    What's special

    Skylit bonus roomNew trex deckPotential for a poolSunlit living spacesFinished walkout lower levelRare privacyExclusive enclave
    Towhee Lane is one of Orleans' most coveted addresses - an exclusive enclave nestled into the curve of Pleasant Bay, with gracious homes and direct access to one of the Cape's most scenic stretches of shoreline. Tucked into nearly an acre of mature landscaping, this sprawling Royal Barry Wills-designed home offers rare privacy and an unbeatable location for summer or year-round living. Just across the street lies the association path to a beautiful private sandy beach on Pleasant Bay - one of the many reasons 42 Towhee Lane is so special. The 3-bedroom layout flows easily through sunlit living spaces, with classic millwork and a seamless connection to a new Trex deck for outdoor dining or sunset cocktails. Plus, the skylit bonus room above the garage is ideal for an office or studio, while the finished walkout lower level with full bath offers a separate retreat with plenty of room to expand. A new cedar roof and whole-house generator provide peace of mind. The setting offers excellent upside, including potential for a pool. Kayaking in the bay, breezy afternoons on the beach, croquet on the lawn, and relaxed evenings by the fire await - just another day on Towhee Lane.
