Description

This singularly superb East Orleans waterfront residence represents the epitome of Cape Cod seaside living. An elevated acre with breathtaking views over Pochet Inlet to The Atlantic provides a remarkable setting. Extensive lawns wander to the water's edge, a perfect vantage for world-class bird watching. Stands of native cedars and lovingly curated English-style gardens offer outdoor enjoyment and soul-soothing relaxation. Paddle out at high tide, whale watch from your back yard or greet the moonrise from the expansive east-facing deck. The home is a masterpiece of aesthetic and efficiency. The original cottage was taken down to the studs in 2019 and reimagined with the highest quality materials and mechanicals. Every element was painstakingly selected for artistic merit, utility and harmony with the surroundings. The living spaces are warm and inviting with the orientation towards the deep, ever-changing views. Three levels of space provide room for added guests, work or quiet enjoyment. Offered completely and exquisitely furnished, ''Twitchers'' (a British term for bird watchers) must be seen firsthand to appreciate its unique synthesis of form, function and tranquility
