2 Bay View Rd

Sobre este imóvel

Funny how we never know we're living the good old days until they've slipped away. Those endless Cape Cod summers when the days began with a walk on the flats and ended only when everyone finally came inside. When the house was always full, the screen door never stopped slamming, and no one thought twice about one more cousin at the table or another sleeping bag tucked wherever there was room. Mornings turned into beach days almost without a plan. PB&Js were lined up across the counter, coolers packed, bicycles abandoned in the clamshell driveway and everyone headed down the road carrying far too much. Hours disappeared out on the flats, where the tide uncovered a new world every day and children came home with buckets full of shells, hermit crabs and treasures only they understood. The towels went on the line, bathing suits never quite lost their salt, and the outdoor shower was worth waiting your turn for. Late afternoons had their own rhythm. Fish caught that day were cleaned on the old stone out back. Corn needed shucking, peas from Grandpa's garden needed shelling, and somewhere in the background was the ballgame, the hum of the lawnmower, mothers laughing and children still squeezing every last minute out of the day. Then came the cowbell from the back porch.Dinner. Another chair was pulled up. Stories were told that everyone had heard a hundred times and somehow still wanted to hear again. Later came the old puzzles, the Monopoly games that never seemed to end and the same deck of cards with the same bent corners. Nobody called it making memories; it was our summertime.And all these years later, we would give almost anything for one more of those days. Perhaps that is why 2 Bay View Road tugs at you. Hidden among the pines in the Bayview Beach enclave of Dennis Village is something increasingly rare: more than an acre of private land, a home built for gathering, and at the end of the road, the boardwalk to beautiful Bayview Beach. There is a moment when you come through the trees and the property reveals itself--lawn and hydrangeas, shade and sunshine, and that wonderful sense of being tucked away from the world even though the beach is only steps away. It doesn't take much imagination to see summer unfolding here. Bare feet across the grass. Beach chairs left wherever somebody dropped them. Towels over the line. A cold drink under the covered patio after a long day in the sun. Children racing to be first into the outdoor shower.
