About this home
If you love nature, this is THE HOME for you! Tucked away at the very end of a quiet, dead-end street, this storybook waterfront Cape Cod offers an extraordinary blend of total privacy, pristine updates, and effortless living. Frame-worthy scenery surrounds you as the winding Manalapan Brook wraps around two sides of the property, creating a protected sanctuary with unobstructed views of lush woods and tranquil waters. A birdwatcher's paradise, over 60 different species have been spotted right from the property! A private fishing spot and personal kayak launch sit right outside your door, where you can paddle directly out to Lake Devoe or simply relax in your own secluded slice of nature. Inside, classic sun-filled charm meets total mechanical confidence. Every major, high-ticket system has already been meticulously updated for you, including a brand-new roof (2024), energy-efficient windows and exterior doors designed to capture the water views (2025), a modern HVAC system (2023), water heater (2022), upgraded electrical panel (2022), and a fully replaced sewer stack (2022). The interior features a pristine kitchen with updated appliances (2022), a smart automated security camera system, and a full basement with rare, convenient outdoor access. Set in a wonderful neighborhood yet completely tucked away from the world with zero deferred maintenance, this turnkey retreat delivers a lifestyle that simply cannot be duplicated.
