Charming Sunny Older House on Ocean side
North Eastham Vacation Rental - ID 35581

Enjoy our Cape Cod house which dates back over 100 years. It was originally one of the houses rescued from Billingsgate Island that began to be taken by the waters of Cape Cod Bay in the second half of the 19th century. My grandfather, Harry Rodman purchased the house and property in 1918 for $75 when it was surrounded by fields and farms growing asparagus and turnips.

Originally a summer house it has undergone many renovations and we have added all the modern conveniences and necessities which we all expect and enjoy while trying to keep its distinct character and personality. .Across a large yard from the house, is a lovely cottage that is now occupied year-round by family.

The downstairs of the house has a kitchen, walk-in food pantry, and full bath. It connects to the dining area with a dining table that seats six comfortably and a separate seating area around a gas stove. From there, you enter the living room with French doors on the south end which connect to our enclosed sun porch. The sunny porch overlooks the back yard and has a table with chairs and other comfortable chairs. It is the most popular indoor space to eat and gather during the summer.

Past the pantry is a mudroom and the back entry to the house, where we have the washer, dryer and ample space for summer/beach supplies and equipment. Outside and beyond the mudroom is the outdoor shower which is a must to enjoy in the summer.

The bedrooms are upstairs and are reached by a winding staircase. There are three bedrooms upstairs and a half bath. The largest bedroom has a queen bed and two closets. The yellow bedroom has twin beds and dresser and the blue bedroom has a queen bed, ample closet, and built in shelves. with built in shelves. Alll the bedrooms get lots of light.
