This unseasonal, dare we say, almost tropical weather has us lying to ourselves about the cold months ahead. Don't let this light-jacket weather fool you, winter is coming.

But until it does, we're taking a look south to Cape Cod, to 97 Old Mill Road in Osterville. Just moments from Osterville Village and a mile from Dowse's Beach, this coastal sanctuary allows you to craft your perfect Cape day -- or at least start planning for it.

Captivating cedar shingle -- of course -- and more than an acre of land, the property is a coastal retreat with ample room for holidays, extended family vacations, and any guest that might flock your way. With more than 3,700 square feet, five bedrooms, three full baths, and two half-baths, you won't be on top of each other. In fact, with the property's spectacular outdoor area operating at full capacity, you might even miss those long-lost cousins.

In addition to a three-season sunroom wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, formal dining room, and a warm living room anchored by a stone fireplace, the property includes a treasure trove of outdoor living nooks.

First, the crystalline pool boasts two cabana houses. Then, the covered porch, party-ready patios, and the envy-inducing outdoor kitchen that includes a stone pizza oven, outdoor fireplace, and grill create a true outdoor oasis.

The sale of the home, on the market for $2,990,000, is represented by Ellen Valentgas of Sotheby's International Realty - Cape Cod, Osterville Brokerage, 508-648-5086.
