This home is a 300 year old antique located in historic neighborhood. Walking distance to bakery, banks, cafes and walking parks... 1/2 hour drive to Cape Cod Canal, 50 minutes to Boston, 1 mile to commuter rail.******* My place is also a home for four very social cats. The scale of this house is so warm and historic! in decorating it I've worked to keep the historic quality as well as adding what I call bohemian chic elements.... red walls, modern paintings, bright materials, comfortable furniture. In the winter I have fires in the original beehive fireplaces and in the summer the shady backyard has a chiminea and retro butterfly chairs... so comfortable I sometimes fall asleep until the early morning hours. My entire house is open to my guests, there is a shared "california" bath between the upstairs bedrooms and a 1/2 bath down. There is a large sitting room with fireplace and chaise lounge, a formal dining room which is pleasant for morning coffee and a cheery eat in kitchen. In the summer I have two comfortable rattan chairs under my Japanese maple, which is surrounded by 10 foot hedges for privacy and two canvas deck chairs for sunbathing.... the backyard along with conversation patio has a hammock and lots of shade. I work in Boston three days a week, Tuesday thru Thursday... but I have long weekends when I am available to advise you or even drop you off at the commuter rail to Boston. I also manage a small theatre production company and we have spring, summer and fall shows that you are welcome to attend as my guest. Middleboro used to be a small rural farm town with lots of cranberry bogs.... the small farmers are mostly gone now and the town is more suburban. My home is in a historically registered neighborhood, immedialely off 495 which is the highway to the Cape and north to Boston. My home is the oldest being the original farm cape built by Silas Wood in 1711... most of the surrounding homes are turn of the century Edwardians & Victorians. I do have a parking space in front of my home for one additional (URL HIDDEN) off street parking and very safe. The commuter rail is a 1 mile walk, or quick bike ride or if I am available I would be happy to drop you off.... there is plenty of parking at the commuter rail if you have your own car. I do share my home with 4 cats, they are social but respect closed doors! from spring to fall they are mostly out doors but in winter they will sleep with you if you want. In the winter months, if you are my only guest, I can sleep in the "red room" to give you more privacy .... there are two doors on the shared bathroom and I have never had problems with privacy... one just knocks before opening the doors!
