A one-bedroom, one-bathroom seasonal cottage built in 1950
This small cottage is in a seasonal colony on Cape Cod, open from April 1 to Nov. 30. Many colony residents rent out their cottages, which are especially in demand during the summer months. This house, which has propane heat and a window air-conditioning unit, is being sold furnished.
Shopping and dining are about a five-minute drive, in downtown Wellfleet. Several popular beaches are five to 10 minutes away, including Marconi Beach and Lecount Hollow Beach, on the Atlantic coastline. Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod, is a 20-minute drive.
Size: 364 square feet
Price per square foot: $797
Indoors: The cottage is shingled, with a weathered exterior, a popular aesthetic on Cape Cod. Planter boxes with colorful flowers hang under windows framed by green shutters, and a few wood steps lead up to the front door.
The living room has high ceilings with skylights, knotty pine walls and wide pine floorboards. Through a wide doorway on one side of the room is a dining area with a built-in window seat that doubles as a sleeping nook for summer guests. The adjacent kitchen has pine cabinets and open shelving.
The bedroom is off the living room, with floral wallpaper and enough space for a double bed. The bathroom has a stall shower and more knotty pine walls.
Outdoor space: A small garden is at the front of the house, behind a low, white picket fence. Next to it is a patio big enough for a cafe table and chairs. A sandy path leads to Drummer Cove, a saltwater estuary surrounded by a pine forest
