73 1/2 Commercial Street, #Neptune, Provincetown, MA, 02657 | $840,000

Step back to the days when salty sea captains and the aroma of brine ruled this curious little slip of coast. Picture it then: the early 1900s, when a man by the name of Captain Jackson Williams--a fellow who wore the sea like a second skin--rented out ramshackle rooms to sunburned fishermen and, later, to summer wanderers seeking nothing more than the caress of ocean breezes and sweet lullaby of waves tapping at the hull of their dreams. Fast forward to today, where history still lingers in the grain of weathered wood at Captain Jack's Wharf--a place where time has rubbed its calloused hands over everything yet left the soul untouched. Nestled right in the heart of Provincetown's West End, this condo isn't just a property, it's a secret handshake with the past. Enter Neptune, a studio condo perched on the corner of the second floor, offering views so stunning you'll think the ocean is winking at you from both sides. The floors? Beautifully worn wood, smooth like the deck of a boat. The skylights? They pour daylight into the room like an open bottle of champagne, filling the space with a golden, effervescent glow. And those exposed rafters? They're as authentic as a sailor's weathered compass. Of course, Captain Jack's legacy didn't fade away like a fog on the bay. Oh no, this place remains a coveted rental destination, with an on-site manager handling the logistics so you can focus on more important things, like whether the stars really are brighter when you're this close to the edge of the world. You'll find easy parking nearby at the West End beach. Or better yet, arrive by boat at the association's private dock. And yes, because we know some of your companions have paws, pets are more than welcome, with minor restrictions, as long as they abide by the gentle rules of the wharf. So here it is, this slice of history, Neptune; where past and present swirl together like salt and air. Open from Memorial Day to Columbus Day, it's waiting for those who still hear the sea calling. Strong rental income. Seller welcomes offers with requests for buyer concessions.
