Features:
Nestled on a quiet little-known street in South Dartmouth, our Home of the Week is a spacious 3,900-square-foot Cape, a house with humble beginnings.

Many homeowners put additions on their homes, but this homeowner added on an entire house plus a two-car garage at 5 Akin St. What appears to be the most likely room to have been added was, in fact, the original house. Measuring 20 feet by 24 feet, the great room, as it is now known, was originally a small cottage built in 1920.

Three years ago, the house was all but demolished, leaving one outside wall standing on the foundation. In its place a beautiful, well-appointed traditional Cape-style home emerged.

“It’s a classic New England style Cape on the outside, with all of the modern amenities on the inside, all on a quiet side street in the village,” said David Monteiro of Strategic Points Group.

Traditional styling with plenty of custom details help this house fit right into the well-established, peaceful Padanaram neighborhood. A ribbon driveway with concrete driving strips adds to the illusion that this house was here from the early days of the village. A beautifully manicured front yard greets visitors as they make their way to the front door along a stone walkway. A unique trellis awning over the front door hints of the many architectural details waiting inside.

The modest 14,479-square-foot lot is packed with gorgeous landscaping and a heated in-ground L-shaped pool. The back yard is completely enclosed with a six-foot wooden fence. A row of arborvitaes stand side by side along the back of the property. Alternating clusters of boxwood and hydrangea bushes pick up in the corner where the arborvitaes leave off, extending from the back fence right to the front of the house. Several perennial beds throughout the property feature a variety of evergreen and deciduous bushes for year-round interest.

A Trex-clad deck runs nearly the entire length of the house, creating the perfect arena for pool-side celebrations during the warmer months.

Inside, first-class high-quality materials throughout the house give it an upscale look and feel from room to room. Generously sized rooms and an open floor plan make this house perfect for large families and for entertaining all year round.

From floor to ceiling, careful thought was given to every detail of the house. Bamboo hardwood flooring in the great room blends beautifully with the ash hardwood throughout the rest of the living areas and bedrooms. Fluted moldings and rosette accents frame all of the doors and windows in the house. Lighting was anything but an afterthought. All of the rooms have some combination of recessed and decorative lighting. Ceiling fans spin in the living room, den, great room, and in each of the four bedrooms.

The well-appointed kitchen has top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art appliances with all of the latest design elements. Stainless steel Bosch and Sub-Zero appliances complement rich cherry cabinets and dark Silestone quartz countertops. A stainless island range hood and coordinating drawer and door pulls help make this beautiful kitchen the centerpiece of the home.

Around the corner from the kitchen is a cozy nook where a wet bar stands ready to serve guests. Sliders lead out to the back deck.
