The Boat House in East Sandwich, Massachusetts is one of a kind.
Architect and dance instructor John H. Foster built the main part of the home in 1898 and its Spanish galleon-inspired addition in 1917.
You can’t actually see the boat part from the entrance, keeping the $3.5 million estate looking seemingly normal on approach. The main house offers 4,900-square-feet of living space and is part of a 16-acre estate that includes 5 buildings total.
Known simply as “Masthead“, the nautically-themed home joins five buildings on the premises, including a converted barn, carriage house and an assortment of smaller sheds.
The main house has four bedrooms and three bathrooms and 8 fireplaces. Besides its eclectic exterior design, interior highlights include original and intricately detailed woodwork, an artist studio and a billiard room. Last, but certainly not least, there is a standalone watchtower adjacent to the main house that offers views of Cape Cod Bay and extend as far as the Atlantic.
