The grand residence next to the Kennedy Compound at 151 and 155 Irving Ave is listed for $21.5 million, making it the highest-priced active listing in Cape Cod. According to Boston.com, the estate features a main house, a separate guesthouse, and private beach access on a 3-acre property.
The estate has historical ties to the Kennedys, with photos showing the family sailing and waterskiing nearby—though it is often mistaken for the Kennedy Compound, according to Boston.com. The 13-bedroom, 12-bath property includes a main house with ocean views and gathering spaces, plus a guesthouse with a separate kitchen, four bedrooms, and two self-contained apartments.
Paul Grover, the property's listing agent, praised its grandeur, saying, "As soon as you turn off Irving Avenue and proceed down the driveway, it’s so stately." He also noted the direct ocean views, "right through to the ocean. It’s dramatic," Grover told Boston.com. Owned by the same family for 25 years, the estate last sold for $6 million in 2000 and has seen some price adjustments over the past year.
The Zillow listing describes the estate as one of the most iconic on the Eastern Seaboard. It features 410 feet of sandy beach frontage, grounds designed by the Olmsted Brothers, and recent upgrades, including a seawall, new pool, and window replacements.
The home offers views of Nantucket Sound, Hyannis Port Harbor, and Great Island. Grover describes it as feeling like a “4th of July house,” thanks to features such as blue carpentry evoking a patriotic vibe. According to Boston.com, the estate is near the West Beach Club, Hyannis Port Yacht Club, Cape Cod Gateway Airport, and ferry services to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.
