This unusual, dare we say, almost tropical weather is pushing us to lie to ourselves about the cold months to come. Don’t let this light jacket weather fool you, winter is coming.

But in the meantime, we’re looking south to Cape Cod at 97 Old Mill Road in Osterville. Just minutes from Osterville Village and 1 mile from Dowse Beach, this coastal sanctuary lets you create your perfect day in Cape Town – or at least start planning it.

Captivating cedar shingles – of course – and over an acre of land, the property is a coastal retreat with plenty of room for vacations, extended family vacations, and any guests who might flock to you. With over 3,700 square feet, five bedrooms, three full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, you won’t be on top of each other. In fact, with the property’s spectacular outdoor space operating at full capacity, you might even miss these long-lost cousins.

In addition to a three-season sunroom wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, a formal dining room, and a cozy living room anchored by a stone fireplace, the property includes a treasure trove of outdoor living areas.

First, the crystal clear pool houses two cabanas. Then the covered porch, party-ready patios, and envious outdoor kitchen that includes a stone pizza oven, fire pit, and grill create a true outdoor oasis.

Selling the home, on the market for $2,990,000, is represented by Ellen Valentgas of Sotheby’s International Realty – Cape Cod, Osterville Brokerage, 508-648-5086.
