Lots to do this month on the Cape! Here’s what’s going on at the museums:
Real Estate Chocolate in a Sea of Vanilla
#21609654
19 Racing Beach Avenue, Falmouth
$1,600,000
THIS is the proverbial real estate chocolate in a sea of vanilla (although truth be told, I prefer vanilla to chocolate, so there goes the snappy cliche)! This listing is a dream, and actually fairly priced, considering it includes a buildable lot, which is probably worth at least $500,000. Both the home and the lot have water views.
The house is dated, and has low ceilings, which you can’t really do much about unless you just blow the house apart and start over. But I would work with what’s there, and capitalize on the vintage charm. I think it could be enchanting! With a first floor owners’ suite, and 5 more bedrooms upstairs (and 3 bathrooms), the space is nicely arranged. There’s a separate garage, with space above that as well.
And then there’s that buildable lot…a rare, rare opportunity. If I had the money – or a partner with the money – this would be an outstanding opportunity to build a fabulous home in a gorgeous setting, and to finance most of it with the “flip” after doing some limited work to the existing house and then selling it. The immediate $$ upside would be most unusual. The new house, probably costing $1,000,000 – $1,500,000 (including land), would be immediately worth $2,500,000 – $3,000,000. That’s a profit of at least a million dollars. I don’t know where else that kind of return is available.

West Falmouth Library House Tour
West Falmouth Library House Tour Sunday had lots of enthusiastic participants as always. I was a docent at 101 Old Dock Rd. Rita Pacheco staged it for the tour, with thoughtfulness and elan. A feast for the eyes and senses! Kudos to the committee and volunteers who work so hard to make this annual event such a success!

The historic Mill House on West Falmouth Harbor. In 19 years have probably driven by it a couple of thousand times, and had no clue how charming it was inside. Not much updating, and so very captivating!
This pianist was at the Wild Harbor Rd house. Musicians were at all the homes, the library and church. So many talented people in our community who share generously!
Falmouth Clippers Football in Championship Game at Gillette Stadium!
Go Clippers! Championship fight Sat. on the hallowed turf of Gillette Stadium between undefeated Falmouth Clippers and equally undefeated Marblehead Magicians. It’s a cliff-hanger, nail- biter and will almost certainly be an exciting game between two talented teams. We send off our guys with a police escort at 12:15 to go to the game of their lives in a place few probably ever dreamed they might play in – Gillette Stadium!
Cross fingers, hold breath, pray, send good karma – do whatever you do to let our guys know the entire town is thrilled for them. God bless America, the land of opportunity, where hard work can bring young men to a place they probably never even dreamed of playing in. The guys earned this, we – all 32,000 of us – are bursting with pride.
GO CLIPPERS!!!👏👏👏🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈‼️‼️‼️
