How I Found the Zandy Castle!
Zandy Castle is a Victorian house built in 1880 that underwent a major restoration in the early 2000’s. I have a page dedicated to the restoration project here. The house has a completely open floorplan on the downstairs level - something you would not see in most Victorian homes that have not undergone a renovation - and enormous closets!
The story of how I came to own this beautiful house is rather interesting. It was my mother’s birthday, a significant milestone one. My sister and I were planning a suprise party for her. Mom was under the impression that I would not be able to travel from where I live in North Carolina to Massachusetts for the occasion. Unbeknownst to her, my family was planning to be there. We rented an Airbnb in Plymouth, Ma. on the beach to make it more of a vacation. However, the host cancelled the reservation and homes in Onset/Wareham were showing up in the search results. The photos of Onset Beach looked amazing and we rented a place within walking distance of the beach.
l absolutely fell in love with the area. Even though I grew up in the southshore area of Mass, I had never been to Onset…
Only 3.5 houses down from the beach. One is a cute little gingerbread house!
