glorious two-family Victorian home
This glorious two-family Victorian home from the 1920s is a rare treasure. Most recently the home of Dermot Meagher; the first openly gay judge appointed by former Gov Dukakis and a very special local artist, writer and poet. The property sits at the top of Winslow St on a level lot with a generous back yard and plenty of parking. It measures 1,625 square feet of living space, four total bedrooms, three full baths, and is listed as a two-family by the Town of Provincetown, currently using one bedroom in an attached guest studio on the south side of the house. The enclosed backyard features nicely landscaped open space and a large cottage-sized shed. A driveway to the right of the house allows for multiple car tandem parking. The first-floor entrance across the front of the home begins with a large 3-season enclosed porch. The interior entrance from the porch leads to the front foyer with the living and dining rooms open to the left. A hallway straight ahead from the foyer continues to a den library and adjoining kitchen at the back of the house. The back slider exits to a decorative brick and stone patio. (See More to continue.) The foyer also features a classic banister to the second floor where 3 bedrooms and a shared full bath complete the living space. The basement access from both the hallway and exterior walkout include laundry, workshop, oil forced air furnace, and electric hot water heater. This location is across from the south corner of Motta Field Park, now undergoing a 12m dollar recreational renovation. Also of interest is the nearby Pilgrim Monument/Museum and a short jaunt down Winslow to Town Hall, the center of downtown and the waterfront wharfs. The property has received regular maintenance over the years, all the while preserving precious architectural details and a hard-to-find artistic homestead ambiance both inside and out.
