Something as simple as a vintage front door painted a dusky purple or a pair or rocking chairs on a wraparound porch are a good indicator that you’re about to stumble across something charming.
Between its tree-wrapped 1.26 acres, second-floor dormers peeking from the roofline, and barn-turned-pool house, 391 Main Street in Cotuit looks like it’s been ripped from the pages of a storybook.
The main house retains that 1850-ish character with cozy, intimate spaces to gather and host, like the living room with fireplace and window-lined formal dining room. It’s then elevated with an upgraded farmhouse kitchen that opens to the most perfect sunlit breakfast nook and adjoining sunroom. There are four bedrooms to spread across, but our guess is that most of your time is going to be spent on the spacious deck, enjoying every minute of the outdoors.
Where there’s a pool house — with a kitchenette and half-bath no less — naturally, there’s a sparkling pool. The heated, in-ground oasis is surrounded by a manicured yard and shady lounge areas for cooling off.
Cotuit beaches, the vastness of Nantucket Sound, and the old-time joys of the Cape Cod Baseball League are all nearby to enjoy, too.
The sale of the home, on the market for $1,695,000, is represented by Peggy Rowland and Samuel Wilson of Sotheby’s International Realty – Cape Cod – Osterville Brokerage, 339-927-0261.
