Hot Property: Barnstable home ready for year-round living

Is it too soon to start daydreaming about long, sun-soaked days on the beach and salty air?

Absolutely not. With sunsets creeping past 7 p.m. from now — until September! — planning for summer feels perfectly appropriate and even necessary.

So let’s go down the Cape, to Barnstable and the heart of Barnstable Village. Here, a postcard-perfect 1890s home with water views has been lovingly maintained and updated to both preserve its shingle-clad charm and meet the needs of modern families looking for a comfortable retreat.

Suitable for year-round living — the home comes equipped with a full house generator and central air-conditioning — 2681 Main St. provides a refuge for families looking to get away from it all or those looking to spend unforgettable summers with guests and loved ones.

The property enjoys an unbeatable location close to Millway Beach, the marina, conservation land and local dining spots, offering up plenty of things to do nearby. Don’t feel like leaving? The home’s inviting, open floor plan, all-season window-wrapped sun porch, patio and lush lawn provide a restful backdrop to lazy breakfasts and weekend cookouts.

Standouts in the home include a chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances, accessible to the sun porch and a dining room for more formal affairs. A fireplaced living room and adjoining library nook flow from the dining room, with a suite of built-ins to hold books and treasures.

There are four bedrooms — one on the first floor with its own bath and three bedrooms on the second floor, including the primary suite.

But how much room is there, exactly? With more than 3,200 square feet inside and a one-acre lot — a lot!
