About this home
This beautifully maintained contemporary ranch offers a surprisingly spacious and inviting interior filled with natural light. Soaring cathedral ceilings, skylights and an open-concept layout create a wonderful sense of space, connecting the living room, kitchen and dining area. Radiant heat in the main living areas adds comfort, while an electric fireplace creates a cozy focal point. The well-appointed kitchen features a large center island, generous prep space and newer appliances, including a refrigerator in 2026 and additional appliances updated in 2021. The spacious primary bedroom offers two walk-in closets and a beautifully appointed private bath with radiant heat. Coastal-inspired wall detailing adds warmth and character to this inviting retreat. The finished walkout lower level provides abundant additional living space, including a large family room with custom built-ins, home office, third full bath and laundry area. Full-size windows and direct outdoor access bring in natural light and create an easy connection to the outdoors. Recent improvements include a roof, exterior paint, fence and skylights approximately two years old; windows and slider approximately three years old; new bedroom doors throughout; and a new shed added in December 2025. Whole-house generator included. Oversized heated one-car garage offers flexibility for parking, storage or a workshop. Ideally located approximately two miles from Old Silver and Megansett Beaches, this beautifully maintained home combines generous living space, thoughtful updates and a relaxed coastal feel in desirable North Falmouth.
