Dreaming of island life on Cape Cod? Here's a rare opportunity to own a spectacular home with epic water views in one of the most beautiful spots in Wellfleet. Amazingly, all this peace, quiet and natural wonder is just a short two-mile drive off Route 6.
Welcome to Lieutenant Island. It's on the Cape Cod Bay side of town, connected to the mainland by a scenic causeway and bridge. While some high tides and storms might temporarily disrupt access to the island, most of the time it's an easy ride.
That's where you'll find this lovely contemporary home, a serene retreat from the hurly-burly of the regular world.
"The water views are gorgeous," said listing agent Nick Brown of Thomas D. Brown Real Estate Associates. "The property has almost unlimited views to the north and northwest."
Priced at $3,995,000, the spacious home features five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and a half bathroom. The main floor offers fabulous and open entertaining space. You'll find a grand living, dining and kitchen area, graced by soaring ceilings and large windows that bring the huge views inside.
This level of the home also offers a large deck with more fantastic views, a gracious three-season porch and a main bedroom with a bathroom. Family and guests will also have plenty of space and privacy: two large bedrooms, each with a bathroom, are located on the second story, and the lower level features two more bedrooms with bathrooms and a kitchenette.
The home is stunning and so is the setting. Delights abound inside and out. Pop a kayak into the water and explore a new side of Wellfleet, or enjoy fishing and birdwatching. Hike around the island and get your feet wet. It's been said that kids of all ages jump into the high tide water at the bridge, but you'll have to investigate that yourself.
The great thing about life on Lieutenant Island is that you are a world away from the churn of civilization, but close to the delights of Wellfleet. Marconi Beach on the Atlantic Ocean is about three miles from the house, as is the legendary Wellfleet Drive-In Theatre. Bustling downtown Wellfleet, with all sorts of dining and shopping options, is about five miles from the home.
If the beauty of island life in Wellfleet sounds appealing, it may well be worth the drive for a look-see at this incredible home. Just crossing the bridge is a thrill!
