Step back into simpler times when you visit this 1918 Cottage by the Sea. Well cared for by 3 generations of the same family, it sits atop a dune overlooking its own private white sandy beach. Every room in this spacious old home has sweeping water views. Imagine falling asleep to the magical sound of the waves! The kitchen and baths were updated over the years, but most of this charismatic old house retains its original charm with 9 ft ceilings, bead board walls and ceilings, a wonderful huge brick fireplace and a divine front porch for soaking in the panoramic water views from Washburn Island to the East, Falmouth Harbor to the West and the Vineyard directly across the Sound. Newer windows, roof and 6 bedroom septic system make the Cottage worth saving, but some will imagine a new Shingle Style beach house worthy of this amazing site. The oversize garage offers another footprint to possibly rebuild on. One of the rare offerings that truly epitomizes the essence of Cape Cod
