Gentle breezes coming off Cape Cod Bay have enchanted us all week ALMOST as much as the picture perfect view of Lieutenant's Island, its infamous bridge, the marshes and tidal river. Like a Siren's song, the spell of this Wellfleet estate has us pausing often to take note of the tide's ebb and flow, the migrating shorebirds and the changes of September light. Helene Guilet-Smith, daughter of Dan Guilet, earlier 20thC world renowned violinist, was a voice teacher for the American Music and Drama Academy in New York. John 'Christian' Smith was a stage director for Radio City Music Hall and subsequently for the New York City Opera. Together, with their children, they found respite from Manhattan's summer heat and busy city life here in Wellfleet and created a special family haven. During their many summers here on Cape Cod, they both became involved with the Academy Playhouse, the Chatham Music Club & Chorale, and many local theater groups and productions. We are willing to bet that people of this area will recall the frequent gatherings at the house for music, songs and festivities around the Steinway whilst taking in the mesmerizing view! Yankee Estate Sales is proud to be of service to the family and invite you, our customers, to have a long moment with the view and perhaps find a few celebrity treasures!!!
