195 Eldredge Drive

Eldredge Drive runs out to the salt marsh on the bay side of North Eastham, and by the assessor's dates 195 is one of the older houses on it: a Cape recorded as built in 1959, on a stretch of Capes and ranches raised between 1959 and 1965, with only two houses on the road dated earlier. What stands there now is that house renovated end to end in 2024 and 2025, shingled outside, with a deck on the marsh side and a detached one-car garage with storage above.

Three bedrooms and two baths in 1,492 square feet. The photographs put the kitchen at the water end of the house with its windows on the marsh, a living room opening off it with a fireplace, and the bedrooms they show on the upper floor with a small office at the top of the stair. The solar panels on the roof are owned, not leased, and the yard holds a hot tub, an outdoor shower and a garden.

Within fifty feet of the lot line the land belongs to the Massachusetts Audubon Society, two parcels of roughly forty-three acres, and beyond them the town of Eastham holds more as conservation land. The house and the marsh around it sit inside the Wellfleet Harbor Area of Critical Environmental Concern, designated by the state in 1989. Hatches Creek threads the marsh a few hundred feet from the house, across ground the federal hydrography survey maps as the Silver Spring Brook Marshes, and the town beach on South Sunken Meadow Road is about a third of a mile away as the crow flies. The listing describes a front-row seat to nature; the parcel map says the seat is not going anywhere.
