This is the perfect home for your family get away. Recently remodeled and improved in 2023 with two new baths and in 2016 with a new kitchen, open floor plan, new master bedroom addition, and new screened porch.
Located at the end of a cul de sac and situated on 1.3 acres, this spacious 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home provides wonderful peace and quiet, but with all the conveniences you desire, such as whole house Wi-Fi, AC units, satellite/streaming HDTV, and nearby coffee houses, brewery, restaurants, and markets. Best of all, it's just a 0.6 mile stroll from the white sands and sunsets of Skaket Beach! You can walk to the beach using a private sand path in just 15 minutes and you'll be able to enjoy the calmest part of Skaket Beach - the best beach on Cape Cod.
The home is convenient to everything Orleans and the outer cape have to offer as well. Ride just 0.5 miles to the Cape Cod Rail Trail bike path. Drive to the ponds, freshwater fishing and hiking of Nickerson State Park - just 1.5 miles away. Drive to the surf of the Cape Cod National Seashore - just 9 miles away. Golf, fantastic restaurants, delicious ice cream are all nearby.
This inviting home easily sleeps 10 people and has plenty of space for two families and even your extended family. The first floor offers an open living space with a large family room, brand new kitchen, dining room, 1.5 updated baths, and brand new large screened porch. There is plenty of comfortable seating and tables for calm breakfasts, seafood dinners, and family game nights. There is also plenty of access to the outside so you can enjoy the calm of the 1.3 acre yard.
The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2016 with new cabinets and a peninsula for eating. It has new appliances, including a refrigerator with in-door water/ice, a dishwasher, microwave oven, and stove/oven.
The main family room has a cathedral ceiling with exposed beams. It offers a big screen HDTV and opens to side deck and a screened in porch with a chest of board games.

1. A master bed room (21'x13') with adjoining bathroom that provides the convenience of first floor living. It has a king size bed, flat screen HDTV, full size bath remodeled in 2023 with a wonderfully powerful shower, and air-conditioning.
2. A second bedroom that includes two twin beds, flat screen HDTV, and an in-room air conditioner. This bedroom also has easy access to the full size bath.
3. A large (16'x16') screened porch was added in 2016. It has a cathedral ceiling, is easily accessible from the kitchen and dining room and provides great views of the yard.
4. A half bath and laundry room off the family room was remideled in 2023.
5. A second family area offers a fireplace, game-size coffee table, and a futon couch for additional sleeping options.
The second floor offers two large, private bedrooms with air-conditioning. The first has a queen size bed, two twin beds, and a flat screen HDTV. The second bedroom has a king size bed and flat screen HDTV. Both bedrooms access a full bathroom with a large whirlpool tub.
The 1.3 acre property gives adults the privacy to connect with nature, relax and enjoy the early morning or evening sea breezes. The yard gives children plenty of room to run, play yard games, and explore in a private, safe setting. Enjoy the outdoor shower to experience the beautiful blue sky and morning birds or for a convenient clean up when you return from the beach!

About the host
Hosted by John Joseph
We grew up in Massachusetts and currently live in Lexington, MA with our three boys. We have been life-long visitors and explorers of Cape Cod. We love to explore the Cape - every beach is different, every town has a unique character. The surprises are never ending and we want to share that with others. At the Cape we love to explore the natural beauty and wildlife of the outer Cape dunes.
Why they chose this property
Our house is located in a small collection of houses. There is one street in/out to the whole community and then within the community we are at the end of a dead end street. So there is no through traffic, just residential traffic. Never crowded, always quiet. The location is fantastic as well. We are close to the all that Orleans and the outer Cape have to offer including beaches, town, bike path, shopping. For instance we love the walk to the beach. It goes from a paved road to a dirt road to a sand path over the dunes and you can feel the relaxation setting in more deeply with every step. Plus Skaket is one of THE best beaches on the Cape. It has soft sand; warm, gentle water; a great snack bar; and showers and rest rooms that make it convenient for a day at the beach.
What makes this property unique
This home has a unique feel. Tucked away in a wooded area at the end of a cul-de-sac, the home immediately makes one feel relaxed. Inside, the home has a comfortable, clean, and peaceful feeling. It immediately makes us feel at home, yet away from it all. But I have to say that the spacious yard (part of 1.3 acres of land) creates a feeling that you have really escaped from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The sky is usually a beautiful blue with birds chirping and the occasional turtle passing through. The two porches jut out into the yard so you feel connected with nature and the outdoors even if you are inside the house.
