Listing broker remarks

Legacy estate set prominently on one of the highest Osterville bluffs delivers classic waterfront expectations with a superior dock and substantial dynamic views from the Vineyard to Hyannisport. The grand yesteryear home constructed in 1920 conveys the qualities of that oceanfront era, with higher ceilings, multiple great rooms, and the character of hidden porches, exclusive balconies, and romantic patios. Curving stone walls, terraced rock feature gardens, and stone patios complement the entire grounds. Across the river from your 200 feet of waterfront is Long Beach, a pristine barrier stretch of powdery white sand and privacy. The dock enjoys some of the deepest water of any house on this stretch, allowing for multiple boats and other recreational craft. The quaint conclusion to this fairytale setting is a larger detached apartment over the garage. The square footage of 9,011, seven bedrooms and seven-and-a-half bathrooms speak for themselves. This treasure is waiting for you.— Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties
