Not xa0an ordinary Cape Cod property, everything about 502 Harwich Road is extra ordinary--custom built by an artist. An inspired blend of French country and NYC loft lifing, this three bedroom, landscaped Brewster home (or vacation home) rests on 1.4 acres, part of which abuts protected conservation land. An ancient stone wall marks the property's south bound. Consider the uncommon 2300square foot house, secluded among wisteria, dogwood, cherry tress, boxwood, euonymus. Seasonal gardens are visible everywhere through south-facing Anderson double-glazed windows and doors. From the south stone and wood exterior patio, and sheltered outdoor shower among the climbing roses, one steps inside the home on to an interior sun deck (six steps above the living area). This deck lines the wouth and west sides of the large open floor plan. The L-shaped common room features a 'passive solar' slate floor-cools in summer, heat holding in winter--as well as custom book shelves, craftsman banisters, twenty-foot ceilings. A back-up wood stove feeds into a custom stone chimney. The modern galley kitchen with coffee bar extension has a suberb gas stove/convection oven, dishwasher and unique storage options. Clerestory north and east windows bring inside the perennial gardens, which surround the home. Six steps lead up to the ('ground level') adjoing den and full bath, separated by antique interior French doors. This room has its own south facing French door entrance, pine floors and built-ins. A spiral staircas leads to the second (actually, the third!)floor, where there are three bedrooms, one a stunning master suite, and a full bath. This light filled floor features more south facing floor to ceiling windows. The house has three separate natural gas heat zones, Title V septic and natural red cedar roof--at perfect pitch! An attached south-facing artist studio (or workshop), with two north sky lights has its own (the fourth) head zone and might easily be converted or expanded. Considere, now, the free-standing post and beam gallery with rear deck at the east end of the 200-foot gravel driveway, off Harwich Road. This is the ideal location for a home occupation--zoning permits such. Or, the gallery can be converted into a separate living/income property. The very best part os this unusual property is its location: walking distance to Cape Cod Bay, the famous Brewster General Store, historic Route 6A, three fresh water ponds, the Cape Cod Bike Trail, and within 2 miles of seveal golf courses. Additionally, #502's driveway is 3.2 miles from the Mid Cape Highway, 1 1/2 hours from Boston, 1 hour from New Bedford/Fall River, 1 hour 45 minutes from Providence and 5 hours from NYC. Here is truly the best of both worlds!xa0
