The Cape Cod home once owned by pop star Taylor Swift, known for its sweeping ocean views and luxe fittings, has hit the market with a $14.5 million price tag. Located at 27 Marchant Avenue in Hyannis Port, the 5,064-square-foot residence boasts eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms, settled on 1.1 acres of prime beachfront property, Boston.com reported.
"It is quintessential Cape Cod. It is absolutely gorgeous," Robert Kinlin of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties, the agent responsible for the listing, told Boston.com. Purchased by Swift in 2012 for a comparatively modest $4.8 million, the home has since undergone extensive renovations, including expansion, and now includes over 5,000 square feet of indoor, and outdoor living space. Swift sold the home shortly after the purchase, and the property has changed hands since then.
With its panoramic ocean views accessible from nearly every room, the home has been transformed from a "vintage seaside cottage into an elegant coastal retreat," Kinlin detailed in his description of the expansive renovations which took place about six or seven years ago, as stated by Boston.com. Potential buyers can expect a property replete with all new electrical, plumbing, heating, windows, doors, roof, and even a rebuilt sea wall, as well as a new waterside swimming pool and fire pit added by the subsequent owners. The house's aesthetic honors tradition while transcending it with luxury, aiming to encapsulate the essence of Cape Cod summers, yet with a distinctly upscale touch.
A look inside reveals whitewashed plank walls and beamed ceilings in the foyer, and generous window designs that take full advantage of the coastal setting. The kitchen stands out with a large central island, high-end appliances, and custom cabinetry, while a sunny, expanded sunroom brims with light from floor-to-ceiling windows. For those mixing business with pleasure, there's an office adjacent to the three-car garage – complete with its own half-bathroom. Despite its opulent transformation, newcomers can still step down a short flight of stairs to find themselves on a private stretch of beach, further enriching the value of this coveted estate. Further emphasizing its sound investment potential, the property sits outside of the floodplain, according to Boston.com.
More detailed insight into the property's renovation and design reveals a collaboration between the current owners, architect Dell Mitchell, and interior designer Heather Wells. Their combined efforts have resulted in a distinctly modern yet comfortably coastal estate that offers furnished interiors representing a balance of Cape Cod's character with understated sophistication. Its prominent position on an elevated bluff affords 200 feet of private sandy beach and uninterruptible views across Nantucket Sound to the Kennedy Compound, a testament to the home's illustrious location and heritage, as per the listing on Robert Kinlin's website. This estate remains a testament to the fusion of history and luxury, poised for the next chapter in its storied existence.
