Breath taking water views & sunsets, a most appealing ambience throughout home

Breath taking water views & sunsets, a most appealing ambience throughout homeWith amazing water views (some of best on Cape) this wonderfully comfortable house is lovingly furnished (Persian rugs, antiques, authentic cottage furniture, custom made coaches, chairs, day bed,and stuffed rocking chairs) and as such has a unique ambiance. Unlike the typically constructed house, Windswept is a post and beam structure (all wood inside and out) that is also an incredibly bright/light home. In addition the homeowners wanted a house that was a quintessential cape cod house from the street side view but wanted much glass on the water side of the house to to take advantage of the amazing views. It has an open floor plan (but also with niches and crannies), 15 ft. cathedral ceilings and enormous numbers of 6 ft by 6 ft windows showcase the amazing panoramic water views and spectacular sunsets. The living area is essentially a huge screened porch (if the gliders are open and the A/C off).This house provides it all. You need only bring yourself and your own personal items as Windswept is totally set up for you to start your vacation from the moment you arrive. No making beds,lugging beach gear,or anything else for that matter. Only SHED LESS dogs are permitted.At high tide, you look right …out at a mesmerizing view of sailboats, skiers, and other watercraft… whether the sea is calm or in a there is ”chop”. At low tide, you will be struck by the plethora of amazing flocks of water foul (not to mention more than a few oyster gatherers). Windswept’s view is looking out toward Great Island.Windswept is close to many of Wellfeet’s ocean, bay, and pond beaches, including its own. There are more bay , ocean, and pond beaches in Wellfleet nearby…more than any other town on the cape.Windswept is within biking distance (less than a mile) of the entrance to the Cape Cod Bike Trail and about as far in the other direction to the largest Audubon Society in Massachusetts.

There are the Shakespeare performances, nightly concerts, poetry readings, historical lectures, book signings, and much more.The Windswept home itself has a very large open living space (LR, DR, and kitchen.)

All floors are covered with authentic Oriental Persian rugs or hand made area rugs.In the sitting/dining room there is a huge (4 seater) coach, a day bed, Morris chair, platform rocker, and Bose music system. This room also has a claw and ball antique table that can seat from 6 to 14 people depending on your needs. Unless watching TV or needing different rooms for different clusters of family members, this is ”everyone’s” favorite living space.The LR also has many gliders and has equally fabulous water views. It has a seating arrangement that has 2 coaches, a large matching stuffed chair and a rocking chair. This room has the upstairs TV with an extensive cable subscription.The new (2012) gourmet kitchen has hand made wooden counter tops, custom built shaker style cabinets made of white ash, a huge island with recycle bins, new commercial grade stainless steel appliances (gas stove), and a lovely new slate floor. ( The woodworker is hoping the kitchen will be written up in Fine Home Building Magazine as was the bathroom he did for us a couple of years ago.) The amazing lighting artwork/ fixtures in the kitchen is the signature piece of the kitchen. The kitchen is provisioned for even the most sophisticated gourmet cook (between the pots and pans, baking dishes, every gadget imaginable, and more spices than you could imagine.In both primary living spaces, you will feel like you are sitting right ”on top” of the bay.There is a new double room outdoor enclosed shower with a dressing suite as well.
