A property like this does not come on the market very often. Situated on over an acre with views of Barnstable Harbor to the North and Maraspin Creek to the South. When relaxing on the back deck, you will feel how private this home is, your only neighbor is the beautiful salt marsh. Inside, you will find a perfect setup for you and your guests. A bright, open kitchen/living area with views of the harbor and a formal dining room with sliders to the large porch is perfect for entertaining. Another cozy fireplaced living room is adjacent to the dining room. All three bedrooms are on this floor and are separate from the living areas. Each bedroom is large and thoughtfully designed for guests. There is also a full bathroom on this level. The lower walkout has another full bathroom and more space for family and guests.
