You've worked hard. The Cape house ought to be the easy part. At this remarkable ranch, the renovations are done, the details are thoughtful, and the next project can be deciding which beach to visitpletely renovated with a nautical nod and an understated coastal feel, this home offers the ease of one-floor living without sacrificing character. Sunlight streams through all new windows onto gleaming hardwood floors. The living room's gas fireplace, handsome mantel and generous bump-out window make it as inviting on a winter afternoon as on a summer morning, while custom built-in window treatments add a beautifully finished touch. The high-end chef's kitchen is a standout, with tall cabinetry, exceptional storage and room to enjoy the company of whoever wanders in. Cathedral ceilings over the kitchen and dining area create a bright, expansive feeling, with beams adding warmth and character. An impressive eight-foot slider draws your eye outside and opens to a backyard that feels like its own little escape. A new composite deck with a ramp leads to a paver patio and a built-in natural-gas fire pit. Neighboring fences provide privacy on either side, While open space beyond gives you the feeling of a much larger yard without all the upkeep. A handsome new shed keeps beach chairs, gardening supplies and outdoor essentials neatly tucked away. Renovated baths, wide hallways and wheelchair-friendly features make everyday living comfortable. A laundry/mudroom with a generous pantry and interior access to the one-car garage keeps everything handy. Downstairs, the beautifully finished lower level features shiplap detailing, a spacious family room, a TV and bar area, exercise space, and room for cards, games and rainy-day visits, along with an abundance of closets. Behind all that pretty are new heating and air conditioning, a whole-house Generac generator and a brand-new roof. These owners renovated with the intention of staying, and it shows. The neighborhood deserves its own introduction. Individually designed homes, evident pride of ownership and a casual neighborhood association give it an established, welcoming feel. With no through route, it's a place people come home to, just off the walking path and a block from Johnny Kelley Recreation Area, with its Braille trail, tennis courts and sports fields. Both Dennis public golf courses, Bass River and the Cape Cod Rail Trail are nearby, and you're roughly halfway between Mayflower Beach on the north side and West Dennis Beach on the south. Shopping, dining, entertainment, Town Hall and highway access are all close at hand. Yet at home, you feel tucked away from it alle unpack. Put something cold on ice, pull up the Adirondack chair. There's a seat by the fire pit waiting.
