This 4-bedroom, 2-bath Quintessential New England Cape Cod home sits on a wooded, level half-acre lot in Cotuit's most desired neighborhood. Situated along a quiet, well-kept street where neighbors still wave and the loudest thing most days is the ocean breeze in the trees. This is the kind of setting that slows you down the minute you pull into the driveway, and you feel like you were transported back to the neighborhood of yester days. The home and its charms continue inside... which has been reimagined; not overdone. The layout features a spacious and bright living room, with a fireplace, leading into an open kitchen and family room that make it easy to cook, eat, mingle, and spend time together. Separated from the living areas, the 4 Bedrooms are all updated with a careful hand, so it feels fresh, comfortable, and relaxing after a long Cape day. The finishes are muted and well chosen, creating a sense of calm that brings the beach feel straight inside your home.Improvements include big ticket items like a brand-new, top-of-the-line water heater and new skylight, and other smaller items like, paint, finishes, landscaping, and more. Stepping from inside to outside is as easy as exiting the 2 sliding doors onto the expansive deck. Mornings are quiet enough to hear the birds, and evenings are made for sitting out while the light fades through the trees around the firepit. The lot is flat and usable, with room for gardens, lawn games, or whatever; the limit is your mind. The outdoor shower is a game changer, being able to rinse off under open sky and leave the sand outside where it belongs. Muted, tranquil, private, and easy to live in, this home has it ALL. Close to multiple beaches, Cotuit Public Library, Cotuit High Ground, Mashpee Commons, and the Kettle-Ho, the benefits only increase once you leave the home. Whether you are looking for a strong rental history, or seasonal or full time residence, this is the one for YOU.
