About this home
DIRECT WATERFRONT. PANORAMIC VIEWS. COMPLETELY RENOVATED. Rarely does a waterfront property offer direct access to the water, panoramic Mattapoisett Harbor and Buzzards Bay views, and a completely renovated home that sits at ground level rather than elevated on stilts. Set along Shell Beach, 8 Dyar Road is a pristine 3-bedroom, 2-full bath home designed to embrace its spectacular coastal setting. The “upside-down” floor plan features 3 bedrooms and a full bath on the ground level, while the extraordinary 2nd floor showcases a soaring vaulted ceiling and open-concept living, dining and kitchen area with a 2nd full bath. Walls of windows capture the ever-changing harbor and Buzzards Bay views, while the waterside composite deck is an exceptional setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining, entertaining, watching boats and marine life, or enjoying spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Completely renovated with an emphasis on quality, longevity and efficiency, the home features LP SmartSide lap siding, 50-year Alaskan yellow cedar shingles and a state-of-the-art WaterFurnace Series 7 geothermal system for heating and cooling. An owned (no lease!) SolarEdge solar system generated approximately $5,000 worth of electricity over the past 12 months, with surplus production. A GeoFlow FAST wastewater treatment system provides advanced onsite wastewater management. The nearly quarter-acre property extends toward the water, with a front lawn rolling gently to the edge of Shell Beach. New landscaping enhances the setting, with additional space for gardens and recreation, plus the potential for a large patio beneath the elevated deck. A newly renovated 200-square-foot outbuilding adds versatility, with 2x6 construction, insulation, heating, shiplap finishes and attic storage. Ideal as a home office, studio, workshop or guest overflow space. The homeowner plans to transfer a mooring with the sale, subject to applicable approvals, offering the rare convenience of keeping a boat close at hand. Newly renovated and nearing completion, all remaining finishing touches will be completed prior to conveyance. This is a rare opportunity to own a turn-key waterfront home where the setting is as exceptional as the renovation. Wake to panoramic harbor views, step outside to the water, and make 8 Dyar Road your year-round retreat on Mattapoisett Harbor.

Tucked away with a soft sandy beach in a secluded corner of Mattapoisett Neck, this charming Cape style home offers a serene, beautiful setting overlooking the outer Harbor, Cape and Islands beyond. The path to the deeded beach beckons the moment you enter the drive. The home's main floor is an open living / dining / kitchen area with sliders to the rear deck, and compelling views from every angle! The wood burning stove will warm a cozy evening spent gazing at the sea and stars. With southerly exposure, the vaulted second floor master boasts a gas fireplace, sitting area and Palladian windows for expansive views across the water. The guest room is a whimsical haven for adults and children with twin beds, a sleeping loft and bold water views. The first floor den could readily be re-purpose to be a bedroom again if needed, using the first floor full bath. Stroll through colorful perennial beds to the beach, relish the outdoor shower. All create an easy care lifestyle on the water.
