Lakeside living at its finest. Rarely does an opportunity like this become available on one of Cape Cod's most sought-after kettle ponds. Offering 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a flexible three-level layout, this waterfront retreat is ideal as a year-round home, private escape, or investment with strong rental potential. High ceilings and water views from nearly every room create a bright, inviting atmosphere. Recent updates include a new roof, new gas heating system, two-zone HVAC, refinished hardwood floors, new carpeting, newer appliances, and a recently installed septic system that has passed inspection. Wired for a generator, the home is ready to enjoy. Swim, kayak, fish, or sail from the sandy beach across the street, then relax on the private deck after a day on the water. A rare opportunity to enjoy the best of Cape Cod waterfront living.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,961 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 7,405 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
