A house called 'Nirvana': Barnstable oasis offers amazing water vistas at $2.495M

It's a beautiful thing when a house and location work together to create a symphony of sanctuary.

This gracious contemporary home sits on a two-plus acre lot on the Centerville River in Barnstable, and the epic water and marsh views and elegant architecture blend seamlessly. The house is called "Nirvana," and it lives up to the name.

"The sunsets are stunning," said listing agent Chuck Tuttle of William Raveis Real Estate. "There are wonderful, calming views from almost every room."

Priced at $2,495,000, the home features three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and one half bath. Open flow design allows easy entertaining from the chef's dream kitchen, outfitted with a Wolf five burner range, opening to a dining room with a fireplace and a living room that both offer exceptional views.

A great room is graced by a gas fireplace and wet bar, with sliders to a deck that offers a box seat to beautiful vistas. There's a gorgeous home office that would also make a divine den, and yes, the views are spectacular. Top-quality Andersen windows are featured throughout the home.

You'll find two large bedrooms on the second level of the home with a full bathroom, and the third level primary suite features a vaulted ceiling and a walk-in cedar closet. There's also a cool family room on the lower level with plenty of storage space.

The home is located at the end of a very quiet road that runs along the Centerville River. The incredible viewscape includes marsh, river, Craigville Beach and Nantucket Sound. Tranquility is assured, but this oasis is conveniently located about three miles from all the dining and shopping options of Hyannis.

So if you are seeking the elusive combination of natural beauty, water views and great location in a luxurious home, it may well be worth a trip to this lovely part of the Cape for a look at Nirvana. The setting is intoxicating and the home is a stunner.
