About This Property
You won't see it from the road. The drone almost missed it too - 48
Black Flats Road sits so far back under the trees it barely shows
from above, until the trees open and nearly two acres appear, Cape
Cod Bay flashing beyond the marsh toward Mayflower and Bay View.
The world outside disappears somewhere back along that driveway,
and it stays that way.The real reason to know this address has
never been square footage. This corner of Dennis grew up around one
family's businesses - Roses Italian restaurant, Thelma's gift shop,
mini-golf, and a handful of little cottages for rent - and for
generations, every summer here revolved around them. It was the
kind of place where everybody knew your name, and you didn't have
to be related to belong - you just became part of the summer family
anyway. Most of those landmarks are gone now, but they're still
very much alive in people's hearts. It's hard to find anyone who
grew up around here who doesn't have a memory tied to this stretch
of Dennis - a lot of us were chambermaids in those cottages at some
point, or discovered years later that the house we live in now was
once one of them. Some of us still have a small treasure from
Thelma's, bought with our own money as kids, tucked away in a
memory box somewhere. 48 Black Flats sat right in the middle of all
of it, and owning nearly two acres here means carrying a piece of
that Dennis folklore forward.The house itself: a solid 1972
Garrison Colonial, about 2,100 square feet, four bedrooms,
good-sized rooms, a real fireplace, mudroom, laundry, and a
traditional layout. The roof, windows, and systems are all original
and all working - this house hasn't been renovated, but it has been
cared for. Move in as-is, rent it out for strong summer income, or
take a big, solid house on nearly two private acres and make it
entirely your own.Nearly two acres across two parcels, a long
private driveway that keeps you completely tucked away from the
road, and a wide clearing around the house with room for a pool,
gardens, or whatever you're picturing. The beach is about
six-tenths of a mile away as the crow flies - a bit longer on foot
following the drive out, an easy bike ride any summer morning.Town
water, R-60 zoning, and part of the property sits in FEMA Flood
Zone AE - buyers and buyer agents should do their own due diligence
on insurance, septic, and zoning.The house needs some updating. The
story behind it doesn't.
