This Shingle-style cottage in downtown Falmouth exemplifies the classic, charming style of a Cape Cod getaway. Extensively renovated in 2018, it features an open-plan living and dining area, a light-filled kitchen, plentiful closets, hardwood flooring throughout, a basement with storage space, and two balconies offering views of the harbor and the ocean. The sunny, window-lined living area is open to an inviting dining area; steps away is a delightful kitchen with a breakfast area and a door to a covered porch perfect for grilling and outdoor entertaining. The second level includes the primary bedroom suite; a sleeping alcove with built-in bed; a bedroom and another sleeping area with a built-in bed, both with doors to a deck. A stairway with a colorful stained-glass window leads to the top floor and two guest rooms set amid the eaves--one with a wet bar and a door to a balcony--and a shared bath. In the backyard, the covered porch gives way to a decked patio with an arbor, an outdoor shower, and flourishing landscaping. The markets, restaurants, and shops are a short distance; Surf Drive Beach is minutes away, and the Pied Piper ferry to Edgartown is just across the street.
