Golf. Woodworking. Weights. Swimming. Cape Cod. Call it an idyll for the idle.
These are some of the possibilities for the next owner of this condo in the sprawling Southport on Cape Cod, an over-55 development in Mashpee with 749 units.
For those who want to work less and play more, there are amenities galore, including living on a golf course, and access to indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and scenic walking trails.

Entering the attached home from the enclosed, one-car garage leads to the 14-foot-long foyer, which contains the stairwell to the lower level.
Taking a few steps ahead leads to the heart of the home, which is as white as the snow during and after last month’s blizzard. The open floor plan combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas into one space with white walls featuring wainscoting, white ceilings, and honey blonde hardwood floors.
The 130-square-foot kitchen is first, and it’s lined with two layers of raised white panel cabinets, and an island sitting atop a white cabinet with decorative crown molding. Some appliances are charcoal black, including the electric range. Countertops are granite, and the island has an overhang with seating for two. The undermounted sink sits underneath windows, and the tile backsplash has a herringbone design.

The 174-square-foot dining area follows, and the ceiling makes way for it, rising from flat to peaked. Dripping down is a chandelier with four lamps. The exterior wall opens for a matched set of plate glass windows along with an arched transom window.
Curves are the design choice in the 276-square-foot living room, where they adorn the built-in shelving with five bays resting alongside the gas fireplace with a white mantle. Directly opposite, the exterior wall has a triple window with white frames and plate glass. Clear glass sliders open to the 179-square-foot private deck.
The primary suite is reached through a door off the kitchen space. The bedroom is 202 square feet, and has a total of three windows on two exterior walls. The walls are painted a calming gray while the ceiling remains white, allowing a lighted ceiling fan to stand out visually. There is crown molding and more of the honey-toned hardwood flooring. The walk-in closet is 43 square feet.
The attached 52-square-foot bathroom features a dark-toned vanity with a granite countertop, brass fixtures, and a tower rack. The wallpaper has the appearance of white birch trees, and the flooring is tile. The bath has a shower with a clear glass door, tile backsplash, and brass pulls. Next to the shower is stacked laundry appliances.

The second bedroom is accessed from the foyer, as is a second full bath. It’s 40 square feet, and has a single vanity and a shower/bath combination. A linen closet is on the left just before entering the bath. The bedroom is 157 square feet and has light gray carpeting, two large plate glass windows, and a ceiling fan.
The lower level is fully finished with an eye toward entertaining with a 77-square-foot wet bar and nearby wine refrigerator and bottle rack. This blends into the carpeted 476-square-foot family room underneath white coffered ceilings with recessed lighting, two above-ground windows, and a clear glass slider to the backyard.
It’s often assumed that those living in a 55-and-over development are retired, making a home office unnecessary. Assumptions are often wrong, and this condo has a 164-square-foot office behind a pair of white French doors as proof. There are two above-ground windows, the coffered ceiling, and large white built-in shelves.
There is a 56-square-foot full bath with a single vanity and shower behind a curtain that sits next to a 159-square-foot room that could serve as a bedroom.
In addition to a monthly condo fee, the homeowner pays utilities, including for central air conditioning and forced hot air heat by gas.
