I took this last Oct 9 at The Daily Brew. Fun moment for all the Brew-ers!
Brrr, Swimming on New Year’s, Old Silver Beach, Falmouth, MA
New Year’s Day run and dunk at Old Silver Beach, to benefit the Cape Cod Center for Women. The runs were great, 3 and 5 miles, perfectly comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt for many of the runners. But then you got onto the beach. In a bathing suit. The wind made it mighty chilly! Here are some images of the run and dunk, headquartered at The Seacrest, and a video of the start of the 3 mile run. (My phone, delicate flower that it is, refused to shoot the dunk. Too cold, I guess. Time for a new phone, you think?)
Championship Game Send-off!
The football team left for the state playoffs at Gillette Stadium with a police escort and a parade of cheering parents and enthusiastic fans. Falmouth pride! Take a look:
New Listings, Part 2
#21609092
61 Alma Road, Falmouth
$660,000
This is a pretty good deal: The house is much more spacious than it appears from the street. With 6 bedrooms (and 2 baths), and a garage; and in the best Heights location – a quick walk to both Main Street, the beach and the ferry – it’s got a lot of appealing qualities. The price may be a little high, but probably not much.
#21608155
64 Thomas Lane, Falmouth
$1,349,000
Here’s a home with presence in a setting that reminds me of the Hamptons – gracious older homes behind privet hedges, and just one block from the beach. The house, however, needs either a buyer who wants the separate living area attached to the house for family or to rent out; or a buyer who will gut the home and capture that space. There is definite charm, nice high ceilings, and well-proportioned rooms in one part of the house. No garage, and definitely in the flood zone, but oh, the setting and location are prime.
New Listings, Part 1
From least expensive, to most, here are some of the new listings I’ve seen lately. Wait until you get to the most expensive – it’s eye-popping!
#21607727
19 Lt. Hauser Lane, Falmouth
$419,900
Here’s a unique home. The right side of the house is the original, the left side an addition. The two together make a home that feels much larger than the 1,088 s.f. on the listing. Good space; a great yard; a small, tucked away dead-end street smack in the middle of town. In good condition at a reasonable price – now, this is a deal! (And the one my 7-year client should buy, but won’t, because he can’t commit.)
#21607073
10 Cachalot Lane, Falmouth
$489,000
With 4 (very small) bedrooms, 2 baths, and 1,638 s.f., this would seem to be a good house for the money, especially because it’s in a desirable location near downtown and the bike path. But it’s on a busy corner; it’s up a steep hill; the rooms are small, smaller, and smallest; and it has no garage. The best thing about the house? A wonderful, spacious porch that’s also the entrance.
#21608747
21 Stone Wall Lane, Falmouth
$549,000
This traditional Colonial is in a nice downtown location in Greengate. I picture a medical professional and family here. With 2,352 s.f., and 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, it’s got elbow room, a good floor plan in a desired neighborhood, and is only 5 minutes from the hospital. It needs updating – but at this price, any house of this size in a good location will also. It’s worth doing, though – the “bones” are good.
