Picture it: a perfectly symmetrical Cape Cod Colonial on more than an acre of pristine grounds in Osterville’s exclusive Oyster Harbors community.

With its tree-lined lot and dramatic, long driveway, 329 Seapuit River Road in Osterville brings all the seaside charm sprinkled with modern updates where they’re called for. Call it a relaxed formality, a home that honors its traditional Royal Barry Wills roots that’s also easy to live in.

The marks of a good house on the Cape include lots of nooks and crannies for guests and loved ones to spread out to — a fireplace to cozy up next to, a sunroom for curling up with a beach read, or the perfectly spaced pair of trees for a backyard hammock. Buyers will find all this and more, including lavish outdoor space with a terrace, gardens, and a large Gunite pool to splash around in when you’re not exploring the beach or hitting the links at the tony Oyster Harbors Club.

Another calling card of a great Cape retreat is the room where everyone lingers. Here, it’s sure to be the duo of eat-in kitchen and sunroom, with cathedral ceilings, custom cabinetry, a showstopper range and range hood, and French doors to the patio.

Six bedrooms, five full and two partial baths, and just under 5,500 square feet with a bonus lower level round out the compound.
