Some properties are simply homes. Others become sanctuaries. Set along the shores of peaceful, non-motorized Crocker Pond, this special property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and easy access to the best of the area. Inside, the home has a warm, chalet-like character with beautiful wood details throughout. Most of the home's windows look toward the undeveloped shoreline, bringing the beauty of nature into everyday life. The first floor offers 2 living/family rooms, a dining room, kitchen, and half bath, with a flexible layout that could allow one of the living spaces to serve as a 3rd BR (the septic system is sized for 3). Upstairs, 2 spacious BRs share an oversized full BA. The owners have made many recent improvements, including fresh interior paint, a new furnace and central air, a full bath and bonus room in the walkout basement, complete re-siding and trim, and a paved driveway. The property also features a new, impressive shed/workshop designed for the current owner's projects and creative pursuits. Other features include a garage, whole house generator and easy access to shopping, ocean beaches and more! Could this be your sanctuary? Taxes may vary depending on residency status. Buyers/agents, please verify all info contained herein.

Newton, located between Hyannis Harbor and the Centerville River, is a residential and coastal Barnstable neighborhood with salt-air marsh edges and winding, pine-lined lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 28 corridor near the West Barnstable Road junction, where small plazas, local eateries, and everyday errands set a steady Cape rhythm. Architectural notes lean Cape Cod and ranch forms, with older cottages mixed into newer rebuilds. Craigville Beach and the Centerville Village green shape warm-weather routines and shoreline walks. Four Seas Ice Cream and the Centerville Historical Museum act as familiar community touchstones. Conservation parcels and back roads keep the landscape feeling close to the land and water.
