Hot Property: Life’s a beach at Falmouth’s ‘Osprey House’
If waking up to sparkling ocean views of Buzzards Bay from every west-facing room is your idea of heaven, 41 Salt Works Way in Falmouth delivers in spades.
Known as “Osprey House,” this striking blend of contemporary and traditional design is tucked into the coveted Saconesset Hills of West Falmouth.
Designed by noted local architect Chris Gully and built in 2007, this home blends rustic elegance and coastal charm from a dramatic waterside perch.
Osprey House’s opulence speaks particularly to foodies and gourmands, or anyone looking to host and feed a crowd. The massive kitchen, a chef’s dream, features a wood-fired masonry oven, dual workspaces, gas and induction ranges, a warming drawer, and multiple ovens. And once you’re ready to nosh, the summer porch opens to become the ideal al fresco dining spot.
One of the home’s show-stopping features is the sky-high central fireplace, an architectural marvel rising more than 20 feet high, with two wood-burning and two gas-burning fireplaces..
The first floor includes an office when work calls, and a music room for impromptu recitals. Upstairs, the second level adds four lavish bedroom suites and a cozy library complete with a gas fireplace.
The third level offers a bar area and a den with another gas fireplace — ideal for unwinding or entertaining with a view. But the home’s 5,000+ square feet doesn’t conclude here — the lower level is your bonus fun zone, boasting a movie room, wine room, and additional family room.
An elevator whisks you between floors if days on the beach left you too tired for stairs.
Outside, direct access to a sandy beach awaits you, along with a three-car detached garage for storing bikes or kayaks, and an attached two-car garage.
The sale of the property, on the market for $6,995,000, is represented by Kerrie Marzot of Sotheby’s International Realty – Cape Cod, Falmouth Brokerage, 508-274-2236.
