The rarest opportunities in Cotuit begin with a location that can never be duplicated. Set on approximately .32 acres along Ocean View Avenue, one of Cotuit’s most coveted addresses, this antique residence offers a rare opportunity just steps from the sandy shoreline of Cotuit Bay.Originally part of the historic Pines Hotel, the circa 1842 home is woven into the fabric of old Cotuit—a reminder of an earlier Cape Cod, when summers were simpler and life in the village followed the rhythms of the water.Today, its greatest assets are those that cannot be recreated: location, proximity to the bay, and an enduring sense of place. Nearly 2,000 square feet includes three bedrooms, three baths and multiple living areas, surrounded by a wonderfully private and peaceful yard.Just a short stroll away, where Cross Street meets the bay, a quiet stretch of sugar-sand beach opens onto the calm, protected waters of Cotuit Bay. Morning light shimmers across the water; evening brings reflected sunsets and the unmistakable feeling of summer in Cotuit. As seasons change, the views remain although with the crystal clarity of autumn and winter light.The house itself invites imagination. Restore its antique character or reimagine it for the next generation… possibility abounds.You cannot recreate Ocean View Avenue, Cotuit Bay or a setting that has defined the village for nearly two centuries.Come see the possibilities at 120 Ocean View Avenue.Please verify all information contained herein.
