Thank you for viewing and considering our home. We do not allow pets or smoking due to guests with allergies.
Welcome to our quintessential Cape Cod home. Four generations of our family have enjoyed this home with a great location, and we hope your family does also.
We are on a quiet cul-de-sac and most homes are full-time residents. Our location is walkable to main street Falmouth - one block away: and the Falmouth public beach 0.7 mile. If you are looking for a central location but still want peace, quiet and minimal traffic, look no further. Put in a text inquiry and I will be glad to answer any questions. I will usually respond the same day.
We keep the house well maintained and try to provide you with a home where we would want to stay. Cleaning is done by a registered professional company using non-chemical solutions unless dictated by the State of MA or CDC.
In 2020 we completely renovated the kitchen with white shaker cabinets, island seating for 5, quartz counter tops and new appliances. There is a washer and dryer in the kitchen. The dishwasher is new as of 2022.
We installed a new outdoor shower in 2022. I need to update photos on our page.
The large back yard gives kids of all ages space to play multiple yard games; while adults sit and talk under the umbrella while reading, cooking out, having cocktails or just relaxing. You are welcome to use the yard games of corn hole, croquette, Frisbee and others. We ask that you bring the outside games in at night.
A new patio was added in 2021 with a picnic table, umbrella and gas grill. Break resistant dishes and glassware are available for kids and outside use.
Location:
*We are one block from downtown Falmouth and the Cape Cod Trolley Service, which you can take to Woods Hole to see the Aquarium, Titanic Exhibit, dine out or visit the Oceanographic Institute. We suggest not trying to park in Woods Hole unless you are very lucky. There are just over 400 paid meters in the area. Take the Trolley, just 2 blocks away from our house, and enjoy the ride.
From the house, you can hear the Nobska Light House foghorn or Island Queen Ferry Boat horn as it returns from Martha's Vineyard.
