Perched directly at the water’s edge, this truly unique coastal retreat offers the rare sensation of living aboard a boat while enjoying the comforts of home. Rich with nautical charm and thoughtfully preserved details, the residence captures the timeless simplicity and serenity of seaside living. The intelligently designed layout features a kitchen, living room, and eat-in dining area, along with a primary bedroom, flexible space suitable for a second sleeping area or office, a loft, and a charming micro-designed bath that perfectly complements the home’s coastal character. A rare opportunity to own an authentic waterfront escape with endless charm and personality. Buyer to assume installation of new septic system; engineering plans have already been completed.
Upper Cape, located between Buzzards Bay and Cape Cod Bay, is a coastal and village-centered Falmouth neighborhood with saltwater inlets and piney conservation land. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Main Street in Woods Hole, where ferry docks, marine labs, and compact storefronts set a working-harbor rhythm. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Woods Hole Science Aquarium act as cultural anchors, with The Knob adding a quiet shoreline counterpoint. Architecture leans toward shingled Cape cottages and weathered harbor-side buildings, with bikeable lanes linking beaches and ponds. Days track tides, ferry schedules, and the Shining Sea Bikeway’s steady flow. Small marinas and pocket parks keep the landscape open and maritime.
