This $16 Million Beachfront Residence in Cape Cod Overlooks the Nantucket Sound
The picturesque peninsula of Cape Cod in Massachusetts is known for its coastal charm, seaside towns, and sandy beaches, as well as its impressive high-end real estate.
Just 90 miles east of Boston, Cape Cod has plenty of historic mansions and oceanfront homes, but there are few development opportunities here, and real estate goes quickly. That’s why this $16 million home on Sea View Avenue, the second-most-expensive home currently listed on Cape Cod, is so rare.

Located in the village of Osterville, the beachfront home is situated on a 1.56-acre parcel with a white sandy beach overlooking the Nantucket Sound. It was originally built in 1975 and was completely renovated in 2019. The transformation was stark and opened up each room to encapsulate the dramatic New England views.
The home spans 4,254 square feet with six bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and one half bathroom. With white walls, floors, and vaulted wood ceilings, each room feels bright and airy. The quintessential New England charm is enhanced by nautical-themed wallpaper, and all the white slip-covered furnishings and seaside color accents give the house a relaxed, beachy vibe.
Perhaps the most dramatic design element of the house is the glass walls that allow each room on the first level to look directly out onto the beach. The glass windows, paired with the classic New England shingle-style exterior, make this home stand out along the beach.
The main level houses the spacious living room, dining room, sitting room, and kitchen with a breakfast nook—all of which overlook the water. There are also four charming decks, one on each side of the home, and an outdoor shower to rinse off after a refreshing dip in the ocean.
Upstairs, four bedrooms are filled with light. One wing of the house is dedicated to the primary bedroom and bathroom, and three of the four bedrooms on this level connect to the balcony that runs the length of the home. This balcony offers some of the best water views on the entire property.
There are two more bedrooms within a detached guest house, which has its own large living area, dining room, kitchen, pergola, and deck. This cottage is ideal for friends and family.
Outside, there are numerous areas to relax, a small lawn, and a gunite plunge pool overlooking the ocean, as well as a wooden staircase that leads directly to the beach.
The home is listed by Ellen Valentgas of Sotheby’s International Realty, Osterville Brokerage.
