A charming 1818 colonial, Aaron Burbank's Windfall House is set in historic Sandwich Village, the oldest town on Cape Cod, incorporated in 1639 and rich in history. This gracious antique has retained many original features: wide-board pine floors, three fireplaces (one with a beehive oven), and the turned staircase to name a few. Rooms are decorated with many antique and period furniture pieces. Attractive plantings and a private side yard provide a perfect setting.
