796 S Main St, Barnstable, MA 02630

This Centerville home will transport you back to the charm and character of Cape Cod the ''way it used to be''. Sited near similar vintage, and much more expensive homes & near saltwater boat/kayak deepwater access on the Centerville River, it's a short bike ride to famous Craigville Beach and both Centerville and Osterville village centers. Set well off the street almost on the Osterville village border, this year-round home offers 2600+ SF, 5 BR and 2.5 baths, and overlooks a yard that had been a professional caliber tennis court. Restore the tennis court or replace with an in-ground pool (virtual rendering with pool in photos). The large living spaces with 8'+ ceilings are an entertainer's dream. 4 Patio doors open to an expansive front porch ( screens available) & a detached gazebo-a romantic setting for lunch or drinks late in the day. The 2nd fl. primary BR accesses the sun deck with peeks of the Sound, and has a sitting room that is a dreamy sun splashed retreat. Beautiful original wood floors are throughout & offer a wonderful starting point for your updating or redecoration project. Repainted & refreshed inside and out -move right in or renovate - buyer's choice The full walkout basement affords additional space for finishing and the detached 2 car garage is behind the house and is accessed by the long forsythia and Rose of Sharon lined driveway. Cape Cod's blue hydrangeas, lilacs and other plantings amplify the style of an old Cape Cod Beach 'cottage'. New (2022) hi-efficiency gas heat with on demand hot water and new 5 Br Septic system in design process. This home eagerly awaits its next chapter of summer or 4 season memories. Any improvements the buyers might make will be amply rewarded in this charming area of Centerville. Property had been a "B&B" at one point, and it may be possible again.
