Tucked away on a quiet lane in the heart of Woods Hole, this cherished family home is
being offered for sale for the first time in nearly 60 years. Rich with character and
history, the property reflects the spirit of a village long known as a gathering place for
some of the world’s leading scientists and scholars. Lovingly maintained through the
decades, the home blends timeless charm with thoughtful updates, including renovated
kitchen and bath spaces designed for modern comfort while preserving its authentic
Cape character. A 2023-4 renovation also included a roof replacement, fully insulating
the house, electric upgrades, and new flooring in the main house. The full-height, dry-
locked basement and garage offer great workshop or studio spaces.
Just moments from the vibrant village center, waterfront, and the ferry to Martha’s
Vineyard, the location offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. Stroll to
local shops, restaurants, marinas, and world-renowned research institutions, then return
home to the peaceful setting that has made this property so special for generations.
Rarely does an opportunity arise to own a home that offers not only a prime Woods
Hole location, but also a genuine connection to the village’s remarkable past. During the
1970s, the home served as a gathering place for noted paleontologists, including
Stephen Jay Gould and Thomas J. M. Schopf, whose discussions and collaborations
helped shape evolutionary science. This remarkable connection adds a unique chapter
to the property’s story and offers a rare sense of place and historical significance.
Whether envisioned as a year-round residence, summer retreat with proven rental
record, or legacy property for future generations, this is a home where history,
community, and coastal living come together in a truly exceptional way.
