In the heart of Falmouth Foreside, this timeless Colonial offers a distinctive blend of historic character and thoughtful updates just minutes from Town Landing Beach, Underwood Park, and Maine's largest anchorage. Lovingly restored, the home features newly sanded floors, fresh interior paint throughout, relined fireplaces, and an updated heating system converted to natural gas. High ceilings and abundant natural light enhance the warmth and authenticity of this circa 1800s home, offering first- and second-floor primary suites, front and back staircases, four bedrooms, an office, and a versatile bonus room. The garage has been transformed into a three-season room overlooking a level and fenced backyard—ideal for gatherings, games, or quiet relaxation beneath the trees. Soak in the lazy summer days with a stroll to the beach and a day on Casco Bay with a cookout on your pergola-covered deck with family and friends. Don't feel like cooking - no problem, grab a lobster roll minutes from your door at the renowned Town Landing Market, or stroll down to Dockside Grill for dinner. Enjoy close proximity to the Portland Country Club, Yacht Club, and easy access to Portland's vibrant downtown. A quintessential coastal New England lifestyle awaits—this is a rare opportunity in one of Maine's most desirable communities.
