A newly constructed two-car garage/barn includes flexible bonus space, perfectly prepped for a future pool house or ADU. Located in a coveted coastal neighborhood, you're just down the road to Tonset Landing & beach. Dig for shellfish, paddle across to Nauset Outer Beach or explore all the nearby Orleans Conservation Trust trails throughout the neighborhood. Quiet and private yet close to it all!
East Orleans, located between Town Cove and Nauset Beach, is a coastal and residential Orleans neighborhood with salt-marsh inlets and dune-backed shoreline. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 28 corridor near the Orleans Rotary, where beach traffic, bike riders, and low-slung shops set a brisk Cape rhythm. Architecture leans to classic Cape cottages, shingled contemporaries, and tucked-away lanes leading to water views. Nauset Beach and Nauset Inlet shape daily patterns with surf, seals, and big skies. The Cape Cod Rail Trail threads through, linking errands to long rides. Skaket Corners and Rock Harbor sit close by for galleries, seafood counters, and sunset walks.

CA 1840, this is a very special antique . The home of Joshua and Thankful Crosby, it is located in one of the most desirable areas of Orleans and only .4 miles to the Weeset shore and Nauset Harbor. Best to consider this as a 3 BR although the town records report 4 BRs. There are 2 baths. A towering specimen Elm tree stands watch and provides cool and shade to both the home and the yard. A crackerjack renovation was done to the home creating a MBR w/ full tiled bath and an accommodating dining area adjacent to the kitchen.
