27 Beach Plum LaneEastham, MA 02642Sale Price: $880,000

Named for the wild edible which grows along its sandy margins, Beach Plum Lane is a most sought-after setting for this 3BR/1BA ''keeper'' that has been in the same family since 1965. Just 3 lots distant from the Bay this home was originally built as a 2-bedroom cottage, but a lovely 1999 addition brought an updated kitchen w/tile flooring, quality Andersen windows, a generous 13x16 living room w/slider to an airy screened porch, and most significantly a spacious 2nd floor primary bedroom w/slider to a private deck--which retains a slight peek of the Bay. An idyllic shaded path from the northwest corner of the lot is just moments to a postcard-worthy beach, which should please even the most ardent thalassophile. An almost indescribable feeling of well-being seems to emanate from this home: the large 12x17 dining area has a wood-burning fireplace for cozy ambience, and a bright picture window to frame the world outside; a full bath is flanked by 2 restful bedrooms, each mirroring the other; hardwood floors exist throughout. The full basement has a 13x15 sectioned area which could be converted to further increase living space. There's even a 2nd shower (yes, in the basement) as well as a walkout for convenient ingress/egress. In addition to its wonderful Bay access the home enjoys 2 important location advantages: as part of the Sherry Durling subdivision a 40-foot swath of land abuts to its west. Colloquially referred to as a "paper" road, this unbuildable strip provides privacy and added separation from adjacent properties; as the penultimate home on Beach Plum Lane it experiences less foot and vehicular travel (and less dust) than neighboring addresses...From its wonderful Bay access and beach proximity, to its lovely addition and feel-good interior, 27 Beach Plum Lane could be the start of a most excellent chapter in your family's Eastham history...Happy house hunting!
