This classic Falmouth Heights cottage on an oversized (for the Heights!) lot is adorable as is, or make plans to eventually replace it with your dream home. Perfect timing for you to enjoy the full 2025 spring, summer & fall in this cottage that invokes yesteryear - this home predates the opening of Falmouth Harbor! Lots to talk about here - it is out of the flood zone, not in Nitrogen Sensitive Area, and it has pre-existing non conformities which open up options if reconstructing. Or enjoy it as the amazing beach cottage that it is & has been since roughly 1900! 4 br, 1.5 ba, hardwood floors, updated kitchen, corner lot, enclosed outdoor shower, garage to store your beach/boat toys, natural gas, passing 4BR Title V. It has no heat. Large covered porch in the front, covered deck in the back, large (for the Heights) side yard. New roof in 2013. Walk to Falmouth Heights Beach, Falmouth Yacht Club & Harbor, many restaurants & even Main St. Falmouth Heights is an ideal location to create memories on the Cape, including seeing a Top 10 in the US fireworks show on July 4th, walk to the finish line of the world famous Falmouth Road Race. Can be sold furnished or empty.
