Van Rensselaer's Restaurant & Staff Housing offers investors a rare convergence of irreplaceable positioning and structural operating advantages on Cape Cod's Outer Cape. Set on 1.52 acres directly opposite Marconi Beach and The National Seashore, the property occupies prime ground, drawing on pass-through demand from an estimated 250,000 annual visitors to one of the region's most visited shorelines. The offering includes 150+ licensed seats across indoor dining, a full raw bar, and three distinct outdoor areas, backed by full liquor, entertainment, and catering licenses — a bundled licensing package rarely available independently in this market. Just as significant are the 70-80 on-site parking spaces. A separately deeded seven-room staff housing unit further distinguishes this asset. Physical infrastructure includes a full commercial kitchen, private septic and well systems, and a whole-building backup generator. Brought to market after 52 years of continuous, single-family ownership, this is a well-maintained, thoughtfully positioned asset — real estate, licensing, and housing assembled as a complete operating platform for its next owner.
