This elegant Cape-style residence offers a refined retreat just minutes from everything Osterville Village has to offer. Set on a sprawling, wooded lot, the home's classic exterior is highlighted by a stately pillared portico and a winding stone walkway that create distinguished curb appeal.
The interior opens into a center hall layout where architectural columns frame a grand living room defined by a two-story wall of windows and a Palladian arch that floods the home with light. This formal area flows into the dining room and a functional kitchen featuring granite countertops, a central island with a cooktop, and a sunny breakfast nook. Adjacent to the kitchen, a comfortable family room offers custom built-ins and a brick fireplace.
The primary suite provides a quiet sanctuary on the first floor, complete with a walk-in closet and en suite bathroom. Upstairs, a versatile mezzanine gallery overlooks the living area and leads to two well-proportioned guest bedrooms. Outside, the expansive rear deck, complete with a retractable awning and vine-covered pergola, overlooks a private lawn and a peaceful ornamental pond, offering a perfect setting for outdoor relaxation. All of this, just a short drive away from Osterville Village and Dowses Beach.
