Listing broker remarks

Tucked away on a private .46-acre fenced lot and bordered by protected National Seashore land, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod retreat offers a special combination of privacy and location. Thoughtfully updated and extensively renovated in 2026, the ranch-style home features vaulted ceilings and a comfortable, inviting main level. The finished walkout lower level is filled with natural light and includes heating and cooling, a private bedroom and full bath, providing flexible space for guests, extended family or in-law accommodations. Best of all, you’re just 1 mile from Coast Guard Beach and Cold Storage Beach, with Highland Links Golf Course right around the corner. A wonderful setting to enjoy the beaches, natural surroundings and laid-back Cape Cod lifestyle.— Thomas D. Brown RE Associates
