Ensconced in a quiet, wooded neighborhood less than a half mile from Cape Cod Bay, this grand, newly renovated home offers the privacy and serenity that encapsulate the Outer Cape experience. From this corner lot boasting expansive front and back yards, take a short stroll down either sandy lane to the Bay, where beloved Campground Beach awaits you. Locals and visitors, elders and toddlers alike, prize "Campground" for her direct beach access (no stairway or meandering path), her mesmerizing, seemingly endless low tides and glorious, otherworldly sunsets. Entrance is free to pedestrians, so your whole party can walk or you can designate a driver to take your group and gear to the beach, return to the house and walk back to Campground, hands (and fee) free.
On her east side, this home sports a spacious, attached two-car garage with direct access to the house and also a large driveway that accommodates multiple additional vehicles. Moving westward from the garage there is a finished (not open sided), newly retiled breezeway consisting of the entryway for the first (of two) front (south facing) doors. Across the entrance is the laundry room that hosts a large capacity washer and dryer, as well as a mid-size, extra refrigerator that's great for drinks and such. Next to the laundry room, which also contains additional kitchen cabinetry, is a half bath with fixtures by renowned Orleans potter Stephen Kemp, as well as a linen closet. Across from the laundry and bathroom, there are a food pantry and a coat closet. A very convenient back staircase leads up to the huge East Suite above the garage.<br />

From the breezeway, you encounter the impressive, large-scale open format of the first floor. Multiple windows in each room bathe the entire floor in light and create an enchanting harmony between indoor and outdoor space. Ceilings are high and rooms are large, allowing the four rooms to "speak to" each other. Newly sanded and refinished white oak flooring throughout further strengthens the sense of unity and interaction among the four separate but unified spaces. In the living room, dining room, and den, gorgeous antique Persian rugs add a feeling of luxury and serve as a lovely stage for the elegant furniture and furnishings in each room. <br />
<br />
In 2024, the kitchen received a complete makeover. Formica kitchen- bar- and desktops were replaced with gleaming white quartz. New stainless steel bar and kitchen sinks and faucets were added. Also installed were a top-of-the-line Bosch induction stovetop and a super-quiet Bosch stainless dishwasher. And I believe you will love the 28.5 cubic foot GE Profile refrigerator with filtered water, ice maker and Auto Fill water pitcher, not to mention the 30" GE Profile double ovens with myriad functionalities. New, contemporary over-the-stove lighting enhances the cooking experience. Indeed, the kitchen is designed and appointed with the home chef in mind. All Clad Copper Ware® pots and pans, oversized lobster (or stock) pots, quality blender, food processor, knives and utensils are just a few of the amenities you'll enjoy in the kitchen. Additionally, the kitchen is a great space to gather and entertain. The bar top is a terrific platform for appetizers before a meal, and the desktop makes an excellent place to set up drinks and ice. Moreover, the bar is a fine place for kids to dine together if adults prefer to eat on their own in the dining room.<br />
<br />
The dining room sports a 80" x 40" Room and Board® dinner table with cherry wood frame and legs and a white quartz top, with 8 matching chairs, along with a Stickley cherry wood escritoire and sideboard. The den features a Room and Board® sofa and matching chaise longue, coffee table, end tables, and a 65" LG smart TV. The living room, with a Rumford stone fireplace, seats seven with the existing furniture but can accommodate additional chairs. The large coffee table is a great place to share a drink or even have a meal. The end table hosts an exquisite lamp by Stephen Kemp. From the living room, a slider leads to a sizable deck with table and chairs for six, but the 4 chairs and table in the back yard can easily be moved to the deck to accommodate more diners. From the deck you can't see the bay but you do catch the radiant, vibrant pinks of the sunsets. Just off the deck is Weber Genesis II gas grill (existing propane tank and a full spare tank are provided). <br />
<br />
Aside from the three tiled bathrooms, the flooring upstairs is all white oak and contributes to the seamless flow of the long upstairs, which is flanked on both the east and west wings by very large en suite bedrooms. Both contain multiple windows on all but one side of the room, providing wonderful, distant panoramic views of the outdoors and treetops that wave beautifully in the wind. Both the East and West Suites have a king and two twin beds,full baths, a ceiling fan, closet, chest(s) of draws, bedside tables and lamps, a desk with computer, a smart TV, and additional seating. As mentioned, you may access the East Suite through the back staircase. Additionally, a pocket door separates the breezeway downstairs from the rest of the first floor, making the East Suite ideal for late sleepers. <br />
<br />
The main staircase ascends from the main front door to a hallway on the second floor. To the left is the West Suite; in front of you is a bathroom servicing the two bedrooms to the right (= eastward). The bedroom overlooking the front yard (southward) contains a queen bed, closet, chest of drawers, ceiling fan/light, bedside table and lamps, and a reading chair. The bedroom overlooking the backyard (northward) has a king bed, bedside tables and lamps, ceiling fan/light and a closet. The area above the breezeway between the backyard bedroom and the East Suite is a "Bonus" Room that contains two twin beds, chests of drawers and a clothes rack. <br />
