Lower Cape, located between Harwich Port and Chatham, is a coastal and village-centered Harwich neighborhood with salt-marsh inlets and bike-trail access. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 28 corridor near Harwich Port’s Main Street, where galleries, independent shops, and sidewalk cafés set a relaxed, walkable rhythm. Architecture leans toward classic Cape cottages, shingled beach houses, and low-slung ranches tucked behind pitch pines. Red River Beach and Bank Street Beach frame daily life with wide sand and calm water views. The Cape Cod Rail Trail threads nearby for car-free rides toward Nickerson State Park. Community touchstones include the Cape Cod Lavender Farm, the Cape Cod Baseball League’s Harwich Mariners at Whitehouse Field, and the Cape Cod Theatre Company/Harwich Junior Theatre.

Unique Harwich Port 1.17 acre estate-like property, the backyard was made for entertaining with the park-like setting, beautiful gardens, an outdoor kitchen, a bocce ball court, a shed with a pub room, an outdoor fire pit, and a pizza oven. The barn/garage has a family room, fifth bedroom, and bath. 74 Doane Road is a beautiful Cape Cod home with authentic architecture. Elisha Doane built the house in 1747 and sold out of the Doane family in 1953. In 1983, the home was purchased by Carol O'Brien, a well-known interior designer from Wellesley. Carol commissioned Virginia Pena to paint the mural found in the current living room in 1988. Virginia was a renowned folk artist, a first-generation Cape Verdean Cape Codder. In 2003, the home was purchased by Gayle Kiely and her husband, Max Johnson. Max was a well-respected historic preservationist contractor who painstakingly restored the house to its previous glory. The house was raised for a fully poured foundation, a beautiful new modern kitchen with granite counters, and a center island that opens to the large dining room, den, and cathedral sunroom to enjoy the tranquility of the private yard. Don't miss this rare opportunity.
