About This Home

As of December 2024

70 Sears Point is a rare legacy property where Cape Cod history meets breathtaking beauty. Set on the bend of Oyster Pond River, and overlooking Stage Harbor, this generational estate offers 270-degree views, including the iconic Stage Harbor Lighthouse and the Atlantic beyond. Designed by Edward Sears Read, grandson of the renowned Willard T. Sears, and completed in 1940, this home harmoniously merges historical sophistication with modern craftsmanship. Antique wood paneling from 1600s Salem, and a nautical-inspired design, with the primary suite positioned like a ship's aft, create a unique treasure. The suite's balcony provides a secluded retreat and perfect perch for panoramic sunsets. The 'wheelhouse' below offers the perfect setting for evening cocktails, while additional living quarters provide space for family or guests. Set on over 200 feet of saltwater frontage with a private beach and licensed dock, the property invites invites you to connect with land and sea.
