Cranberry Harvest at Bourne Farm, 2017
Fresh Cape Cod cranberries are starting the journey from bog to Thanksgiving table. This was the scene yesterday at the back bog at the Bourne Farm bogs. Did you know this is the oldest still working cranberry bog?
Stay tuned this week for more cranberry posts.
Falmouth DQ 3/6/17, 3:45 pm.
Yesterday at Falmouth DQ – don’t worry, the line is long even now!
February on Cape Cod
Ground’s not frozen. Rhodies are being moved up the hill from the house being sold because the buyers didn’t want them. Bill Bourne, West Falmouth’s own “mountain man”, is behind the wheel.
Real Estate Gems (Part 3)
#21700686
38 Clowes Drive, Falmouth
$750,000
This is the first week on the market for this traditional Cape in Sippewissett Highlands, a sought-after neighborhood near hospital, downtown, and with private beach and tennis. The asking price of $750,000 may be on the high side for this 3-bedroom, 3-bath, 2,483 s.f. home, especially because there is a full flight of stairs to get into the house, and many of our buyers in this price range prefer one-level living, even if there are guest bedrooms upstairs. On the other hand, certain of the departments at the hospital (cardiology, for one) require that doctors live within ten minutes of the hospital. There’s not much else to choose from, so if there’s one doctor who either wants or has to be close to work, this home could sell quickly for probably a bit more than its value might otherwise indicate.
#21610350
55 Pin Oak Way, Falmouth
$810,000
Last, but hardly least, is 55 Pin Oak Way, with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 1,867 s.f. Another really sweet home, recently refurbished with charm and taste. If you’re not superstitious about abutting a cemetery, the views are (sorry!) peaceful. Location couldn’t be better – quiet road, path to Main Street in one direction, half mile to the beach in the other, and the bike path across the street. This is why it’s $810,000. Location and condition really do matter.
