We also have an outdoor fireplace with plenty of wood, and chairs and it is delightful to sit outside next to a warm fire and gaze at the star-filled night sky, with no lights anywhere in sight to hide your view !The kitchen is older but has been recently painted and is in very good condition and has been upgraded with a new refrigerator, microwave, electric stove and dishwasher, and includes Corian counters and a small built-in breakfast nook which can seat 4-5 people. The breakfast nook looks out from the front of the house, and faces east, so is quite pleasant in the mornings when the sun is pouring in. There is a new full size front load washer and dryer located just outside the kitchen. Coffee maker is drip, using round filters.There are four bedrooms, two have queen beds (master bedroom and front corner bedroom), a third bedroom has a double bed and the forth bedroom has a twin bed. All beds have new linens, pillows and lightweight comforters, and there are mattress toppers on all beds. There is room in the front corner bedroom to fit a foldaway cot, for an additional short term guest (2 cots located in closets). We also have a Graco Pack-and-Play portable crib which can sleep an infant or small toddler and a booster seat which can be attached to a dining room chair. There are two full bathrooms, one located off the master bedroom and the other off the hallway at the other end of the house where the other three bedrooms are located. Both baths are bright, clean, and have a tub and shower unit in addition to new fixtures. Bath towels, wash cloths and beach towels are all in good condition. The master bedroom, also newly painted, is located at one end of the house and is quite private from the rest of the house, and doors can be closed in such a way as to enhance the feeling of peace and quiet in this apartment-like part of the house. All hardwood floors throughout the house have been recently sanded and refinished, giving the house a bright and clean look. Exterior of the house has also been recently painted.There is a shed in the yard– though we do not clean it as it is not meant for anything more than storage…. And we also have a generator, in the event that power goes out for any reason.The land is gorgeous – the portion of the lot that the house is located on is level and raised from the street so there are views of the hills and valley across the street, and we have 4 Adirondack chairs and 4 chaise lounges for you to relax in, during the spring, summer and fall months. There is also a patio dining table and six chairs, as well as an umbrella available outside during the summer and fall. Our land also includes a field next door to the house, which goes up the hill and is a fun place to play and sled and snowshoe in the wintertime. (We provide 6-8 small plastic sleds for your use). The land also continues across the street, where there is another field to explore, and which abuts a marshy area.We have cleared a path on our land, through the woods, for access to a river which runs along the border of the property – a lovely place to sit, watch and listen to the rushing water as it flows through the woods and down the hill. (Path starts between the two large evergreen trees at the eastern edge of the yard).Our house is simple, comfortable and an ideal rental for one, two or three couples or extended families, who love nature but enjoy the advantages of being very close to both cultural and all types of outdoor recreational activities. Also ideal for larger family get-togethers or celebrations, due to the configuration of the land and the private but convenient location.If you like Cape Cod and beachfront property, please visit our other rental property listings, Homeaway listing # 976979 (3 bedroom 2 bath Truro house with a 2 minute walk to a private bayside beach), listing # 4457935 (5 bedroom cottage on Pamet River in Truro, near Corn Hill beach) and listing #3506195 (one bedroom seasonal beachfront cottage on the bayside in North Truro).
