There is always a rainbow on Cape Cod. It is a street in West Yarmouth a short distance from the beach on Lewis Bay. The cottage at #40 has been this family's Cape get-a-way for the past 50+ years and it is time to pass it along to a new owner. The current 2 bed, 1 bath structure has a new roof from 2017 and a great lot that allows for future expansion. Deeded rights to the Englewood Shores Beach Association, just a few blocks away, make this property even more special. Yes, the home needs the touch of someone willing to bring it back to life. Is it time to buy your Cape Cod get-a-way and add to a lovely legacy? This cottage may be your pot of gold!
