Listing broker remarks

Opportunity awaits in South Orleans! Less than 1/2 mile from the town landing at Pah Wah Pond, with access out to the waters of Pleasant Bay, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath Cape offers a fantastic combination of location, space, privacy, and potential. Set on a large, private lot, the home provides plenty of room both inside and out for its next owner to reimagine and make it their own. A newly enclosed sunroom overlooking the backyard creates wonderful space to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting, while the partially finished lower level offers additional flexible space for a home office, recreation room, or overflow living area. Through the fence is an extra large paved area for a boat or a camper, as well as an EV charger. The home's interior is ready for updating, providing an exciting opportunity to bring your own style and vision while benefiting from some important improvements already completed—including a brand-new HVAC system installed this summer. Whether you're looking for a year-round home, Cape Cod getaway, or a property with room to build equity through thoughtful improvements, this South Orleans Cape offers a compelling opportunity in a sought-after location close to the water, boating, and all that Orleans has to offer. Bring your ideas and imagine the possibilities!— Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties
