About this home

Designed by architect E. Gunnar Perterson circa 1937, known for his development of the Nautilis Motor Inn, the Dome Restaurant and his concrete block modern designs, this home was built originally for Mrs. William C Davis and heralded as the first ''moderistic'' home in Falmouth. Perched high on a hill on desirable Elm Road, the modest ranch style stucco residence retains much of its original character with a wall of waterfacing windows across the front main living areas, wood flooring, and wood burning fireplace in the living room. The compact design features 3BR and 1.5 BA and a detached 2 car garage on a lovely wooded .65 ac parcel, located a short stroll to the village, beach and bikeway. Restore or build new in this sought after location with distant waterviews. Buyers and Buyer's agent to verify all information contained herein.
