Set in the heart of Sandwich Village, this extraordinary historic property--once the ''Cobb Schoolhouse'' (circa 1852) and listed on the National Register--offers a rare blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and natural beauty. Perched on a gentle knoll, the home overlooks a sweeping lawn that leads to the sparkling waters of Mill Creek, winding from Shawme Pond to Cape Cod Bay. The landscape is alive with wildlife, including the annual herring run, creating a truly serene and picturesque setting. Completely renovated in 2023, the home features a stunning addition by Rick Anderson Builders, thoughtfully designed in collaboration with the current owners. The result is a warm, distinctive living space filled with character and comfort. The sunlit living room showcases oversized ''schoolhouse'' windows, antique beamed ceilings, a paneled gas fireplace wall, and custom built-in shelving and entertainment center--details that bring both elegance and a touch of whimsy to every corner.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 3,093 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 14,810 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
