Luxury Home of the Week: A Barnstable island find with docks and a beach for $25 million
The island life can be yours — without the plane trip to the Caribbean — if you have $25,000,000.
An estate on Little Island in Osterville, at the head of an inlet to West Bay, has hit the market. It comes with two deep-water docks for boaters, a private beach for loungers, and enough square footage (3,315 square feet) to house several guests — those on the calendar, and even those that aren’t. (The current owners welcome boaters to tie up at their docks while they wait for the North Bay drawbridge to rise, according to the realtor.)
The main residence is flanked by a two-bedroom guesthouse, studio apartment, and boathouse, all of which are perfect for waterfront entertaining.
The estate at 227 Bridge St. in Barnstable dates to 1900 and offers six bedrooms in the main home. There are 6.5 baths in all on the property.
The property’s 1900s charm remains; exposed-brick is paired with stone and wood to create a vintage-but-chic look. The main house has two fireplaces, a wet bar, and a stone patio that runs abuts a sprawling lawn.
The guesthouse offers a slightly more retro look, accented by fixtures reminiscent of the 1940s and a deep red sink.
The studio apartment is elegantly nautical.
In the boathouse, a spiral wooden staircase connects the main level with a sitting area that has hardwood floors. The patio offers views of the water.
The 3.73-acre property also comes with a heated garage.
The Liz Bone team at South Shore Sotheby’s International Realty has the listing.
