Offered for the first time in generations, this lovely Cape Cod escape presents a rare opportunity to own a special home in the heart of Osterville Village. Set on a desirable corner lot, this charming three-bedroom, two-bath residence is just moments to beautiful Dowses Beach. Inside, you'll find gleaming hardwood floors, a spacious living room with fireplace, a formal dining room with a beautiful bow-bay window, and a bright four-season sunroom overlooking the large backyard--perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen features many built-ins and is highlighted by a distinctive copper stove hood. Two bedrooms and an updated full bath complete the first floor, while the second level offers a spacious third bedroom, another updated bath, and two unfinished bonus rooms with great potential.
