A special opportunity to reimagine a classic Cape Cod property in Orleans. Set on a beautifully wooded 1.28-acre parcel, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers approximately 2,005 square feet, a two-car garage and a private setting surrounded by mature trees and expansive lawn. The home retains wonderful character, including a living room with brick-surround wood-burning fireplace and exposed beams, a soapstone kitchen sink, built-in shelving in the primary bedroom and wood floors throughout the house. A spacious deck, large, fenced-in level lawn and existing outdoor shed/structure create an inviting setting for outdoor living. Ideally located near Nauset Beach, Crystal Lake, Kenrick Woods conservation trails, Arey's Pond, with the shops, restaurants and galleries of downtown Orleans conveniently nearby. For those with vision, this is a compelling opportunity to create something special in one of Cape Cod's most sought-after communities. This property offers an exciting opportunity to renovate or rebuild with potential for a 5 bedroom house (with town approval) and create a personalized Cape Cod retreat.
