WAQUOIT — Not only is this home situated in a quiet residential neighborhood at the end of a cul de sac, but it abuts acres of conservation land, namely the Quashnet Woods State Reservation and the Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge. That’s hundreds of acres of land which can never be built on, and an abundance of trails to wander and contemplate nature. Speaking of such, let’s narrow right in on the backyard of this home, as it is quite exquisite.
From the heated salt water pool to the gazebo to the gardens, this is your sanctuary. The gardens feature hardy hydrangeas and lush lilies among other must-have Cape Cod plantings, and are immaculately maintained. Spend the day out here in the sun with a good book and a cosmo, and from here, step up on the back deck and right in to the “wow” room …
Sliding oversize French doors lead you into this spacious, airy family room. Cathedral ceilings, skylights and a sparkling gas fireplace create the wow factor here. It opens into the gourmet country kitchen, boasting an elongated island with quartz countertops, and a breakfast nook with built-ins (the home does also feature a formal dining room).
Did we mention this is first floor living at its finest? The master suite, around the corner from the kitchen, features a slider out to the back yard and a perfectly styled bathroom with white subway tile and bead board, which opens to a huge walk-in closet.

The living room, with its cathedral ceiling, skylights and oversized windows is a pleasant, homey area to hang out. The mantle on the gas fireplace is outfitted with intricate stonework and flanked on either side by built-in shelves and cabinets with soft roll-out drawers — also present in the laundry room, for ease of access. The other two bedrooms, off the living room, feature high ceilings and oversized windows; the back bedroom opens right out to the pool. The shared bathroom, like its master suite counterpart, is adorned in white subway tile and beadboard. A finished basement, perfect for entertaining, completes the package.
This home was built by the Bayside Building Inc., as was the rest of this desirable neighborhood, known as Waquoit Meadows.
