Arriving beneath the tree-lined canopy is like passing through the famed monkeypod tunnel on Maui's Honoapiilani Highway--a graceful, almost cinematic approach that lets you know you're at the beginning of something extraordinary. Set beneath mature trees and just 0.3 miles from the sandy shores of Nantucket Sound, this classic Cape Cod home blends architectural heritage, thoughtful updates, and resort-style outdoor living to create a truly special retreat. Built in 1929, this home is one of the very first in the neighborhood--a rare, early example of Cape Cod Revival architecture, when homes were designed to honor early New England forms while embracing modern life. Once owned by John Quincy Jr., a direct descendant of Edmund Quincy and author of Quincy Market: A Boston Landmark, the home carries a distinguished connection to Massachusetts history. Spanning 2, 034 square feet with four bedrooms and two full baths (one on each level), the home embodies the enduring appeal of traditional Cape architecture. Throughout the first floor, wide-plank pine floors, beamed ceilings, and wainscoting create a sense of warmth and timeless craftsmanship. At the heart of the home lies an expansive living and dining area, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, a gracious gathering space that flows seamlessly into the sun-splashed 10' x 17' solarium. With windows on three sides, the scent of the sea drifts softly through, infusing daily life with the rhythms of the nearby coast. The kitchen opens directly to the patio and outdoor dining area, encouraging an easy indoor-outdoor flow. A first-floor bath with laundry adds practicality, while a cozy daybed nook offers a quiet spot to retreat with a book. Upstairs, hardwood floors, stained glass details, and a renovated bathroom speak to thoughtful stewardship honoring the home's historic soul while meeting modern needs. Outdoors, the property transforms into a private sanctuary. An in-ground pool serves as the centerpiece of the backyard, surrounded by mature plantings and privacy fencing. The brick patio offers multiple lounge areas, a firepit for cool Cape evenings, and a large outdoor shower that perfectly captures the essence of beach living. The two-car garage doubles as a workshop, with wood-trimmed ceilings and a built-in worktable ready for creative pursuits or coastal adventures. For those who love the water, the location is unparalleled. Allen's Harbor Marine Service is just two minutes away by car, providing quick and easy access for boat owners who want to keep their vessels nearby. With Nantucket Sound practically at your doorstep, the possibilities for sailing, fishing, and coastal exploration are endless. Located in one of Harwich's most desirable neighborhoods, this property balances serenity with accessibility, just a short stroll to the beach and moments from Harwich Port's vibrant village center, with its boutiques, marinas, and beloved restaurants. This is more than a house; it's a sanctuary with soul, a legacy property that offers architectural integrity, coastal lifestyle, and a sense of place that's increasingly rare.
