Enjoy expansive views of Cape Cod Bay and Great Island from our 2-level deck as well as from the open kitchen/living room. Our lovely 4 bedroom house with 3 full baths and one half-bath is located high atop Nauhaught Bluff, on a dead-end street, in a quiet woodsy neighborhood, and a 2-minute walk to a quiet bay beach. The separate modern 4th bedroom suite was newly constructed in 2023 over the 2-car garage. It has a bright cheerful open plan with high vaulted ceilings, many windows, great views, and full bath, walk in closet and TV sitting area.
The sunset views from the deck are spectacular. There is air conditioning via heat pump, in all bedrooms and living room. There's also a cozy front deck with a table, chairs and umbrella to sip your coffee in the morning sun or to appreciate the shade at day's end. The back deck faces south with views of the bay through the trees. A pergola helps to shade the outside dining table that can accommodate 8 people for wam summer meals al fresco. The upper part of the deck has a sturdy large sun umbrella, a couple of chaise lounges, and side table.
The house is very centrally located, close to Rt. 6, (but not too close — it’s very quiet here) and to Wellfleet Center that you can walk to at lower tides along a lovely beach to town. Restaurants, shops, and all the magnificent renown Wellfleet beaches with their high dunes and long stretches of beach are part of the National Seashore. All 4 of them are a short drive by car. Twenty miles north is Provincetown, and south of Well-fleet are Eastham and Orleans. All are wonderful towns to explore. Wellfleet boasts its many pristine “kettle ponds” with clear fresh water, great for swimming, relaxing, kayaking, stand-off-up boarding, etc.
This “upside down” house was designed to showcase the wonderful views from the upstairs open kitchen/living/dining area. 3 of the 4 bedrooms are on the ground floor. The newly completed new construction of the 4th bedroom suite is above the garage. This suite is artfully designed in a modern bright open space with high vaulted ceilings, many windows, a Juliet balcony, full bathroom with walk-in shower and vanity with 2 sinks, and a roomy walk-in closet. A small half wall separates the Queen bed area from the sitting area with couch, TV, desk and chairs. This addition is connected to the main house via sliding glass doors and a set of stairs, so it is very private.
Downstairs on the ground level in the main house are 3 bedrooms: 1 Queen bedroom with 3 windows, closet, 2 bedside tables and dresser; one bedroom with 2 twin beds which can convert to a King bed by pushing the twins together, with 2 windows, closet, night table and large armoir. In the hall is a full bathroom with walk-in shower and vanity. The third bedroom is also a suite with en suite tub/shower, toilet, vanity, lots of mirrors, 2 closets, bureaus, and a screened porch attached through sliding glass doors facing the bay. On this floor there is also the laundry room with washer and dryer, sink, and many hooks to hang wet towels or laundry items.
The outside shower is located on a small yard with clothesline, accessible from the garage or from the front door. The original owners built a curved “meditation bench” along one side of the house close to the backyard. The backyard is “natural”, with many wildflowers growing and several rose bushes. You are welcome to use the 2-car garage. There is plenty of parking on the driveway for several more cars.
Our family purchased this wonderful, unusual contemporary home in the fall of 2016, after decades of renting a variety of homes here, fulfilling a 40-year dream of owning a home in Wellfleet. We couldn’t be happier here as we expect you will too!
Upstairs is the large open kitchen, dining area and living space with hardwood floors. Two sets of sliding glass doors open to the two-tiered deck facing southwest to the Bay. The half-acre lot is surrounded by trees with views that feel as if you're in a treehouse! The fully-equipped kitchen is huge with lots of counter space. Those who love to cook appreciate how well-outfitted the kitchen is! There's a separate large walk-in pantry as well. The high-pitched ceiling with rafters and many windows and sky lights contribute to the bright open feel. There’s a half-bath also.
The cozy corner in the living room area has a with Flat-screen TV and fireplace and a comfy L-shaped couch which opens up to an additional Queen bed.
Many other amenities include a roomy outdoor shower, “mini-split” air conditioning units (and heat) in each bedroom, the lower hallway and upstairs. Outside is a quiet benched sitting area under trees. And, it's just a 2 minute walk to the beach on a deeded path. You walk down the driveway and take a right on the paved road around the corner then the deeded path alongside a house, #131 Naughaught Bluff Road to the beach. The beach is ok for swimming in higher tides, but it's more of a walking beach than a swimming beach. There are wonderful long beach walks in both directions.
One of the great walks from the house is to Wellfleet Center along the beach, through a forested path, then across Uncle Tim's Bridge to Wellfleet Center with all its quaint galleries, restaurants and shops. This walk takes about 25 minutes each way. Make sure to avoid high tide, as the tides can come high enough to cover the beach path. But as long as it's an hour before and after high tide, you'd be okay.
There's no end of activities available to you -- from the four beautiful ocean beaches to the many freshwater sandy-bottomed kettle ponds, bay beaches, many hiking trails, kayaking, surfing, relaxing. Bicyclers enjoy the popular ''rail trail'' a paved flat trail that runs from West Dennis to Wellfleet, And of course the wonderful local fresh fish to grill at the house, or to enjoy at many of the area’s restaurants.
