Description
''In its proper season, every door is unlocked, every window wide open. People, too, are more open in summer, moving through the house and each other's lives as freely as the wind. Their schools and offices are distant, their guard is down, their feet are bare,'' writes George Howe Colt. A more lovely door to be unlocked is nearly impossible to find than at 265 Sea View Avenue in Wianno, Osterville on Cape Cod. Open to the shores of Nantucket Sound, this shingled masterpiece offers a magnificent view splayed before you from over 200 feet of shoreline. With shoes a distant memory, step off the covered porch and, feel the lawn, the salt-smoothed seaside deck and finally, the sand. Look back at this 4,028 square foot home framed against an impossibly blue sky with seven bedrooms, multiple gathering areas and a kitchen as perfect for cooking up memories as cuisine, and know all is well in your world. An expansive seaside lawn offers endless possibilities for gatherings, games, tents or even a pool. There are memories to be made, milestones to celebrate, feelings and souls to restore from this ultimate coastal escape. Call to arrange an in-person visit. Please verify all information.
