Owners Share Why I Love My Home: Our desire when purchasing our piece of Cape Cod was two-fold.  Find a peaceful tranquil setting yet be perfectly positioned to explore all the Cape has to offer.  Our year-long search finally ended when we discovered Hawksnest Hideaway.  It's mid-cape location allows easy access to all points on the Cape.  Beaches, shops, restaurants, ferries are all at our doorstep.  Even the farthest reaches of the Cape are within a 45 minute drive.   Despite the central location Hawksnest Hideaway is our refuge of peace and tranquility as it borders a 245 acre oasis called Hawksnest State Park- abundant with nature, miles of walking trails and pristine kettle ponds.  We are very fortunate to own Hawksnet Hideaway. Let Us Tell You About This Home: Approach this home through the quiet neighborhood where it is nestled - abutting Hawksnest State Park and amongst numerous Cape kettle ponds that provide the endless enjoyment of freshwater swimming and kayaking. Plenty of parking in front of the garage and also on the auxiliary driveway to the left of the home. Feel the welcoming nature of Hawksnest Hideaway even before you enter due to the caring accents the homeowners have lovingly curated for their guests.

And adjacent/open to the dining area is the spacious kitchen - bathed in natural light from the oversized skylight above and featuring modern appliances (refrigerator provides both water and ice!), an impressive industrial sized sink with extensive depth, every smaller appliance the homeowners could think to provide (additional, less used items are stored in the lower level to save counter space) and a fabulous "L" shaped island facing out to the living and dining areas that serves as both extra preparation space or a work/dining space since it includes two chairs. The open floorplan in this home provides endless opportunities for guests to remain connected with each other while creating memorable moments!  Exit the home through the sliding glass door in the dining room and step down into the enclosed porch which acts as an enviable three season room and additional gathering space.
