Set above the ever-changing beauty of Rock Harbor Creek, this exceptional property captures panoramic views that transform with every season. From sunrise to sunsets, enjoy a front-row seat to osprey, great blue herons and abundant wildlife from nearly every room. Just moments from Rock Harbor, enjoy evening walks on the tidal flats, the charter fishing fleet, and some of Cape Cod's most memorable sunsets as well as nearby Orleans Village. The flexible floor plan includes a living room with fireplace, full bath, and generous closet space & a first-floor bedroom suite. A view-filled family room with wide pine floors and walls of windows opens to an expansive wraparound deck where the marsh becomes center stage. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers its own commanding views, creating a peaceful retreat above it all. The finished walkout lower level is ideal for bonus living, guests, or a bunk room. Outside, a fenced yard features a koi pond, hot tub, detached garage, and shed. While cosmetic updates will make it your own, this setting, location and views are irreplacable making this one of Orleans most hidden gems. (Ai Staged)
