Listing broker remarks

Tucked away in a quiet, coveted Orleans neighborhood, this meticulously crafted 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home, designed with exceptional attention to detail, is just a short stroll to Skaket Beach, providing neighborhood access and proximity to town shops and dining. The bright, open floor plan features a thoughtfully designed kitchen, a fireplaced living room, and a generous dining area ideal for family gatherings. A sun-drenched sitting room offers a welcoming retreat, while the finished lower level adds a family room, bonus room, and half bath with direct outdoor access. The attached two-car garage includes finished space and a bath above. Outdoors, two decks and a covered patio with a firepit and large-screen TV create an ideal entertaining space. Two versatile outbuildings (one heated) provide room for a studio, office, or workshop. Tastefully updated, this home reflects quality craftsmanship and invites easy Cape living with breathtaking sunsets on Skaket Beach.— Kinlin Grover Compass
