About this home

Set on its own peninsula overlooking Buttermilk Bay, this landmark waterfront residence offers an extraordinary 485 feet of direct water frontage and vibrant views in every direction. With water visible from nearly every window, the home captures the beauty, light, and that define life on the Cape. The front garden welcomes you with mature plantings and picturesque arches that create a peaceful and inviting approach. Inside, the home blends Mediterranean architectural character with thoughtful modern updates, offering generous space for entertaining while maintaining the warmth and charm of a classic villa. Bay views greet you immediately and continue to unfold as you move through the living spaces and into the sunroom with panoramic views over the large yard. The main living areas are designed to bring the outdoors in, filling the home with natural light. Upstairs the bedrooms enjoy western exposure, offering serene sunset views over the water at the end of each day.
