4 & 6 Marsh Ln Orleans, MA 02653

These two distinctly different, singularly wonderful year-round homes share a private acre-plus lot Pochet Association. Private access to iconic Nauset Beach and The Atlantic via the Pochet Bridge, which includes a dedicated parking area for association members. The main house overlooks the marsh and inlet and abuts conservation land, a peaceful retreat in a serene, natural and utterly private setting. Enjoy idyllic views and get acquainted with the local fauna or bask in the sunshine in total privacy from the wraparound mahogany deck. Birders will marvel at the endless avian activity and dog owners will value the fenced yard. The home has been lovingly restored with an eye towards the original cottage rusticity yet it provides complete modern functionality, technology and efficiency. The great room's charming v-groove pine walls, stone fireplace, sleeping loft and beamed, cathedral beadboard ceilings evoke the nostalgia of bygone summers. The kitchen is efficient and updated, the spacious primary bedroom features a gas fireplace. Newer gas HVAC, on-demand hot water, security system and a hard wired generator. More Remarks The second dwelling with its own address of 4 Marsh Lane is wonderfully separated from the main house and offers a completely different aesthetic. It was constructed in 2014 and comprises the oversized garage and the second floor legal accessory apartment. The garage has more than enough space for two cars plus a motorcycle, kayaks, bikes, etc. There is a work sink for the hobbyist and hard wiring for electronic vehicle charging. The 22 panel solar array produces power for both dwellings (the excess production for the garage / apartment is automatically credited to the home) and yields a quarterly SREC check. The average of the last 4 quarterly payments was $465 each. The apartment has a solar friendly heat pump and AC, wood floors, AC, Rinnai hot water, a spacious full bath and a balcony with marsh views. Currently used as a private full-time home office with hard-wired ethernet, it would also make a lovely longterm living situation for an adult child or a caregiver, a superb space for extended guests or a lucrative year-round or shorter term rental (90 days minimum)rental that would not intrude on the main house whatsoever.
This property is unique, impeccable and needs nothing.
Note: Square footage and bedroom and bath count are for the two dwellings combined: The house is a 3br/1.5ba and1456 sq ft.
Garage apartment is a 1br/1ba and 800 sq ft.
