795 Hay RoadEastham, MA 02642Price: $849,000

Down a winding lane in Eastham - around the corner from First Encounter Beach and the Cape Cod Rail Trail - sits a home that exudes Outer Cape authenticity, a quintessential Eastham summer location. Custom built with rare hardwoods throughout, 795 Hay Road is perched on a hill, with cedar siding weathered to a classic Cape patina and a private deck and patio made for outdoor living. Inside, the front sitting and dining room is anchored by a wood stove and brick surround, then opens into a vaulted great room where a wall of windows and solid redwood form the visual centerpiece - awash in light and connected to kitchen and deck. A first-floor bedroom and bath offer easy living; upstairs, a loft and two bedrooms with a bath. Below, an open-concept lower level with a solarium-style built-in jacuzzi adds character and fun. The driveway and yard leave room for the boat and summer gear, with a separate outbuilding for space to grow, set against Japanese maples and freshly rebuilt retaining walls. Just moments from Herring Pond and close to the shops and restaurants that make Eastham a summer favorite - this is Outer Cape living at its finest, a world away yet close to everything!
