Some homes make a statement the moment you arrive. 17 Hilltop Drive is one of them — a beautifully executed multi-level ranch set on nearly half an acre of lush, private grounds abutting Shawme-Crowell State Forest in Sagamore. Gut-renovated to the studs in 2019 by Clare Construction, with thoughtful updates continuing through, this is the kind of turnkey property that buyers wait years to find on the Upper Cape.
Main Floor — Single-Level Living at Its Finest....
Step inside and the main floor immediately delivers on its promise. A stunning fireplaced living room anchors the space, with freshly painted custom built-ins flanking the fireplace and hardwood floors running throughout. The open kitchen and dining area flow naturally to the heart of outdoor living: a brand-new multi-level weatherproof deck system strung with Edison lights, where morning coffee and evening gatherings compete equally for your attention. The primary ensuite is tucked privately on the main floor, offering the ease and luxury of single-level living without compromise. First-floor laundry adds the practical touch that makes every day easier. Anderson windows throughout bring in abundant natural light and frame the surrounding greenery beautifully at every turn.
The Entertainment Wing — A Walk-Out Family Destination....
Head downstairs and the home reveals a second act that earns its own headline. An oversized family room with a built-in bar sets the tone — this is a space designed for fun, whether that's a holiday gathering, a game night, or simply a rainy Cape Cod afternoon. Three generous bedrooms, each with full egress windows and real natural light, make this the ideal family wing, guest retreat, or multigenerational suite. The full bath serves the level in style, and the slider opens onto a covered patio and some of the most beautiful landscaping you'll see at this price point: terraced granite walls, climbing roses, hydrangeas in full summer color, and the deep privacy of state forest just beyond the fence line. This level doesn't read as a second floor — it lives like one.
The Systems — Exceptional Investment in Comfort...
The owners spared no expense on the infrastructure that matters most. A new six-zone mini-split system provides precision heating and air conditioning in every room of the home — individually controllable & whisper-quiet. A 2-zone oil heating system provides reliable backup, with a brand-new oil tank installed in 2024. Mass Save attic insulation and ventilation improvements mean the home is as energy-efficient as it is comfortable. This is a home you move into, not a home you work on.
The Setting — Privacy Meets Convenience...
Outside, a newly paved driveway, professional irrigation, a shed, and a partially fenced yard complete a property that has been maintained and improved with genuine pride of ownership. And yet despite the feeling of seclusion against the state forest, you're moments from everything the Upper Cape has to offer: the charm of Historic Sagamore Village, the Cape Cod Canal Bike Path, pristine beaches, and walking trails — plus easy highway access to Boston and Providence for year-round commuters and weekenders alike.
