Secluded ‘1648 Cotuit’, is truly a historic place, where time seems to almost stand still. Where memories, extended family and important things of life are savored. Sheltered from heavily traveled avenues, this a 1949 style home, was built with salvaged aged oak, prior to three major contemporary expansions. The newest walkout ‘finished basement’ expansion of about 2,000 Sqft brings this home to now: over 4,300 Sq ft. of total modern living space. It now features 5 Bedrooms, 3 full baths, a half bath, central A/C and every convenience expected today. This estate size property retains its wide-plank pine floors and fireside nooks for reading and is not included in the Historic District’s restrictions. The updated Kitchen features a Natural Gas cooktop, convection oven, quartz counter, custom maple cabinets and 1949 style storage. Three, private, sleeping/full bath recent ‘suites’ now span two floors. The new large fifth bedroom walkout has French doors opening to a private deck and yard. There are no close neighbors; just forested in-village privacy with decades of selected flowering trees and plants to immediately enjoy. A deep setback from Poponessett Road offers safe play areas and a golf putting green. The abutting corner lot has been completely cleared for a planned construction a new ‘estate’. It’s a pleasant short all-season stroll-or-bike to three ‘warm’ ocean beaches, Freedom Hall, the Post Office, Cotuit Bay’s dock, the Library, the KHO Tavern and the village general store. You could join the Cotuit Rowing Club or refurbish a 100-year-old ‘class’ Cotuit Skiff for racing on Cotuit Bay. Youngsters of the family can learn to sail at The Mosquito Yacht Club. This property has space for you to add a swimming pool, a second outdoor shower and a third garage bay. This home is tastefully furnished. You have the flexibility to rent while closing and filing your Barnstable permits. Plan now, as it’s move-in-ready to occupy next - July 1st.
