About this home
Privately set on 1.95 beautifully landscaped acres in the coveted Gansett neighborhood of Woods Hole, this distinguished 1930 Colonial estate captures the essence of refined Cape Cod living. Days unfold between the heated saltwater pool, expansive lawns, private association beach overlooking Quissett Harbor, and deeded access to Little Gansett Beach, while the restaurants, cafés, waterfront, and village life of Woods Hole are nearby. Rich in architectural character and thoughtfully expanded over time, the property offers an exceptional combination of privacy, gracious entertaining spaces, and effortless access to the water. Offering more than 8,500 square feet of living space, nine bedrooms, seven full baths, and one half bath, the residence provides remarkable flexibility for family and guests. At the heart of the main house is a chef's kitchen appointed with a Wolf range and Sub-Zero appliances, complemented by a charming breakfast nook, formal dining room with fireplace, laundry room, and mudroom. A first-floor primary suite provides gracious single-level living, while a handsome den, fire placed living room, and sunroom offer beautifully proportioned spaces for intimate gatherings and larger-scale entertaining. Upstairs, a second primary suite enjoys water views, a walk-in closet, and private bath. A second-floor library, two additional bedrooms sharing a full bath, three smaller bedrooms with another shared bath, and an original telephone closet preserve the home's distinctive character and 1930s heritage. A substantial addition creates an exceptional second living environment, anchored by a dramatic cathedral-ceiling great room with fireplace and an adjoining sitting room. A galley kitchen appointed with Gaggenau appliances, one bedroom, two baths, and a lower-level office provide exceptional flexibility for extended family and guests. This wing also includes a generous bonus family room—ideal for game nights, movie evenings, or memorable gatherings—as well as an additional room accessed from the exterior patio, offering even more versatile guest space. French doors open to a private patio and firepit, seamlessly extending the living and entertaining areas outdoors. The grounds are equally impressive, with mature professional landscaping framing the heated saltwater pool, koi pond, sweeping lawns, and multiple areas for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. Ownership includes access to a private association beach overlooking picturesque Quissett Harbor, with dinghy drop-off and pick-up privileges along with dedicated kayak and paddleboard storage. The property also enjoys deeded rights to Little Gansett Beach, offering yet another treasured connection to the water. Rarely does a Woods Hole property combine this level of scale, privacy, architectural character, coastal access, and proximity to the village. Designed for generations of family and friends, this is an extraordinary Cape Cod estate equally suited to quiet summer mornings, days on the water, and unforgettable gatherings that continue long into the evening....
