Tucked at the end of a long driveway and barely visible from the road, this beautifully maintained home is set on nearly two acres abutting conservation. Rarely does a North Falmouth Village property offer this much land, privacy, and opportunity. The expansive grounds invite you to wander, gather around the outdoor hearth, rinse off in the outdoor shower after the beach, or simply enjoy having room to roam. The acreage also offers the potential to create a true estate property—expand the existing home or explore retaining it as a guest house while adding a larger main residence. Inside, the home is filled with sunlight, with generous windows offering serene views of nature. Hardwood floors, open living and dining areas, and a cozy wood stove create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, including two ensuite bedrooms, a first-floor guest room, mini-split AC, and an attached garage make this an ideal year-round home or Cape retreat. This North Falmouth property, just moments from Megansett Beach, the Shining Sea Bikeway, and village amenities, combines nearly two acres, extraordinary privacy, and so much possibility—a remarkable find not to be missed.
