Punxsutawney Phil announced an early spring — consider this your permission slip to start planning your summer weekends.

Need a place to start? How about 8 Tupper Avenue in Sandwich, a sweet cedar-shingled bungalow just moments from the marina, Cape Cod canal, beaches, and the charm of Sandwich Village.

Built in 1951 and renovated to a pristine condition — it even comes furnished so all you have to bring is your swimsuit — this bungalow packs a punch. In addition to a deck, paved patio with firepit, a landscaped yard, and a roof deck with water views, 8 Tupper Avenue boasts a “she shed” on the premises. Use the latter for storing your bikes and boogie boards or get creative and use it as an art studio or reading nook.

Sunny, open, and designed with entertaining in mind, the living and dining area enjoy a bar area with beverage cooler, while the updated kitchen adds lots of counter and storage space to keep you fueled for all your summer adventures.

There’s a pair of efficient bedrooms — one with a lofted space that easily fits a bonus sleeping area — and an updated bathroom. Of course, you can also wash off the salt and sand at the outdoor shower.

On the market for $799,000, the sale of the bungalow is represented by Jane Bodrie of Sotheby’s International Realty – Cape Cod Sandwich Brokerage, 508-737-4915.
