About this home
Nestled in the sought-after Captains Village neighborhood of South Yarmouth, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath ranch offers a rare combination of character and versatility. Gleaming hardwood floors set the tone in the spacious living and dining area, while the large eat-in kitchen — featuring stainless steel appliances and a center island — provides an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. A heated, year-round sunporch extends the living space through every season, and the private, fenced yard delivers an exceptional outdoor experience, complete with a fire pit, outdoor shower, and a mature Japanese maple offering natural shade and privacy. Additional space in the heated basement and garage offers excellent flexibility for storage, hobbies, or a home workshop. A distinctive property offering timeless character and thoughtful updates in one of South Yarmouth's most desirable neighborhoods.
Captain's Hill, located between Route 28 and Lewis Bay, is a coastal and residential Yarmouth neighborhood with salt-air views and winding, pine-lined lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 28 corridor near the Bass River Bridge, where marinas, seafood shacks, and dockside storefronts set a working-waterfront tone. Architecture leans Cape Cod—shingled cottages, low-slung ranches, and a few larger harbor-facing homes tucked behind stone walls. Short walks lead to beaches and calm inlets, with boat traffic and gull calls as the daily soundtrack. Nearby cultural anchors like the Cape Cod Inflatable Park, Whydah Pirate Museum, and the Cape Cod Maritime Museum add year-round texture.
