About this home

Live close to downtown Orleans and the Cape Cod Rail Trail in this 3 bedroom Cape with an intriguing history. A brick fireplace anchors the living room with warm fir floors. A door leads from the country kitchen to a deck overlooking the shaded backyard. One bedroom on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second floor complete the layout of this charming home. Naturalized gardens and flowering trees allow for an easy care landscape. Watch the sun set over Cape Cod Bay from the nearby sandy beaches at Rock Harbor and Skaket Beach.
