2370 Herring Brook Road

There's a kind of personal transformation that many people experience when crossing the Bourne or Sagamore Bridge. Anyone reading this probably knows exactly what I'm referring to: a lungful of salt air triggers an almost instant relaxation-response. The experience is so universal that years ago people began referring to cathartic bridge crossings as their 'Cape Escape'. Today, the Cape Escape has taken on added significance, which brings me to 2370 Herring Brook Rd?an escape-worthy 3BR/1BA ranch that combines an authentic cottage experience with the viability of a year-round home. Set well back from HBR (45ft) and just .6 miles to Thumpertown Beach on quiet backroads (simply cross over to Western Ave), this recently freshened, cheerful cottage offers a number of noteworthy updates, including: new roof & gutters (2019); furnace (2017); hot water heater (2016). Upon entering guests are greeted by a surprisingly large (18x18) open concept kit/din/living area w/good natural light thanks to plenty of windows and its westward orientation. Its neutral but warm & inviting seascape color scheme and textured walls give it a relaxed, come-as-you-are quality.
