The “Round House” on Candy Lane: Step inside the iconic home where timeless character meets playful architectural charm. Built in 1916 by Knowles Crosby, owner of a once-thriving local shoe factory, this distinctive Arts and Crafts circular home is a rare offering that beautifully blends history with thoughtful modern updates. Set on 6.5 picturesque acres with water frontage, this one-of-a-kind property features 3–4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a dedicated office, and a spacious open-concept living and dining area designed for comfortable everyday living and memorable gatherings. The home’s unique round design creates an inviting flow and architectural interest at every turn, while large windows invite natural light to pour in and frame views of the surrounding countryside. In 2025, the home underwent substantial renovations, including all new windows, updated appliances, a new heating system, and numerous additional improvements - offering peace of mind without compromising its historic integrity. The result is a seamless combination of old-world craftsmanship and modern-day convenience. Outdoors, the landscaped grounds provide beauty and privacy, with a partially fenced yard perfect for pets or play. A private pathway winds through the property, leading to a tranquil riverside clearing - an ideal spot for morning coffee, quiet reflection, or evenings spent enjoying the soothing sounds of nature. Located just minutes from the Town of Yarmouth and its many amenities, this extraordinary home offers the best of both worlds: serene country living with easy access to shops, services, and community life. Full of charm, personality, character, and space, the “Round House” is anything but ordinary - ready to welcome its next chapter
