There are still places on Cape Cod that almost no one knows are there. Tucked within one of West Dennis's oldest enclaves, Horsefoot Road is a tiny one-lane offshoot that reaches out into Bass River. There's no through traffic and nowhere to go--except to the river. With the marsh on one side and Bass River on the other, this almost-hidden little street feels hugged by water. And at number 33, time has pretty much stood still. Built in the 1950s by the family's father and uncle, this house has been loved and cared for by the generations that followed. It hasn't been remodeled every ten years or changed to keep up with the latest trends. In fact, much of it is still just the way they remember it--and that is exactly how they have liked it. The sellers know that today's buyers may have different expectations. Someone may come along and see things they want to change, update or improve. They understand that. But they also hope the next owner will appreciate the history here and the blood, sweat and tears of the two men who built this family home with their own hands. Before this was real estate, it was someone's dream. And for the family who followed, it became their sanctuary. Maybe that's why being here feels so different from the Cape Cod happening just beyond the end of the road. On a summer afternoon, everyone else can be rushing to the beach, sitting in traffic, looking for a parking space or trying to get somewhere. Turn onto Horsefoot Road and everything seems to slow down. The marsh grasses move in the breeze. Swans glide through the shallows. An osprey calls overhead. A halyard taps against a mast somewhere nearby. Boats pass and their wakes eventually make their way to shore. And then there is Bass River. From the elevated backyard and patio, it stretches from left to right, with Bass River Golf Course directly across the water. Paddleboarders, kayakers and boaters come and go. Herons work the shoreline. Ospreys circle above. Boats head downriver toward Nantucket Sound and later make their way home. It is a constantly changing tapestry of sights, sounds and even smells that belong to special places like this--the salt air, the marsh, the river, the breeze coming off the water. You don't just have a view of Bass River here. You get to be a witness to it. Private steps lead down toward the water to an existing platform and sandy shoreline. Step into the river and there is clear water and white sand beneath your feet--a place to swim, launch a kayak or paddleboard, or simply sit at the water's edge and watch the river go by. Any changes or improvements to the existing waterfront structures or access would be subject to applicable permitting and approvals. And water isn't only behind you. On the other side, the view opens across the beautiful marsh toward the marina, Bass River Bridge and the way out toward Nantucket Sound. The house itself is surprisingly deceptive, with four bedrooms, two full baths, a garage beneath and an old-fashioned sunroom. It isn't modern, and nobody is pretending it is. This is a 1950s Cape house where generations have been perfectly happy to let time stand still while the world outside changed around them. There is work ahead, and the property has been priced accordingly. The septic system will need to be replaced, and given the environmentally sensitive location, an alternative/innovative system may be required. There has also been damage to the waterfront retaining structure, which is presently being secured to prevent further damage. Buyers should perform their own due diligence regarding septic, waterfront structures, conservation and permitting. The sellers will not be undertaking projects or repairs before the sale. They would rather leave those decisions to the next owner, who can decide what this house should become while hopefully respecting a little of what it has been. Because you can renovate a house. You cannot recreate this spot. You cannot manufacture the marsh on one side and Ba

21 Ken's Way Some homes sit beside the water. These 2 live in it. Set on more than three private acres, where winding tidal creeks meet Lewis Bay, this remarkable waterfront property feels less like a neighborhood and more like your own private nature preserve. Every day is choreographed by the tides as Osprey dive for fish, great blue herons stalk the marsh, egrets lift effortlessly into the breeze, and kayaks slip quietly through Mill Creek toward Nantucket Sound. The view isn't simply beautiful--it is alive. Protected marshland stretches endlessly before you, changing by the hour and by the season. Morning light glistens across the winding channels. High tide transforms the landscape into a shimmering estuary. Sunset paints the grasses gold. It is a panorama that no architect could ever design and no future development can replace. The primary residence offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, while a separate legal guest cottage--with its own private deck and full bath--creates the perfect retreat for family and friends. Following a recent inspection, the Town of Yarmouth has updated the official property record to recognize two legal dwelling structures on the property--a rare and highly desirable feature that offers remarkable flexibility for extended family, guests, or future lifestyle possibilities. (See updated field card attached in documents) Connected to the new four-bedroom Title V septic system, it offers exceptional flexibility for today's lifestyle. Inside, walls of glass frame the ever-changing scenery, while one unforgettable architectural centerpiece--a sculptural custom spiral staircase--serves as both engineering and art, creating a dramatic focal point unlike anything found in a typical Cape home. Outside, the possibilities are just as compelling. Launch a kayak from your backyard and explore Mill Creek all the way to Lewis Bay and Nantucket Sound. Gather around the firepit beneath star-filled skies. Spend mornings watching wildlife that most people only experience on nature documentaries. While the existing home offers comfortable waterfront living today, the true value lies in the setting itself. With approximately one acre of upland surrounded by over three acres of spectacular tidal marsh, this is a property where a future vision could become something extraordinary, with Mother Nature providing the backdrop no amount of money can recreate. Some properties offer water views. Very few become part of the landscape itself. Welcome to 21 Ken's Way.
