Enjoy expansive views of Cape Cod Bay and Great Island from our 2-level deck as well as from the open kitchen/living room. Our lovely house is located high atop Nauhaught Bluff, on a dead-end street, in a quiet neighborhood, with a 2 minute walk to the bay beach. The sunset views from the deck are spectacular. There's also a front deck with a table, chairs and umbrella to sip your coffee in the morning sun or to appreciate the shade at day's end or early evening. This is an ''upside down'' house designed with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and laundry room on the ground floor. The living space is on second floor with a half-bath, and the open livingroom, dining, and kitchen area affords great views of the bay from the deck.
Our family purchased this wonderful, unusual contemporary home in the fall of 2016, after decades of renting a variety of homes here, fulfilling a 40-year dream of owning a home in Wellfleet. This year-round home was in move-in condition, but we have been busy making some cosmetic changes. Please note that we will be adding new photos as we progress through this process.
The roomy house of 2,012 square feet of living space easily accommodates six people. The three bedrooms and two full baths and laundry room are on the ground floor. The Master suite has a queen bed, and sliding doors that open to a screened porch that faces the bay. It has its own bath tub with shower, a long vanity with mirrored wall and 2 sets of drawers, a full length mirror, linen closet, and two clothes closets. One clothes closet has a small bureau inside. There’s another large bureau in the bedroom, a bedside table with drawer and cubby on each side of the bed, including a reading lamp on each.
The second bedroom has a queen bed, with closet, bureau and two night tables with reading lamps, two windows and an upholstered chair.
The third bedroom has two twin beds which can convert to a king, a large armoir, closet, upholstered arm chair, one night table with lamp and a hanging lamp. Two windows offer lovely sunlight and cross breezes.
Upstairs is the large open kitchen, dining area and living space with hardwood floors. Two sets of sliding glass doors open to the two-tiered deck facing southwest to the Bay. The half-acre lot is surrounded by trees with views that make you feel as if you're in a treehouse! The fully-equipped kitchen is huge with lots of counter space, drawers and many cupboards, perfect for those who love to cook. There's a separate large walk-in pantry as well. The high-pitched ceiling with rafters and many windows and sky lights contribute to the bright open feel.
The cozy living area with Flat-screen TV and fireplace includes a comfy L-shaped couch which opens up to an additional Queen bed.
Many other amenities include a roomy outdoor shower, “mini-split” air conditioning units (and heat) in each bedroom, the lower hallway and upstairs. Outside is a quiet benched sitting area under trees. And, it's just a 2 minute walk to the beach on a deeded path. You take the paved road around the corner then the deeded path alongside a house to the beach. The beach is ok for swimming in higher tides, but it's more of a walking beach than a swimming beach. There are wonderful long beach walks in both directions.
One of the great walks to take from the house is the lovely walk to Wellfleet Center along the beach, through a forested path, then across Uncle Tim's Bridge to Wellfleet Center with all its quaint galleries, restaurants and shops. This walk takes about 25 minutes each way. Make sure to avoid high tide, as the tides can come high enough to cover the beach path. But as long as it's an hour before and after high tide, you'd be okay.
The house is conveniently located close to everything: Just off Route 6, between Eastham and Truro, and 20 minutes south of Provincetown. There's no end of activities available to you -- from the four beautiful ocean beaches with high dunes along the National Seashore, to the many freshwater sandy-bottomed kettle ponds, bay beaches, hikes on Great Island and National Audubon Sanctuary. Bicyclers enjoy the popular ''rail trail'' a paved flat trail that runs from West Dennis to Wellfleet, with access anywhere along the trail. At the end (or beginning) of the trail in Wellfleet you can enjoy the popular authentic French bistro called PB's for home made bread, pastries, sandwiches and more. If you like to cook, you can enjoy a great variety of local fish to cook at home on the Weber grill, or eat out at many of the fabulous restaurants.
