17 West Vine Street U1

This is one of those very special properties in Provincetown's west end - a quintessential 1800's half Cape with wood shingle roof, which has been completely remodeled, with a nod to its history and thoughtful design for today's high-quality standards. Perched upon West Vine St., the home offers views across Provincetown Bay to Long Point. Featured on the cover of Home Remodeling Magazine, the article inside titled ''Paradise Found'' certainly captures the essence of this pristine home. Custom wainscoting; gas fireplace with reclaimed wood mantle; award winning storage compartments; hand painted wall mural by local artist Liz Carney; artisan built-in banquette with floating benches; concrete countertops using Cape Cod sand; exposed wood from the original 1828 house; and creative use of color throughout set this home apart. The entry level is well laid out, with an open kitchen, dining, living area and separate first floor bathroom and bedroom, with vaulted plank wood ceiling and its own exterior entry. The stairway to the 2nd floor, with its stainless-steel cabling and two windows with views of the Pilgrim's Monument and surrounding gardens, is another thoughtful design element.
