Founded in the 1600s as “Cotacheset,” it was a seafaring village and a center for oystering, leading to its name (originally “Oysterville”)
Home to the Crosby Yacht Yard, America’s oldest active wooden boat-building family, and a history of shipbuilding
Osterville is an affluent village within the town of Barnstable, Massachusetts, known for its scenic beauty, upscale shops, and maritime history, located on the south side of Cape Cod on Nantucket Sound. It features beaches, harbors, and a charming village center with boutiques and restaurants, and is home to the historic Crosby Yacht Yard, famous for wooden boat building. Originally a seafaring and oystering community, it evolved into a popular summer destination for wealthy families, retaining an atmosphere of understated luxury and coastal authenticity.
Osterville has a Mix of historic preservation and newer infill
Historic homes from the 18th–19th centuries (Colonial, Cape, Saltbox) are common and often preserved or respectfully restored.
Many properties maintain traditional materials (wood clapboard or shingles, brick chimneys, pitched roofs) to honor coastal New England character.
Coastal and Cape-inspired designs
Shingle-style and Cape Cod-inspired homes remain prevalent, especially for newer builds and renovations.
Features like dormers, wraparound porches, and ocean-facing decks are popular to maximize sea breezes and views.
Numerous newer homes reference early American motifs with symmetrical facades, multi-pane glazing, and classical entry details.
Contemporary and transitional styles
A notable portion of new construction blends contemporary interiors with traditional exteriors.
– Clean lines, large windows, open-plan layouts, and energy-efficient features are common in newer builds.
– Renovation and adaptation
– Many older houses undergo upgrades: insulation upgrades, updated kitchens and baths, enhanced outdoor living spaces, and upgraded mechanicals (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) while preserving exterior historic character.
Materials and climate considerations
Weather-resistant materials like cedar shingles, clapboard siding, and composite decking are typical.
– Roofs are often asphalt shingle or architectural shingle; some higher-end homes may use red cedar roof shingles and standing-seam metal for durability.
Zoning and styling influence
Zoning preserves a village feel with setbacks and lot coverage that favor spacious yards, gardens, and outdoor living areas.
Architectural review may occur via local homeowners associations or design guidelines in historic districts.
