Italianate Waterfront Villa in Bourne

A Legacy Home on Buttermilk Bay Some homes are built for shelter. Others are built for gathering, for storytelling, for the kind of laughter that echoes across decades. This waterfront villa on Buttermilk Bay belongs firmly in that second category—a place where a family doesn’t just live, but roots itself. A place that becomes part of the family story. Set on its own private peninsula, the home rises proudly above 485 feet of shimmering water frontage, embracing the Bay with a quiet confidence that only a landmark property can possess. From sunrise to sunset, the water is your constant companion—glimmering through the kitchen windows, wrapping around the patios, reflecting in the courtyards, and filling every room with the rhythm of the tides. The nearly 360‑degree views aren’t just scenery; they’re a backdrop to a lifetime of memories waiting to be made. This Spanish Colonial–inspired villa, thoughtfully renovated in 2012, blends timeless architectural character with the warmth and ease of Cape Cod living. It’s the kind of home where grandparents host holiday dinners, where children learn to swim in the bay, where friends gather for long summer evenings that stretch into night. The design invites connection—open spaces for entertaining, intimate corners for quiet conversations, and outdoor areas that feel like extensions of the living room. The main house offers the comfort of first‑floor living with three well‑placed bedrooms, perfect for multigenerational life. The addition, with its formal living room and two expansive sunset‑facing bedrooms, feels like a retreat within a retreat—ideal for extended family, guests, or the next generation as they grow into their own traditions. Every detail, from the mature gardens to the handcrafted kitchen finishes, speaks to a home meant to be cherished. This isn’t a place you simply buy; it’s a place you steward. A home that becomes the setting for birthdays, reunions, quiet mornings with coffee, and summers that your children—and their children—will talk about for years. On Buttermilk Bay, life slows down just enough for you to savor it. And in this home, the moments you create become part of a legacy that endures long after the last boat has come in for the evening.
