Built in 1840, this distinctive Falmouth property offers a rare glimpse into the character and charm of another era, combined with the flexibility and convenience of a legal two-family residence.At the heart of the property is the main house, filled with the unexpected spaces that make an older home so memorable—nooks and crannies, intimate corners, and details that reflect its long history. A separate one-bedroom apartment adds exceptional versatility and has been successfully rented for several years, offering income potential as well as possibilities for guests, family, or extended stays.Major renovations in the 1990s and 2000s included new windows, two furnaces, two hot water tanks, rooftop solar panels, and separate laundry rooms for the main house and apartment. These thoughtful updates provide modern convenience while preserving the property's distinctive character.The location is equally appealing. Just moments from Falmouth’s lively village center, the property is close to shops, restaurants, cafés, and everyday amenities. Surf Drive Beach is less than a mile away, making it easy to enjoy the ocean and the quintessential Cape Cod beach experience.A home with history, personality, flexibility, and an enviable location, this is a property that invites you to become part of its next chapter.
