This is The Crown Jewel of Osterville; the last grand property which has not been subdivided (although there is substantial acreage - 5.2 - to do so) It offers a grand house built in the early 1800's with 9 bedrooms, 8 baths, numerous sitting rooms/libraries with fireplaces (7), a grand dining room, servants quarters; all overlooking West Bay, Osterville Harbor and Eel River. The views and the sunsets are spectacular. There is a 100 foot dock with 6 feet at low tide. It can accommodate 8-10 boats. There is also a boathouse at water's edge and a sandy beach. The separate workshop is used to maintain and build boats. There is a one car garage at ground level and a two car garage underneath. The grounds are spectacular and the location is one of the most desireable on Cape Cod.
