Inside, the rooms are spacious, showcasing high ceilings, intricate moldings and wainscoting, alongside large windows featuring decorative divided lights that offer breathtaking views of the harbor, bay, and spectacular sunsets. The carriage house provides roughly 2,300 square feet and includes an expansive meeting room leading to a generous covered porch, a half-bathroom, and a maintenance area. The second story has three bedrooms and a bathroom, with the possibility of creating a dramatic vaulted ceiling space. Quissett is a vibrant family-friendly summer community located in the Town of Falmouth on Cape Cod.
The area offers a robust sailing community and various amenities like golf courses, coastal and deep-sea fishing, the Shining Sea Bikeway, and beautiful sandy beaches. Buzzards Bay is well-known for its steady breezes, attracting sailors, windsurfers, and kiteboarders. Boaters benefit from access to the South Coast, the Elizabeth Islands, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket. Nearby, Woods Hole is famed for its top-notch marine science colleges, while Falmouth Center features a diverse range of dining and shopping options. Quissett is conveniently located near major highways, and international airports such as T.F. Green in Providence and Logan in Boston, both roughly 80 miles from the property. Moreover, executive jet services are available in nearby Hyannis. Since 1975, the property has been under the ownership of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and has been functioning as the J. Erik Jonnson Conference Center. Although minor alterations have been implemented to cater to its conference purpose, NAS has diligently maintained and restored the property as necessary. This unique offering combines a rare location, site, and architecture typical of a distinguished New England waterfront estate. It is awaiting a new owner who will cherish and restore it as a magnificent family home.
