Listing broker remarks

Tucked along a quiet, coveted street in Hyannis Port, where ocean breezes drift through the trees & privacy comes naturally, this rare 1.01-acre coastal retreat captures the timeless charm of Cape Cod. Built in 1900 & known as “The Laundry,” this 5-bed, 4.5-bath home once served Hyannis Port’s grand hotels—its legacy still reflected in exposed beams, historic finishes, & a striking Dutch split door w/ decorative ironwork. Sunlight pours through oversized windows, while two classic brick fireplaces create warm, inviting living spaces. The spacious kitchen features white cabinetry, stainless appliances, & a Viking range, ideal for gathering after long days by the sea. Outside, the beautiful flat backyard offers exceptional potential—perfect for an Olympic-size pool, family compound, barn, ADU, or expanded gardens. Dual driveway access from Longwood Ave & Washington Ave adds convenience. Limited water views today with potential for enhancement. Just a short stroll to Eugenia Fortes Beach.— Griffin Realty Group
