From its rooftop Victorian cupola perfect for stargazing to its classically coffered ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors, this one-of-a-kind, historic grand manor warms your heart the minute you step onto the property and pass under the towering linden trees that define the expansive front yard.
Originally built in 1856 for Sea Captain Russell Marston, the 5,600-square-foot property has been fully renovated and modernized over the past decade, retaining the character of a grand estate while featuring tasteful décor and elegant finishes. The result is the perfect balance of historic charm and modern amenities, comfortably and memorably accommodating up to 20 guests.
The home's central location in mid-Cape puts it in the charming Centerville Historic District, less than a mile from Craigville Beach, known for its wide sandy shore and stunning views of Nantucket Sound. Owners offer a beach pass if you prefer to drive to other area beaches! It's a short walk along the sidewalk to the water, or a quick two-minute drive. Just five minutes down Main Street, you can enjoy award-winning Four Seas Ice Cream, perfect for a treat at any time or after dinner. Nearby, you'll find the 1856 Country Store, which still sells “penny candy" along with gifts and souvenirs, as well as the library and a new playground.
While your group may prefer staying on the grounds, the home offers easy access to all parts of Cape Cod. It's just 5 minutes to upscale shopping and dining in Osterville, 10 minutes to the variety of options in downtown Hyannis and the ferries to the Islands, and 15 minutes to trendy Mashpee Commons. You're also close to excellent local markets, bakeries, and coffee shops, along with convenient stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. It truly offers the best of everything!
The main level of this home offers a common space that is remarkably open for a home of this vintage, including a bright, thoughtfully equipped kitchen with high-end appliances and an impressive great room with plush seating and a large smart TV for movie nights. There's a full dining room and an additional dining area just off the great room and kitchen, which could easily host family game nights. In addition, several living spaces complete the expansive first floor and are ideal for your large group to spread out. There is an elegant lounge perfect for reading by day or for hosting cocktails by night, as well as a more contemporary family room, ideal for kids and teens, with a large smart TV, an Xbox gaming system, and a selection of board games. The main level also includes a sunroom with access to the spacious grounds, a half bath, and a mudroom with two sets of washers and dryers.
The home offers various sleeping arrangements across eight bedrooms on three levels. The main level features a spacious bedroom with a King bed and an ensuite bathroom with a step-in shower. Ascending the grand, winding staircase, the second level includes several sleep areas. There is a luxurious King suite with an ensuite bath that has a soaking tub and a large shower.
This primary bathroom also has a second door for direct hall access, ensuring privacy for the master suite occupants. Adjacent are two tastefully decorated bedrooms—one with a King bed and the other with a Queen bed—that share a hall bath with a step-in shower. In a separate wing of the second floor, there's another large King suite with its own private exterior entrance, ideal for a family. This suite includes a bedroom with a comfy King bed, a kitchenette, a full bath with a step-in shower, and an additional sleeping area with two twin beds. From this suite, you can step out onto a spacious deck overlooking the pool and grounds. The third level features three cozy bedrooms: one with a Queen bed, another with two twin beds, and a third with four twin beds. This level also has a smart TV and a PlayStation gaming system. Overall, the house contains four full bathrooms and one half bath.
Your outdoor summer experience here will be truly unforgettable! Picture sunny days relaxing by the spacious, secluded heated pool (gated for safety!). This beautiful area will become a favorite spot, featuring resort-style lounge chairs and a dining table perfect for outdoor lunches. There's also a pool cabana equipped with a fridge/freezer, an outdoor rinse station, and a convenient half bath. Your group will appreciate the many outdoor living options available! On the opposite side of the house, accessible from the great room, is another spacious outdoor entertaining area. It's a large stone courtyard with premium lounge seating around a gas fire pit, a large gas grill, and a whole-home generator.
Additionally, two expansive sundecks with lounge seating and a table with an umbrella—perfect for lunch or cocktails — overlooking the pool are located on the second level. A unique amenity, a private pickleball court. Ideal for family tournaments! This home will be your private resort on the Cape! The house is set on 1.37 acres of private, professionally landscaped, park-like grounds with ample flat yard space for kids to run and play safely. You can enjoy family soccer matches, cornhole games, or basketball at the driveway hoop.

Family stay for 19 adults (21-90). Space perfect and if anything not sufficiently described as to how expansive and mixed family friendly it really is. Excellent neighborhood with easy access to beach, walks and bike trails. A variety of ages all enjoyed both pickle ball and an expansive pool and outdoor sitting area.

Stellar property, amenities, and location. Beautiful home, great kitchen / cooking options, and plenty of room for a large family gathering with a range of ages. Bedrooms spacious and comfortable, bathrooms upgraded. Cute town, great walking areas, and easy access to beach, restaurants, shopping, and airport. Property manager was very easy to work with. Highly recommend this property. Our family loved it!

Great vacation
The house was wonderful. It was big and bright and clean. The grounds were beautiful. The pickle court was in use about 6 hours a day. The pool are was big. The shade tree next to the pool was lovely for sitting under. We had a great time.

Absolutely Amazing!!!
This was the best Vrbo we have stayed in to date. This group of friends (from graduate school + spouses) have stayed together on many group trips and all agreed the amenities, location, etc for the price was unbeatable. We have no complaints and plan to rent again next year for a reunion! I couldn’t recommend this place more. The new pickleball court was a major plus and nice way to have an activity to stay active throughout the day that was on the property. Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Over the top
This property experience exceeded our high expectations. With a family vacation group of 10 plus guests, we all had places to be, things to do, and people to see. Location was convenient to much of what the Cape has to offer. The property managers were highly responsive and helpful with the few minor maintenance issues we encountered.
Now, if they could fix the traffic onto the Cape, the experience would be perfection!

This property is a dream come true. End of September and we still totally enjoyed the salt-water pool. Great cooking facility allowed all nine of us foodies to enjoy every meal at the property except the last day's breakfast because we had to check out. If i could ever afford it again, I would go again without hesitation.

The PERFECT family vacation!
Our family of 3-generations, 18 in total, all flew in from the West Coast for a family reunion. The house was perfect! Large enough to easily accommodate all of us, with space for small gatherings as well as for all of us together. The house is well-appointed; we lacked nothing. Of course the pool was the biggest draw: the kids spent a few hours swimming every day. But the beach pass was appreciated. And communication with Pretty Picky Properties was wonderful—fast responses to our few issues/questions. I could not have asked for a more perfect family vacation—it exceeded ALL my expectations!
