Room to expand in Falmouth – Boston Herald

Despite its familiar gray cedar shingles, thick canopy and the smell of salty breezes, 46 Clowes Drive in Falmouth is not your typical Cape home.

This is in a sense that it is bright, close to the beach and designed for maximum relaxation. But it’s also unexpected, interesting and downright delicious in the way it combines contemporary design and coastal chic.

Buyers looking for that nautical, classic Cape Cod aesthetic will love the crisp white paneling, natural wood ceiling beams whose accents are echoed throughout the property, and expansive decks for outdoor living. Those looking for a little more design ‘oomph’ will love the open, airy layout, high-end finishes and artisan renovated kitchen.

The home spans just under 1.3 acres which, coupled with the wraparound deck accessed from the main level, allows you to take full advantage of the private and natural surroundings. When you need to get away, downtown Falmouth and a private association beach are close at hand.

Inside, the house is just as large, with over 3,200 square feet, four bedrooms, three stories, plus a bonus loft to use as a home office (if you must) or as an art studio or nook reading. To gather for movie or game night, there is a great room with a fireplace on the main living level, another family room with a fireplace near the bedrooms, and a recreation room on the finished lower level.

Selling the home, on the market for $1,695,000, is represented by Kerrie Marzot of Sotheby’s International Realty – Cape Cod, Falmouth Brokerage, 508-274-2236.
