Recently renovated by renowned architect Patrick Ahearn; this 7 bedroom home checks all the boxes, while retaining it's 1925 Cape Cod charm.

The pool, patio and guest house are something to behold; and out the back door; Nauset beach beckons. The pool area is designed for entertaining and is a focal point of many of the interior living spaces. Across the street lies a private wooden footbridge onto Nauset beach. Let the sound of the waves lull you to sleep.
