There's owning a cottage on the Cape... and then there's falling head over flip-flops for this picture-perfect gem tucked away on a peaceful lane, just moments from the sandy shores of Nantucket Sound and the heart of the village. This cheerful year-round retreat has everything you need to leave the world behind. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, it boasts an airy open layout, a stunning kitchen with granite counters, gleaming wood and tile floors, a sun-splashed bath with its own sun tunnel, and all the modern comforts--newer roof, Hardie plank siding, energy-efficient windows, and more.Outside, you'll love the private backyard oasis complete with a deck for lazy afternoons, a sweet little shed, and the kind of outdoor shower that turns rinsing off into a luxury. After you've lazed away the hours on the beach, venture out to enjoy all the local charm--browse the library on a cold or rainy day, indulge in delicious bites at nearby eateries, sip something refreshing at the local watering holes, play a round of mini golf, or treat yourself to some delicious ice cream.All that's missing is your beach towel and a good book. Just bring your flip-flops, it's ready to go!
