Designed by architect Royal Barry Wills this 4 bedroom 4 bath, 3300 sq. ft. home is located in a charming and private wooded enclave nestled alongside Pleasant Bay in South Orleans. Towhee Lane is rich with fine homes, ponds, bay and beach. The house at 42 Towhee Lane flows around a pine forested curve. Across the lane is a path leading down to an private sandy beach to which the house has deeded rights. During the season the water here is filled with many moored sail and power boats. This special property contains what was once the formal gardens of the Winslow estate. Hard wood floors are found throughout the main level and rustic beams give the family room a cozy colonial feel. Raised paneling offer the formal living room a stately appeal. Above the two car garage is a hideaway loft. Hugging the rear of the house is multi-level deck which overlooks the gardens. A full walk out basement may function as an in-law residence.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
