About this home

Set on over half an acre in desirable Wilbur’s Point, this coastal home captures expansive views of Buzzards Bay from almost every room. Oversized windows, sliding glass doors, and multiple decks keep the water ever present, with views of passing boats, colorful sunsets, and the changing light across the Bay. The main level features an open living and dining area adjoining the kitchen, with a wall of glass framing the water beyond. A new composite deck and retractable awning extends the living space outdoors, creating an ideal setting for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the view. Also on this level is a bedroom and full bath with laundry closet, offering flexibility for guests, a home office, or single level living. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings, panoramic water views, and a private deck overlooking the Bay. A second full bath with double vanity completes this level. Below the main floor, additional walk-out space provides flexibility for a gym, playroom or media room. A sampling of recent improvements include a high-efficiency on-demand heating system, backup generator and a new septic system installed in 2023. An attached two-car garage, outdoor shower, generous yard, and nearby beach access further enhance the property. Swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, biking, and scenic walks are all part of the lifestyle here. With remarkable water views, versatile living space, and easy access to the coast, this home offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the South Coast year-round.
