Listing broker remarks

Dating to the late 19th century, 46 County Road is a classic Queen Anne-style home set on nearly three-quarters of an acre of private, established grounds in the heart of North Falmouth Village. Currently configured with three units in the main house plus a detached one-bedroom, one-bath cottage, the property offers more than 2,100 square feet of finished living space in the main residence. Cedar shingles, a covered wrap-around porch, mature trees and a generous lot contribute to its timeless Cape Cod character. The existing configuration offers flexibility and an exciting opportunity to reimagine the property. Continue its current use or explore creating a spacious single-family residence while retaining the separate cottage for additional living space, guests, a home office or other possibilities. Just two doors from the Shining Sea Bikeway and close to Megansett Beach, tennis, playground, library, shops and restaurants, this is a rare combination of village location, privacy, character and potential.— Kinlin Grover Compass
