Property Description
On an elevated roughly two-acre site with 400+/- feet of frontage on Buzzards Bay, this enchanting home has an unassuming charm that belies its long, significant, and meaningful history. For half a century, the property has been owned by multiple generations of the same family, who lovingly cared for it and hosted numerous weddings, getaways, and gatherings here. The centerpiece is a five-bedroom residence whose silhouette and interiors boast timeless lines and character thanks to architect Ernest A. Sterling. A walled stone patio and lush green lawn gaze out at the bay, while mature pines and other native trees create a curtain of privacy on each side, and new mahogany stairs lead from the property to the beach. The grounds and beach afford the perfect private spots for enjoying the temperate bay waters, glorious sunsets—some of the best on Cape Cod—and one of the most refreshing sea breezes in the U.S. Truly a heritage property, this estate affords countless opportunities for the new owner. Two parcels are included in this offering.
