Welcome to Apricari! Latin for "Basking in the Sun", this home is aptly named as it provides everything your family will need to thoroughly enjoy their Cape Cod vacation! 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms (three full and two half), central AC, a lower level entertainment area, expansive fenced yard overlooking conservation land, immense in ground pool, hot tub, and, if you ever wanted to leave the property (you won't need to!), this home maintains a private but central Harwich Port location with proximity to beaches, two popular harbors and the downtown area.

Let Us Tell You About This Home:
Nestled between the popular thoroughfare of Route 28 and vast, revitalized conservation land sits Hoyt Road. Travel down this unassuming street and you will happen upon a long, winding driveway that transports you to the welcoming oasis that is Apricari.

A large parking area adorned with shells acts as your first introduction to this expansive home. Through the front door you find one of two stairways to the upper level and, on the other side of the entry hall, the first of many amenities aiming to provide you with the ultimate level of hospitality - A first floor bedroom (#1) which acts as a secondary primary suite and features a California King sized bed, en suite bathroom (#1) and walk in closet. While a luxurious option to any guest, this suite could befit those with mobility limitations or older members of a multigenerational family group.

Past the first floor suite, at the end of the entry hall, you will find yourself in the open living spaces that will provide the connection you desire for creating timeless memories during your stay at Apricari. The large living room with featured fireplace connects to the dining area seamlessly while that space is adjacent to both the kitchen and the sunroom. Countless entertainment opportunities exist within these spaces as they are open, updated and welcoming. Sit in the comfortable couches or chairs of the living room reading a book while others piece together a puzzle on the sunroom table (seating six) and the "chef" of the group prepares a meal, snack or cocktail to present on the kitchen island (seating three) which conveniently leads to the dining area (seating eight). Anything is possible as connection is kept between everyone in these spaces!

Located through a set of pocket doors that can pull out to provide privacy or disappear to elicit additional inclusion, you will find the sitting room featuring a large flat screen TV, books on built-in shelves and/or simply a comfortable place to set yourself at ease for a while. Through another door on the far side of the sitting room is the other end of the kitchen which leads to a hallway connecting to the garage with a side door and the second stairway to the upper level located between. Also conveniently tucked away in this hall is a half bathroom (#4) with a laundry closet containing a large washer and dryer.

The upper level of Apricari meanders throughout the home's footprint, providing one Queen (#2) and one California King (#3) sized bedrooms, two full sized cribs (one in bedroom #2 and another in a nook created by the floorplan), a bedroom (#4) with two Twin sized beds, a full bathroom (#2) shared by the aforementioned three bedrooms and, finally, an impressive Primary suite (#5) with King sized bed, two desk work spaces, full en suite bathroom (#3) with double vanity, separate tub and shower, two large walk in closets and a separate stairway that reaches the upper level between the Twin and Primary bedrooms (originating near the kitchen on the main level).

Within the lower level of this home is a large recreation space separated by a half wall so everyone can stay involved in the activities. On one side is a comfortable family room featuring a several comfortable seating options, a screen for projecting content, a wall-encased fireplace, a space for children to play and a very convenient half bathroom (#5) nearby. The other side of the pony wall presents a ping pong table and remote work space (one of several throughout the home) for anyone who has the unfortunate task of concentrating on work while residing in Apricari.

Adding more distance between you and your daily woes is the outdoor realm of Apricari. The private property runs an extensive length between the home and the conservation land beyond while a back gate in the fenced yard leads to a path overlooking the conservation area - perfect for a quiet morning cup of coffee or a simple moment of reflection. Back toward the home, you will find a bocce area with intentional wood beam borders, a large, heated inground pool and a hot tub that conveniently exists outside of the sunroom. On the side of the home is an outdoor shower for rinsing off after time spent in the pool/hot tub or perhaps for a night time shower had under the starlit sky. Much like the inside of this home, the outdoor spaces provide endless opportunities!

Owners have offered guest use of the kayak which is near the outdoor shower. It can be carted to the nearby harbor for water entry. (Please always wear safety vest - use at your own risk). For those less adventurous members of the group who wish to remain out of the water, the very popular Brax Landing restaurant is nearby and offers indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the inlet and harbor.

Your vacation begins with a quiet road providing privacy for your stay while also being near anything you will need. Walk to nearby beaches or downtown Harwich Port for it's famed restaurants, stores or social scene like the beloved "Port Summer Nights" or "Art in the Park". You can do it all or nothing much as Apricari offers an ideal location and such incomparable amenities that you may never want to venture outside of the property.
