About this property
Heated Private Pool, Walk to Beach & Shops, fully renovated house
A five minute walk to Osterville's Wianno Club on Seaview Ave and to Dowse's Beach, this four bedroom, four bath home was completely renovated in winter 2019. All new kitchen, 2 new high-end bathrooms and french doors out to a new, covered back porch. New front porch has rocking chairs. Heavy-duty teak table and chairs on rear covered porch can easily accommodate twelve with extra chairs pulled up to table.
The sunny and open kitchen has high ceilings, stainless steel appliances, a Thermador refrigerator, Thermador six burner gas range, Thermador dishwasher, custom maple cabinets, white Corian counter tops and a center island topped with quartzite. This open concept space (Great room) also looks out onto the beautifully planted front yard and the lush, private back yard and pool, heated at your option for an additional charge. Pool area is fenced for safety, has two round tables that seat 9, five chaise lounges, two outdoor heated showers and a storage box for pool toys. The entire house is WHEEL CHAIR ACCESSIBLE (but not ADA compliant) since it is basically all on one level. The step down family room is two steps down from the rest of the house but is open to the other rooms and anyone with mobility issues can still take part in things fairly easily.
There is driveway parking for 5 normal sized cars and we have an assortment of five bicycles, two kayaks with life jackets & paddles, a John Deere pull wagon, 2 ride-on toys for little ones, various pool/beach toys, beach blankets, and beach chairs.
For rainy days there is a Game room on the lower level with state-of-the-art Air Hockey table from Frontgate (with automatic score keeping and crowd cheering!) and a Foosball table. New Cape Cod Cornhole game and assorted other yard games and pool toys provided. Two XL flat screen Smart TVs on-site. Log-in to your favorite apps or watch owner's YouTube TV channel.
#### Full laundry room on the lower level with two newer Electrolux full size machines, iron, ironing board and hanging rack for handwashables. Laundry detergent, starch etc is provided.#####
Since owners are enthusiastic cooks and love to entertain, the kitchen is fully stocked with great quality pots and pans, XL lobster pot and utensils, dishes, bowls, flatware, glasses etc. All linens are included. No need to bring extras unless you have very specialized needs. We provide a beautiful new, full size crib, two baby gates, and a new high chair. Any other specialized equipment you need we ask you to please bring with you.
****All rooms are kept very comfortable with central air conditioning, provided by a Fujitsu mini-split ductless air conditioning system. It is virtually silent and very efficient, bringing the temperature to a comfortable level in minutes. Owners' family business specializes in the installation and maintenance of these systems so the units are kept in great working order.
**** ALL CHECK-OUT PROCEDURES MUST BE FOLLOWED AS STATED, OTHERWISE WE MAY HAVE TO DEDUCT EXTRA CLEANING/ ORGANIZING FEES FROM THE SECURITY DEPOSIT ****

About the host
Hosted by Deirdre Lane
My husband and I grew up in the Boston area and went to the same college. We met through mutual friends. We now live full time in a suburb of Boston. Osterville is a safe and relaxing retreat from the craziness of our every day lives. I am sure you will love it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
This property is very special to us because it is where my husband vacationed with his family for more than 40 years. They spent summer weeks renting cottages with cousins and eventually bought this house because of its beautiful lot and perfect location (steps to the beach and a short walk to the village). We have been lucky enough to keep it in the family, so our children have grown up vacationing here as well. We recently completely renovated the house and we plan more improvements as finances allow.
What makes this property unique
Location, location, location! We are just off Wianno Ave, a quick walk to Dowse's Beach & the Village, and steps from Seaview Ave...one of the most exclusive areas of Osterville. Once you get here, it is possible to spend long stretches of time not needing to drive a car. All kinds of fun is within a quick walk, jog or bike ride but the neighborhood itself is very quiet. If you need to nap and recharge, there is usually no traffic noise. The backyard is enclosed by a tall, wooden fence for privacy and is planted with flowering trees, bushes and perennials. There is an in-ground, private pool with heater which, even though not necessary because of the close proximity of the beach, is a real treat. A pool maintenance company comes once a week to clean and maintain the pool.
