Located in Falmouth, MA, The Shire is a charming 1960s Cape house surrounded by trees and mature plantings. It has a unique character, with interesting nooks & crannies. Outside, there is always something in bloom. Located on a quiet street, it’s a 5-minute drive to the beach or a 20-minute bike ride.
