If you’ve watched the “Million Dollar Listing” show on Bravo, you know that “million dollar” is just the threshold, and the prices go up from there.
There are some fabulous million dollar-plus listings in Falmouth, too. Here are some I’ve seen recently:
$1,995,000
This house is like a fine, small European museum. It was custom-built by the sellers, who spared no expense in either materials, design, or craftsmanship. The result is an eye-popping array of marble, mosaic, crystal chandeliers, brass tiles – you get the picture. The spaces are dramatic, supremely functional, and highly unusual on Cape Cod. This is not your typical, bleached wood, minimalist beach house.

26 Tower House Road, Falmouth
$2,150,000
Smack in the middle of Falmouth Heights, Tower House Road is another of the most desirable streets in town. The house has outstanding views of the harbor, Woods Hole, and the Vineyard. It’s young, built in 2005 and lightly lived in, so it’s in pristine condition. Architecturally, it’s the quintessential Shingle style, with two separate two-car garages – one of which has a guest apartment above. This house has it all: location, space, floor plan, comfort, and convenience – even a dunking pool (the smallest swimming pool I’ve ever seen – cute but no laps) for cooling off on a hot day.
$3,895,000
Gansett Road is one of the prime Woods Hole locations, and this house has almost three acres – THREE! – of grounds. In addition, it overlooks Quissett Harbor and the 18th hole of the exclusive Woods Hole Golf Course. All of this explains why the price is what it is. The house itself is vintage and has been in the same family for more than 50 years. They’ve obviously loved it just the way it is, but most new owners will probably want to do extensive updating. It will be interesting to see how quickly and for what price this house sells.
