Property Description

A Provincetown poet’s cottage in the heart of Riverside. Though modest in scale, this 1868 clapboard single-family lives larger than its footprint, with light, views, and thoughtful details. The front porch—with its swing, broad enough for books and conversation—sets a welcoming tone and opens to a living room with exposed beams, hardwood floors, and a fine Danish wood stove. A full eat-in kitchen with writing nook, wine fridge, and custom barnwood cabinetry anchors the home. Each of the two baths offers character: a full main-floor bath with walk-in shower, and upstairs, a luminous bath with glass-enclosed shower and clawfoot tub. Three open exposures—one overlooking the leafy pocket park across the street—offer long views and a sense of space and calm. A dry, full-height basement with laundry, workbench, and storage extends the living space. With two-car parking, plus Riverside’s tree-lined streets between Harvard, Central, and the Charles River, this cottage is a rare find.
