Listing broker remarks

Prime location on one of Cape Cod's most coveted roads, East Bay Road in Osterville.  This beautiful home is rich with character, having been repurposed from a large carriage house.  It boasts history and classic Cape Cod charm. Enter the home through the large living room and move into the kitchen equipped with a bright sunroom off to the right. An old horse stable has been fashioned into an office space that is located to the left of the kitchen, with an adjacent first-floor full bathroom. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, two are en-suites.  Downstairs a finished basement provides more living space and a laundry room and full bath.  Outside, a detached 2-car garage provides space for your vehicles and a shed for storage. A beautiful fenced in side yard is ideal for summer gatherings, games or just relaxing. There is also an outdoor area out back for grilling and dining, as well as an outdoor shower, perfect after a day spent at the beach.— William Raveis R.E. & Home Services
