Majestically sited atop a beautifully landscaped bluff overlooking Buzzards Bay, Stony Beach, and Penzance Point, this iconic Woods Hole residence is a rare expression of timeless coastal living. Beloved by the same family for more than 40 years, the home retains an unmistakable sense of authenticity, with hardwood floors throughout, rich wood paneling, and gracious rooms that reflect generations of summers by the sea. The main level offers a kitchen, den, dining room, living room, and a series of inviting porches and outdoor spaces, each designed to capture the extraordinary setting and sweeping water views. A charming waterfront cabana creates a private perch above the bay, while a separate walkway and deck wrap along the seawall, offering yet another remarkable vantage point from which to experience the coastline. Upstairs, five bedrooms and multiple baths provide generous accommodations for family and guests. Surrounded by established landscaping and set high above the water, this extraordinary property embodies the enduring character, beauty, and understated elegance that have long defined Woods Hole.
