A new home on an old property in Harwich Port boasts a stunning new kitchen perfect for entertaining for years to come.

Location, location, location. 

It’s an age-old mantra that stresses the fundamental principle of real estate. For one Connecticut family, they already knew, and loved, the location of their summer home; so when the opportunity arose to purchase the house across the street, they took it. 

“I grew up coming to the Cape as a child,” homeowner Tara Seiler says. Seiler is Tara’s married name but her maiden name is a familiar one—Nickerson—a relative of William Nickerson who founded the town of Chatham. The Nickerson Family Association is one of the largest family associations in the world with descendants estimating over 350,000. Tara shared her love of Cape Cod, which ran as deep as the roots of her ancestors, with her husband George and their children, spending vacations here as often as they could. She shares, “My heart was always on Cape Cod and then I introduced it to my own family. My husband, who was originally from New York, fell in love with it too, and after renting a few times over the years we decided to look for our own place.”
