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!
New Listings, Part 1
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!
#21607727
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.)
#21607073
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.
#21608747
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.
Wings Neck Wing Chairs at Coffee O, Falmouth Village
Couple of weeks ago I was at Coffee O, and sank right to the floor when I sat down in one of the chairs. I realized that my seller on Wings Neck was dismantling the house, and this might be the perfect opportunity for his chairs to have a new life. Hugh Birmingham, the owner of Coffee O, was at the store . I asked if he might be interested in some new chairs, and this is the result: Wings Neck wing chairs find a new home at Coffee Obsession!
Happy Halloween!
