Amenities include hardwood floors, Central A/C, irrigation, outdoor shower, on-demand hot water and much more to add to ease of living. A new energy-efficient heating system & whole-house solar panels create an eco-friendly environment generating an annual electricity surplus & more than enough capacity to charge EVs. This desirable E. Orleans neighborhood is 5 minutes to village centers, with easy access to fine restaurants, shopping, beaches & surrounding towns. Town Cove is a protected saltwater inlet that leads out to Nauset Beach & the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy idyllic summer days beaching, boating, kayaking, & sailing, or simply enjoying the passing parade on the Cove.
