Listing broker remarks

Nestled within the private waterfront enclave of Nyes Neck, one of the Upper Cape's most cherished coastal communities, 31 Sunset Point Road presents a rare opportunity to experience the timeless beauty of Buzzards Bay. Set high above the shoreline, this property commands sweeping panoramic views across the water, where ever-changing light, coastal breezes, and unforgettable sunsets shape the rhythm of each day. With direct beach access just steps away, the setting offers an exceptional blend of privacy, natural beauty, and coastal serenity. The four-bedroom residence has been lovingly maintained and is ready to be enjoyed immediately, offering comfortable living spaces, a first-floor primary suite, and walls of windows that keep the remarkable waterfront vistas front and center. While the home reflects a classic Cape aesthetic, its true distinction lies in the extraordinary site--one that offers the rare opportunity to enjoy today while envisioning the future. Life in Nyes Neck is defined by a deep connection to the water. Residents enjoy a private neighborhood beach, boating, swimming, kayaking, and the quiet rhythm of a close-knit waterfront community treasured by generations of Cape families. As the sun settles over Buzzards Bay each evening, it's easy to understand why opportunities on Sunset Point Road are so rarely available. Also available under a separate listing is the rare homesite at 0 Sunset Point Road, located directly across the street.
