8 Depot Street, Mattapoisett, MA $1,795,000

Capture the Cod Cod lifestyle without the crowds in this lovely Victorian waterfront home in the historic village of Mattapoisett on the undiscovered south coast of Massachusetts where great boating, sailing and fishing are a way of life. This five bedroom antique Victorian home was expanded and renovated in 2002, and connects by an all season sunroom to a separate two bedroom Carriage House, added in 2006. With approximately 800 feet of frontage on Eel Pond, both spaces offer extensive water views and are in pristine condition. The formal front entrance to the main house leads into the historic part of the home with a grand stair cased front hall, a small Victorian antechamber, and a traditional front parlor with 10' tin ceilings, beautiful wood floors, and large shuttered windows. A large formal dining room mirrors the same Victorian elegance while the butler's pantry makes a seamless transition to the recent expansion where a more informal tone is evident. A beautiful blend of function and design, this space includes an enviable gourmet kitchen, painted wood beamed ceilings , a large family dining area, as well as comfortable seating by a wood burning fireplace. All this is dramatically enhanced by the stunning water views from every window and French doors leading to one of the many wonderful outdoor decks. The expanse of decks from every level adds to the outdoor living space while enjoying complete privacy from the road. The family friendly second floor, with access from both the front and back staircases, has five bedrooms and three baths. The master bedroom includes wall-to-wall carpeting, a private bath, walk-in closet, and separate deck with uninterrupted views over the marsh and salt water inlet to the Reservation golf course beyond. The traditional Victorian widow's walk can be accessed from the second floor hallway by a narrow pine staircase. A walk-out basement, partially finished with a family room, half bath, and cedar closet, completes the very useable space of the distinctive family home. The addition of the Carriage House in 2006 greatly increased the value and versatility of this Victorian treasure. The two bedroom, 1-1/2 bath apartment, above the three car garage, makes a great in-law or income producing space. The familiar kitchen/dining/living room combination, with a gas fireplace and a similar expanse of windows and French doors leading to a full length deck, makes this addition remarkable. The location of this gracious Victorian lady offers the unique advantage of private waterfront living on scenic Eel Pond where one can kayak out to the Bay, walk to the town's Reservation Beach, or stroll to the village and town wharf. This Victorian lady is truly a delightful place to live the quintessential Cape Cod lifestyle.
