About this home
Welcome to Scorton Shores, one of Cape Cod's most sought-after beach communities. Imagine your new home, just a short five-minute walk to your new deeded beach. The house has been renovated within the last few years. The first floor has been thoughtfully redesigned into an open-concept floor plan, featuring a living area, dining area and kitchen. The stunning new kitchen features luxurious high-end appliances, custom cabinets and an oversized island. The living and dining area features wide plank flooring, recessed lighting and a Jotul gas stove, making it warm and inviting. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two newly renovated full baths complete with a designer's touch; including rain showers, a soaking tub and a class-enclosed shower. The lower level includes a laundry room with half-bath, family room and 2-car garage. Plenty of room in the garage for canoes, bikes, Kayak and of course a golf-cart. In the garage, a heated utility room was constructed to include a new hot water tank, new well holding tank, and two new filtration systems (one to regulate the pH and the other a water softener). Additionally, the house was newly re-sided with a fiber cement siding (Hardi Board), new soffits, new gutters and downspouts. Also, the house comes with a Kohler whole house generator.

Upper Cape, located between Buzzards Bay and Cape Cod Bay, is a coastal and village-centered Falmouth neighborhood with saltwater inlets and piney conservation land. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Main Street in Woods Hole, where ferry docks, marine labs, and compact storefronts set a working-harbor rhythm. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Woods Hole Science Aquarium act as cultural anchors, with The Knob adding a quiet shoreline counterpoint. Architecture leans toward shingled Cape cottages and weathered harbor-side buildings, with bikeable lanes linking beaches and ponds. Days track tides, ferry schedules, and the Shining Sea Bikeway’s steady flow. Small marinas and pocket parks keep the landscape open and maritime.
