In the quaint town of Wellfleet, this home will be a featured in the 2025 Wellfleet Historical House tour. Located less than a block away from Main Street, you will be in walking distance of the town’s famous art galleries, restaurants, artisan and pottery shops. It feels amazingly secluded despite being so close to town. In 1820, Richard and Priscilla Newcomb cleverly built the home where it still stands today. When you approach the house, you will immediately notice its unusual orientation to the street. The light cast throughout the home is simply beautiful. Dozens and dozens of original, restored windows carry breezes throughout. Hand hewn beams, antique wide pine planks, the post and beam construction has all been lovingly preserved to give us a glimpse into a different time in American history. The bay is less than a 1 mile walk and the Ocean side beaches are just a little over 2.5 miles and with access to Wellfleet’s freshwater kettle ponds, everything is right there for you to enjoy.

There is a massive private courtyard adjoining the 4 structure compound to spend evenings dining al fresco, entertaining or just spending time relaxing outdoors.

This home is authentic in every way.
