Set amid lush landscaping and natural privacy on .8 acres, this distinctive contemporary Cape Cod offers warmth, character, and a sense of place rarely found in a home of this era. Originally built in 1958 by renowned local builder Ted Rauch for his family, the home reflects a level of craftsmanship and individuality that is increasingly hard to find. Warm hardwood floors, a welcoming foyer, and a light-filled sunken living room with fireplace create an inviting first impression, while the vaulted, wood-beamed family room becomes the heart of the home, opening to a generous deck and courtyard. A first-floor owners suite, main-level study, charming cottage-style kitchen with expansion potential into the adjoining dining area with fireplace add comfort and personality, while delightful surprises - including built-in bunk beds and a second-level den/sixth bedroom - make the home feel truly one of a kind. The tiered, flat rear yard and expansive sports/tennis court create additional room to play, gather, garden or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. With a heated three-car garage, abundant storage, and a massive unfinished lower level plumbed for a bath and ready to become whatever the next owner imagines. For those who value character over cookie-cutter, this is a home ready to reflect your own modern aesthetic.
