Christmas wreaths were being installed this morning on Main Street. I wish they’d wait until after Thanksgiving. It’s such a nice holiday, celebrated by everyone and needing only time to prepare and share a delicious meal with people you care about. Have a lovely day!

4 Deacon Fish Lane, Falmouth
$2,500,000
This home was on the market a couple of years ago, and not a lot has been done on it since then. Although it’s just a few houses up from the charming harbor, it has barely a peek of water. At this price, I think most buyers would like to see the water, and have some kind of private beach. This has neither. Nor does it have a first floor owner’s suite. It is in nicely updated shape, though, and it does have an appealing kitchen. And it is in a charming location. This is another case of, in my opinion, a home that will have some price adjustment before being sold.

108 Gansett Road, Falmouth
$7,900,000
Yes, you read that right, it is almost $8,000,000. And needs a couple million in work. But oh my, what a house and property! The sweeping views of Buzzards Bay are a given; and the expansive space with 8 bedrooms, 5 baths, and almost 8,000 s.f. of living space (not including the 3-car carriage house and caretaker’s apartment) are as well. Add two acres of land and gorgeous original detail from the 1920’s. But the lack of updates is daunting. Barely has heat, even. It will be interesting to see whether the next owner will restore and update it, or knock it down and start over. And what price it sells at. But for sure, a really engaging house to show!

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.

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.
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!

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.)

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.

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.

118 Wild Harbor Road, Falmouth
$625,000
This interesting and meticulous home on an acre of gorgeous grounds dates from 1900 and was originally the barn of an estate. It was extensively renovated in the 80’s and 90’s, complete with raising the house and pouring a concrete foundation, so it’s in great shape. And unique! The floor plan is unlike any other I’ve ever seen, with first-floor living for owners, as well as 2 2-bedroom suites (complete with bathrooms) upstairs arranged off a central great room. Many of the rooms have full-height ceilings, and there are at least 7 skylights and a wall of glass across the back, exceptionally light and appealing. Contact me if you are interested and I will be happy to show it to you any time.
