Picture guests arriving for the holidays, headlights glinting off the curve of an elegant half-moon drive as the scent of salt air drifts in from Buzzards Bay.

At the tip of a private peninsula in North Falmouth, the waterfront estate at 40 Point Road feels like the kind of place made for gatherings — where the fire crackles, champagne flutes catch the winter light, and the view stretches endlessly across the bay.

Set on just over an acre, this 5-bedroom residence delivers that timeless Cape Cod design but draped in big-time luxury. Built by the acclaimed Osterville firm Polhemus Savery, every inch of the home speaks to fine craftsmanship — from the millwork and custom built-ins to the sun-drenched living spaces that seem to pull the ocean right inside.

The first-floor primary suite offers a private sanctuary with sweeping views, while three additional upstairs bedrooms and a separate guest or nanny suite over the garage ensure everyone has space to settle in. A second-floor family room creates an easygoing retreat for games, reading, or watching the boats pass by.

Outdoors, the property is a true coastal playground. French doors open to a covered porch and stone patio framing a saltwater pool, spa, and pool house. Beyond lies a private stretch of sand — perfect for launching a kayak or paddleboard at sunrise, or sipping wine as the sun sets over Buzzards Bay.

Every detail here, from the heated pool to the private study and central air, has been considered for comfort and ease. Currently the most expensive listing in Falmouth, this is coastal living at its finest — private, polished, and perfectly placed between sea and sky.

On the market for $7,595,000, the sale of the home is represented by Kerrie Marzot of Sotheby’s International Realty – Cape Cod – Falmouth Brokerage.
