1 CRICKET LANE, SOUTH YARMOUTH MA, 02664

Tucked on a corner lot on a low-traffic street with just three homes, this unique South Yarmouth home sits a short walk from Wing's Grove Beach on Long Pond. Split-rail fencing and established perennial beds frame the yard, the kind of setting that makes you slow down before you even pull in. Take your morning coffee on the covered front porch, then head inside, where the kitchen sets the tone with warm wood cabinetry, quartz counters, and stainless steel appliances, all of it open to a big family and dining room. The entire open space features wide-plank floors, full of warmth and character. From there it's off to the pond for a day of swimming, fishing, or paddling the kayak. Come home, rinse off in the outdoor shower, and grill dinner on the deck before settling in by the fire pit. The backyard is fenced and roomy, with a new shed out back, a real playland for the pets. Inside, the living room slows everything down. A gas fireplace, a beamed ceiling, an arched doorway framing it all, calm and a little bit beautiful. The kind of room you sink into at the end of the day. Updates include Marvin Integrity replacement windows, on-demand hot water, and gas-fired heat and central air.
