Set in the heart of Cotuit, yet a world apart, this spectacular property features a main residence and a guest cottage on 1.76 acres. A short walk from everything the village has to offer, the property is accessed via a wooded drive lined with mature trees that offer total privacy. At the heart of the home, an eat-in kitchen with a breakfast bar and stainless-steel appliances overlooks the scenic grounds. Warmth and character are found throughout, from rich millwork to wide-plank wood floors and a wood-burning fireplace. The first-floor primary suite offers the utmost comfort and convenience with a luxurious bathroom featuring a glass-enclosed shower and a dual vanity. A guest bedroom and full bath comprise the second floor, while the finished walkout lower level features a spacious guest suite with direct access to the backyard and the attached garage. A charming one-bedroom cottage with a kitchen, full bath, and laundry offers endless opportunities. Additional highlights include a spacious wooden deck, an outdoor shower, and a Generac generator. Cherished and meticulously cared for by the current owners for decades, this special village property awaits its next chapter.
