Listing broker remarks

There are beautiful homes on Cape Cod, and then there are properties whose scale, setting and presence place them in a category entirely on their own. Privately set at the end of a quiet North Truro cul-de-sac, 8 Schardt Way is one of those rare gems—a Chatham-like estate in scale and sophistication, surrounded by the untamed beauty of the Outer Cape and just minutes from Provincetown. Built by Cape Associates in 2009, the four-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath residence offers an impressive 5,824 square feet of living space on approximately 3.7 private acres. Elevated above its surroundings, the home captures sweeping views toward Provincetown and Cape Cod Bay from almost every room—expansive skies, changing light and unforgettable sunsets become part of everyday life. Adding to the extraordinary nature of this offering is 6 Schardt Way, an adjacent vacant, buildable parcel of approximately 1.1 acres, creating a combined setting of approximately 4.8 acres and providing additional privacy, flexibility and a rare opportunity to control more of the surrounding landscape.Enhancing its future potential, 6 Schardt Way has an engineered Title V plan designed for a five-bedroom residence, along with a test well, offering an exceptional opportunity to further develop the property as an expanded estate, guest residence or multigenerational family compound. The residence was created on a scale rarely encountered on the Outer Cape. Generous living and entertaining spaces invite a house filled with family and friends, while the expansive grounds provide the extraordinary feeling of having your own world within one of Cape Cod's most treasured landscapes. This is a property that gives purpose to coming home—where summer weekends become traditions, children and grandchildren return year after year, friends gather around the pool, and spectacular Cape sunsets remind you exactly why you chose to be here. A saltwater in-ground pool creates a private resort-like setting, while a heated three-bay garage, heated driveway track, radiant basement floors, 30kW Kohler automatic generator and extensive recent mechanical upgrades provide exceptional year-round comfort. The primary suite offers its own private sanctuary, highlighted by a BainUltra ThermoMasseur bath. There is a certain feeling that comes with owning a property of this significance—a sense of arrival, permanence and belonging. A place worthy of what you have accomplished.— Gibson Sotheby's International Realty
