Waterfront with a dock on Town Cove in Orleans! This well built meticulously maintained 3 bedroom 2 bath Cape has sweeping water views from every room! With high ceilings and oversized windows the water view commands attention; meanwhile the rear deck and patio encourage outdoor living. The detached garage with loft is a good spot for future expansion. This house has been beautifully cared for. All the important updates are done. The back yard has room for a pool. The septic is in the front yard and has been recently replaced. There is a generator and central AC. This home has room all the way around for expansion. Dock is private and yes a boat can be tied up to it; the water is approx 2.5 to 3 feet at dead low tide. Owned by the same family for the past 50 years; opportunities like this don't come along often. Come see this beautiful spot!

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,000 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 41,382 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
