''Sow's Ear'' Historic charm meets modern luxury
Barnstable, Historic Rte 6A Vacation Rental - ID 34837

Who says you can't ''Make a silk purse out of a Sow's Ear?''

Sitting prominently on ''Old King's Highway'' (AKA Rt. 6A), the historic 275 year old Amos Otis house has been meticulously restored and graciously enlarged. What was a severely neglected and overgrown property is now one of the most admired homes along the north side of ''Old Cape Cod'' and in 2017 was a featured article in New England Home magazine.

Located directly in the middle of Cape Cod, within the quintessential New England Village of Barnstable, Sow's Ears offers the best Cape Cod. The landmark property is situated overlooking the pastoral tranquility of the Cape Cod Organic Farm, with picturesque Barnstable Harbor and stunning beaches, both walk-able distances from the house. Every attention was made in creating a home of unsurpassed detail, both inside and out. The finished result is a spectacular property of tasteful historic character combined with sophisticated casual modernism.
