A mid-19th-century Greek Revival, believed to be the birthplace of Captain William Bradford Parker and later home to Samuel Hallett — both tied to Osterville’s historic maritime corridor along Main Street. The property reflects the success of maritime captains – there’s a reason Osterville was once described as ”a place where retired sea captains can live like gentlemen.” You feel that here. The primary bedroom has been expanded to include a quiet alcove with a gas stove — an easy place to settle in on cooler days. The yard comes alive in season with mature plantings and a sense that it’s been thoughtfully cared for. And it has — by the same owners since 1989. A short walk to quaint Osterville village, and a short drive to Dowses Beach and Joshua Pond for summer fun. Newer windows, original wide pine floors, two gas fireplaces, updated electrical, and a new gas heating system are already in place. A home with history worth inheriting and all the charm of a not forgotten era of gracious living. This one needs to be seen.
