Where I’ve Been Lately, Part 2
#21509406
$919,000
I’ve been watching this house come to life over the last few years. It was inherited by a son who’s done a great job transforming it into a super-appealing home. With 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and 2,904 s.f., it’s bigger than it looks, and every inch has been renovated with superb taste. Once again, it’s the same south-of-Main-Street location that is so desirable, but the house is on a busy corner. It will be interesting to see what the selling price is.

Woodriff Lane is a private way off Quissett Avenue in the heart of Quissett. The main house was built in 1920 and has been updated, but still feels like a vintage home. Rooms are willy-nilly all over the place; the 7 bedrooms and 6 bedrooms are cozy because the total square footage is only 2,500. The grounds and view are private and lovely. The barn (better than the pictures in the listing) is probably what elevates this house to the over-$2 million category, because it provides an interesting and generous secondary space. The property also has rights to a private beach on Quissett Harbor.
My Curated Collection, Pt. 1
Although winter is the slowest time of year for homes coming on the market, we do have some new listings. Below is my curated selection of what’s fresh and interesting:
#21410434
39 Oakwood Avenue, Falmouth
$324,900
Here’s a tiny little upside-down house, on a tiny little lot. BUT – downtown! Adorable! And the lot abuts a vacant lot that will probably never be built upon because there seems to be no street frontage. More than meets the eye!
#21410564
5 Mast Road, Woods Hole (Falmouth)
$895,000
This is a smallish (1,828 s.f.), simple, and very sweet house. Relatively new, the house was built to function well – and it does, with three bedrooms and three baths, including a first-floor main bedroom suite. It’s got central air; a good deck; and a nice, level yard. You can walk to the private, neighborhood Little Gansett Beach. A private beach in “the Hole” – pretty special! It IS a lot of money, though. Will be interesting to see if the lure of this location will bring the bucks.
