Ospreys are back! And busy building nests. This is on Mill Rd. near the bike path. There are at least two other osprey nests nearby, both also with wheeling nest-builders on Sat.

Here are some pricier homes that are in highly sought-after neighborhoods:
#21701234
3 Indiana Avenue, Falmouth
$899,000
This house is so appealing, but look closely at the pictures. There’s nothing but the essential furniture in each room. This is the perfect example of why staging is so successful. There’s nothing to distract the eye from the space and how it functions.
I find that sellers are sometimes reluctant to let me help them refresh their home; and they even find it difficult to “pre-pack”, which can make a huge positive difference in how their home shows. My logic is that they’re going to be moving anyway, so pack the nonessentials, and free the spirit of the space. See what I mean – 3 Indiana Avenue is small (3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and only 1,248 s.f.). But it sings!
#21700733
31 Indian Ridge Road, Falmouth
$1,200,000
This home is only 2 bedrooms, and it needs everything, but it IS in Saconesset. It will be interesting to see if the location can overcome the challenges.
#21610191
59 Menauhant Road, Falmouth
$1,300,000
This one is a little scary. It’s on the water, almost literally, at Bristol Beach on the Maravista-Falmouth Heights line. There’s a concrete revetment to keep the ocean out of the living room, but I’m pretty sure that the next hurricane will wash right through, as past storms probably have. And the house needs everything, unless you just want to camp out, and/or rent it out, in which case it’s a slam dunk. But it’s withstood all the historic 20th-century storms…somehow… and it’s still standing. This home requires a buyer with intestinal fortitude, optimism, deep pockets, and a big dream!

Here are some other new listings that will make any buyer’s heart sing:
#21710137
24 Lake Shore Drive, East Falmouth
$235,000
Here’s your tiny jewel at the lake! With views of beautiful Jenkins Pond, this 700+ s.f. cottage is just finishing up its makeover. Charming!
#21700659
10 Sand Pointe Shores Drive, Falmouth
$285,000
Here’s a not tiny but small (under 800 s.f.) home that checks off all the boxes for charm, comfort, condition, and price! Add in that it’s around the corner from one of the Jenkins Pond beaches and tennis court, AND it’s on a half acre so there’s privacy and room for an addition, AND it has a new roof and septic, as well as a fabulous porch- well, there’s nothing not to love! I expect it will be under agreement in days, if not minutes.
One of a Kind!
Here’s your opportunity, from the comfort of wherever you’re reading this, to tour one of the most interesting, sophisticated, and publicized homes in Falmouth: the Hutker property.
#21700896
14 Sippewissett Road, Falmouth
$1,495,000
Designed for himself and his family by Mark Hutker, the local architect whose firm’s designs are regularly on the cover of Architectural Digest and are sought after by celebrity and other well-heeled Vineyarders, this home makes brilliant use of a narrow, hilly lot. The 2.5-acre property, which abuts conservation land, consists of the main house, guest house, and in-law apartment, all with bucolic views across fields and a horse farm into woods. Lots of garages, privacy, and indoor-outdoor living, including a hot tub high up on a deck, and an outdoor shower accessed from the indoor shower in the owners’ suite. Very cool!
My New Listings
Our local MLS, under CCIAOR (Cape Cod and Islands Association of Realtors), changed vendors this past week. So most of us agents here on the Cape are spending all our waking hours trying to fix the glitches and figuring out how to use the new system. Also tearing out hair, swearing, throwing things, yelling at the computer…. Everything’s different, including the vocabulary, and the differences aren’t all that intuitive. I hope someday I’ll really like this system. But right now, not so much.
Assuming that the transition would be challenging, on the last day the old MLS was still live, I entered three new listings, just to be certain to get them in before we entered the nether world of a new MLS. It was a ridiculous day; my pace was frantic. I was chasing elusive sellers to get the signed contracts, and entering information that I hoped was correct, downloading whatever pictures/floor plans I had, clicking “Submit”, and holding my breath.
They all went live successfully, and here they are:
#21700770
174 Queen Street, Falmouth
$419,900
This is a wonderful small townhome right on Falmouth Harbor and around the corner from Main Street, Surf Drive beach, the Commodores, the ferry, the “everything” that is Falmouth! This home had been listed previously for a couple of years by two other agents, so my challenge was to breathe new life into it. My go-to stager extraordinaire, Rita Pacheco, and I spent just three hours and bought not one new item, but by editing and rearranging, the home looks entirely different! Our aim was to make it “coastal” and younger. Here’s the result.
#21701480
117 Worcester Court, Falmouth
$430,000
Talk about location and lot, this is a primo option! It’s hard to even picture a 17,000 s.f. level lot in the Heights, which is so dense; but this lot is eye-popping! If I had deep enough pockets, I would request a variance from the Building Department, and would build two attached fabulous condos, selling each for $675,000. This would be the essence of “win-win”, for the Town, the developer, and the lucky homeowners. But even if a variance wouldn’t be possible, restoring this charming Cape and putting on a kitchen-great room addition would give the buyer a spacious, 2017 home in the heart of Falmouth for under $650,000. This isn’t an opportunity that comes along often. It requires vision, cash, and project management skills, but the result will be spectacular!
#21701495
90 Cobblestone Lane, North Falmouth
$849,000
I’m happy to be collaborating again with Warren and Debi Dalton of Chappy, LLC, the much-admired local developers most recently of Westwind Cottages in West Falmouth. Cobblestone is a small cul-de-sac of all new homes next to the North Falmouth Elementary School. One home is built and occupied, and just appraised at $800,000; a second is built and about to be occupied. #90 will be the third home. At $849,000, it will have around 2,400 s.f., 4 bedrooms and baths, a study just inside the front door, an open floor plan, and a 2-car garage. There are never more than a handful of new homes in Falmouth at any time, and often what’s available is in an inferior location or setting. This one has it all: it’s new, it’s in North Falmouth, and it has the charm, detail, and quality that characterize every Chappy-built home. As we go to press, it has an accepted offer. But look at the great floor plan, and call me to talk about the next new home to be built on Cobblestone.
