Location, personality, whimsy, and a fanatical attention to detail — 75 Great Hill Road in Sandwich is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching properties on the Cape. With Lawrence Pond as its idyllic backyard, the property takes your traditional Cape Cod home and turns it on its head with unexpected architectural features inside.

A transformative $1.3M renovation in 2011 elevated the property into a design showcase. We’ve seen our share of cool kitchen moments, but the super-exclusive Lacanche range in electric blue topped with a Venetian plaster and black marble vent hood that rises to meet the cathedral ceiling is pure drama. Labradorite counters offset an enormous Carrera marble wall in the Smallbone-designed space for a one-of-a-kind cooking and entertaining hub.

Continuing from the kitchen, a great room reveals views of the lush grounds and Lawrence Pond in perfect frame. Glass doors open to the patio, your vantage point for sunrises, sunsets, and everything in between. An elegant living room with fireplace features French doors with the same serene background.

French doors and stained glass windows grace the first-floor primary suite, which features access to a patio overlooking the water and a sleek marble en-suite bath. Family and guests can enjoy two second-floor bedrooms and an office nook.

The property is on the market for $1,999,000. The sale is represented by Laurie Miller of Sotheby’s International Realty – Cape Cod – Sandwich Brokerage, 617-359-8304.
