Set on one of Cotuit’s most coveted addresses, this antique residence offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of village history—just steps to the sandy shoreline of Cotuit Bay. Originally part of the historic Pines Hotel, this circa 1842 home carries with it a legacy of Cape Cod’s early coastal charm, when summers were simpler, and the rhythm of life followed the tides. Set on approximately .32 acres along Ocean View Avenue—widely regarded as the premier address in Cotuit—the property is defined by what cannot be duplicated: location, proximity to water, and a sense of place that has endured for nearly two centuries. There are three bedrooms, three baths and multiple living areas encompassing nearly 2,000 square feet, framed by a serene and perfect yard that will carry you away. Just a short stroll, where Cross Street meets the bay, lies a quiet stretch of sugar sand beach along the calm, protected waters of Cotuit Bay. Please verify all information contained herein.
