An Office on Osterville's Main Street
Cape Associates staffs an office at 1112 Main Street, Suite 12, in Osterville. It is one of four Cape Cod offices the company runs, alongside North Eastham, Chatham, and Yarmouth Port. Osterville is a village in the Town of Barnstable, in Barnstable County, and this third-generation, family-owned builder has served Cape Cod homeowners since 1971. A local office means Osterville owners deal with a team that is close to the site, not one covering the village from another town.
Main Street is Osterville's village center, a short distance from West Bay, Nantucket Sound, and the Wianno neighborhood. From here, our team handles design coordination, permitting, and project management for new homes and renovations, and looks after seasonal and waterfront homes through our Property Management division. Being nearby means faster site visits and quicker answers when you have a question.
Building on Osterville's Waterfront
Much of Osterville sits along West Bay and Nantucket Sound, with waterfront properties around Wianno, Dowses Beach, and Oyster Harbors. Building or renovating near the water means planning early for a few things:
-
Flood zones and wind exposure on water-facing lots
-
Wetlands and coastal review through the Barnstable Conservation Commission where a lot requires it
-
Septic, drainage, and sitework sized for larger properties
We work through these during site planning, before design decisions are locked in, so they do not become surprises once the permit process begins.
Our Services for Osterville Homeowners
Custom Home Building in Osterville: New home construction in Osterville covers site planning, architectural coordination, cost estimating, and permitting through the Town of Barnstable, all managed from our Main Street office. Waterfront lots near Wianno and West Bay add flood zone, wind exposure, and drainage planning to the scope. Learn more about custom home building.
Renovations & Remodeling in Osterville: Whole-house renovations and additions are carried out by our own carpenters, tile setters, and plumbers rather than a rotating list of outside subcontractors. That keeps a multi-trade project coordinated on larger properties. Many Osterville owners are seasonal, so work can be scheduled while you are away, with the house ready when you return. Learn more about renovations and remodeling.
Property Management for Osterville Homes: Our Property Management division offers everything from routine maintenance to full year-round oversight for Osterville's waterfront and seasonal homes, run from the same Main Street office that handles construction. Learn more about property management.
Custom Cabinetry & Millwork for Osterville Projects: Kitchen and bath cabinetry, built-ins, and finish carpentry for Osterville projects are designed and built in our own woodshop, sized to suit the larger homes common around Wianno and the waterfront. Learn more about custom cabinetry.
