FALMOUTH – Here on a cul-de-sac at the end of a quiet, secluded lane is a stunning, David Rogers-designed, cottage-style home that combines traditional architectural elements with every contemporary comfort, and inspired custom details that include slate flooring in the formal dining room, a cast-iron fireplace surround in the living room, and of course the distinctive eyebrow window of the facade

Built in 1993, the 4,985-square-foot home provides three levels of living. The total of 12 rooms includes six bedrooms (there are master suites on both the first and second floors) and affords a high degree of floor-plan flexibility, as well as cool extras: A three-season screened porch that’s pleasantly rustic, and a vast, above-the-garage bonus room that makes an ideal office or studio, has two double closets, and could readily be recast as a guest/in-law suite.

In the center – the heart – of the home is the gorgeous, vaulted-ceiling, stainless-and-granite-and-cherry kitchen, updated a couple of years ago. There’s a charming built-in bench seat, and by the bank of windows, plenty of space for a sitting area or a dining table.

Off the wide balcony/landing upstairs are two front bedrooms and a back bedroom (each with character, especially the bedroom with the eyebrow window) and a full bath to serve them. The master suite occupies the south wing; front-and-back rooms connected by the bath can both be bedrooms, or either may be a dressing room or nursery.

The walkout, daylight lower level opens to a slate patio whose curve reflects the interior’s arch design motif. Downstairs in addition to the storage and utility rooms are a large workshop; a full bath; a family/sitting room with fireplace; and a huge, L-shaped recreation room suitable for exercise, man-cave, media and what-have-you … or for multiple roles simultaneously.

The 1.39-acre lot is beautifully landscaped; screened by woods on three sides, and to the front, by plantings on cul-de-sac’s circular island. In the back yard, off the patio, there’s a little man-made pond that is sure to delight children.

The home at 26 Mitchellwood Drive, Falmouth, is listed for sale at $759,000 by David Jones of F.O. Bailey Real Estate, and is being shown by appointment.
