261 Quissett Avenue

Proudly offered a rare opportunity for a legacy home to become uniquely your own. Originally built as part of the wave of "summer cottages" in 1890 in the Quissett area of Woods Hole, this shingle style Gambrel home sits high on a hill with a generous 2.62-acre private lot. Across the street, a deeded right of way leads you to your private stone dock on Quissett harbor. A year-round home for the last 58 years, the home retains much of its original character; high ceilings on all levels, fireplaces, front and back staircases, a large wrap around covered porch on three sides to entertain and relax while taking in the salt sea air. A spacious kitchen with butler's pantry, scullery, and storage pantry. A large walk-up attic for storage or expansion. The detached 4 bay garage is perfect for cars, storage, or workshop. Modern comforts are a newer 6 zone heating system and generator. For generations families have enjoyed a connection with the maritime and scientific heritage of this community and to the natural riches of Woods Hole, will you be the next?
