Overlooking an expansive salt marsh with views toward Cape Cod Bay, this contemporary Cape offers a front-row seat to one of the Outer Cape’s most captivating landscapes. Water views are enjoyed from every room as tides move through a natural marsh channel and light shifts across the grasses and sky, with the bay visible beyond. The wrap-around deck extends the living space outdoors—perfect for morning coffee, sunset drinks, and evenings under the stars, with views of Rock Harbor fireworks and the ever-changing coastal sky. Inside, light-filled interiors create a welcoming coastal retreat. A first-floor bedroom opens directly to the deck, while the second-floor primary bedroom enjoys sweeping marsh views toward Cape Cod Bay. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, the home reflects careful stewardship over time. A walk-out lower level offers convenient storage for beach and outdoor gear in this rare marsh's location where nature, water, and sky define each day.
