40 Viking Drive

Tucked into a quiet Dennis neighborhood where mornings start with salty air and end with sunsets over the river, this lovely 4-bedroom full-dormered Contemporary Cape offers the kind of space, flexibility, and lifestyle that's increasingly rare at this price point. With deeded access to a sunny sandy beach on Kelly's Bay--across from Mayfair Boat Yard at the end of Bass River--and Johnny Kelly Park just steps away, the setting alone feels like a hidden bonus.Inside, the home immediately stands apart with an unusual and highly desirable floor plan offering far more living and entertaining space than you'd expect. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout, and a bright, sunny living room with a large bay window and a massive stone wood-burning fireplace creates a warm, welcoming space to gather. The large eat-in kitchen offers loads of cabinet space, first-floor stackable laundry, and a cathedral ceiling with skylight that floods the prep and work area with natural light. The kitchen flows seamlessly into an enormous family room--truly the heart of the home--with soaring ceilings accented by modern transom windows that bump out the front dormer, filling the space with light and architectural interest. A striking floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace anchors the room, flanked by windows, skylights, and built-in bookcases, while a side entrance adds everyday convenience and further distinguishes this home from a traditional Cape. Upstairs, the full-dormered second level opens beautifully to two large bedrooms with transomed dormers and generous ceiling height, offering space and comfort rarely found in a classic Cape layout. In total, there are four bedrooms, one currently staged as a home office, along with a tastefully renovated first-floor bath. A full basement and abundant closet space make storage easy and practical. With a bit of imagination and some cosmetic updates, this home has all the makings of a true showplace. Step outside to a private backyard where sliders lead from the family room to a beautiful custom stone patioperfect for al fresco diningcomplete with a stone wall, fire pit, outdoor shower, and storage shed. The location is hard to beat: deeded water access at one end of the street, Johnny Kelly Park at the other with tennis courts, walking trails, playground, ball fields, and outdoor activitiesall within easy walking distance. Launch a kayak and be up the lazy river in minutes for a drink at the Shanty, explore winding marshes and inlets, or enjoy peaceful sunsets on the sandy beach. Perfectly positioned midway between the iconic Northside beaches and the Nantucket Sound beaches and nightlife, this central Dennis location works beautifully as a year-round home or a second-home escape, with easy highway access and everything you need close by. So much house, so much lifestyleand such a pretty find in today's market.
