298 Cranview Road

Description

If you like quiet and privacy, off the road, this is the location for you! Not your typical Cape Cod location! Wonderfully set-back and backs up to 800 + acres of The Punkhorn Parklands Conservation area, yet is 10 minutes from shopping on Route 134, and Brewster or Dennis villageshops. Sesuit Harbor and the Dennis and Brewster beaches are just few miles either way. One half mile in on woodsy Cranview Road, drive the extra-long, private driveway to picturesque, natural surroundings with not another home in sight, yet neighbors are close by at the top of the driveway. Landscaping is mostly natural, with areas of many perennial plantings and flowers and organic vegetable gardens-even a concord grape vine, blueberry bush and a couple raspberry younglings. On the high spot of the property, sits a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, over 2300 square foot Contemporary Cape on 1.14 acres that feels like 100 acres. You are part of a small community, the Early Black BogAssociation, with rights to a walking trail from the top of your driveway down to Elbow Pond. The home, finished in May of 1999, has had several updates in the last 6 years - new 4 bedroom leach field and distribution box-August, 2024, newer well head and motor; central-vac tank, motor, hoses and accessories (2023), all appliances; upstairs carpet, 2nd floor window treatments, oil-fired Weil-McLean hot water heater (2020), new double-walled oil tank, (Beckett furnace replaced 2010), all needed AZEC replacement of the outside trim and front window encasement, and all repainted (2022). The home was built with 2 x 6 construction throughout, helping heating efficiency/cost and silencing any storms outside. A MA Save energy audit suggested additional insulation in attic and was completed Fall, 2023. The common entry, just past a large rock wall dividing the front yard from the driveway, is through the tiled mudroom and next to the two-car, oversized attached garage. Behind the mudroom is a large pantry about 5 x 8'. Walk up 5 steps to the main level front hallway with cathedral ceiling, coat closet, powder room, front door and large opening to the great room. All oak floors on first floor and tiled powder room. Includes a lovely and light kitchen, 12 x 20, also opening to the great room from the rear of the kitchen. The eat-in kitchen is bright with plenty of white cabinets, stainless appliances, a peninsula breakfast bar, and sitting area, or could be a place for a dining table; a 6' slider to the 12 x 24 back deck overlooking the fenced in back yard, conservation and pure nature. The balance of the first floor includes a very inviting, front to back 14 x 34' great room with brick fireplace and bluestone mantel, and an alternative heat woodstove that can stay with the home if desired. There are oversized Anderson, removeable pane windows in the entire house, which adds to the ambiance of openness and light. Above the fireplace at the rear end of the great room is a cathedral ceiling with a ceiling fan, open to a loft on the 2nd floor. Take a short (8 step) stairway from the front hallway to level two. At the top is a convenient laundry area with shuttered doors. To your right is the extra-large, 15 x 23, master bedroom with his and her walk-in closets (hers is much larger than his at 6 x 12', his 6 x 5'). The master has a 10' high tray ceiling, ceiling fan and French door to a large upper deck big enough for a hammock or a couple chairs. A special and relaxing place for a wonderful view of the woods. The master bath, 10 x 12', with high ceiling, has large, double, solid surface sinks, white cabinets, a tile-sided 6' Jacuzzi, large, separate walk-in shower and newer tiled floor. The master is truly a place to get away from it all. Back to the 2nd level hallway, with high ceilings, take 4 more steps up to the highest level which includes two more large, 14 x 15' and 12 x 15' bedrooms. One has a full wall closet and the other has two closets. To complete the 2nd floor, there is another full
