Cape Cod, Buzzard’s Bay, North Falmouth — these places that sing of summer —  have beckoned New Englanders for generations.

Snag your own forever summer spot (or rent it out if you can part with it) with a sweet home on just over a quarter-acre. At 40 Bryant Point Road, you get laid-back cottage vibes with elevated updates and water views galore, in a neat 1,353-square-foot jewel box.

Thanks to its generously proportioned lot, the Cape Cod getaway gets the green thumb treatment with perennial gardens and landscaped lawn. A cozy deck, separate firepit lounge area, and an outdoor shower criss-cross the lush grass underfoot — the setting for ‘smores and night caps.

Inside, the home boasts an abundance of large windows and glass sliders to let the light (and waterline) filter through. Beamed cathedral ceilings, wood paneling accents, and clever uses of space mesh coastal and contemporary style that’s not too sleek and not too kitschy. It’s just right.

Benefiting from three bedrooms, including a first-floor primary with a private deck, there’s plenty of room to host here, especially with 2.5 baths because the last thing you want is to jostle over a sink in the morning.

The sale of the home, on the market for $1,598,000, is represented by Annie Hart Cool of Sotheby’s International Realty – Cape Cod, Falmouth Brokerage, 508-868-0664.
