Listing broker remarks

Set back behind mature greenery, 729 Old Barnstable Road offers far more privacy than the address might suggest. This solidly built 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape-style home features a practical and flexible layout with a first-floor primary bedroom, an additional den or office, and comfortable living spaces with hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen opens by slider to a rear deck, creating an easy connection to the outdoors and a peaceful backdrop of lush vegetation. Upstairs, two spacious front-to-back bedrooms and a full bath provide excellent separation for family, guests, or work-from-home needs. With approximately 1,638 square feet of living space on a .34-acre lot, the home offers a strong foundation, a sensible floor plan, and the opportunity to update or personalize over time. A convenient East Falmouth location with access to beaches, shopping, dining, schools, and the best of the Upper Cape.— Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties
