wellfleet village are less than a mile from the house. The Wellfleet Harbor area, with more dining and art galleries opportunities, as well as access to Mayo Beach and the town tennis and pickleball courts, is about a mile from the home.

If you are seeking a true slice of old Cape Cod in one of the Cape's most scenic and sought-after towns, it may well be worth a trip to check out this fabulous transformed barn.
