Buyer and Seller, two women of stamina and good will. Both have lost husbands in the last year, and both are moving forward with determination and spirit.

Maravista Ave being repaved after sewer install. Yay, it’s almost done!
The Shoe’s on the Other Foot
Usually I’m the one taking the pictures, but yesterday my kitchen was the subject of a photo shoot by Jon Moore, an architectural photographer. Gerrit Frase, architect, will be using the images for his portfolio and for publication in a Cape Cod lifestyle magazine he’s writing a feature article for. Here are a few seconds of “behind the scene.”

#21700887
617 Surf Drive, Falmouth
$1,799,000
This is a home we’re all familiar with, one of the first contemporaries on stilts by the bike path between Mill Road and Oyster Pond Road. It’s been used as a summer rental, highly sought-after at $6,000 a week because of the location and setting. It’s young and comfortable, with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths; it has a private beach; and it’s on the bike path – pretty much everyone’s dream of a summer house. It’s prominent and makes a statement, but there’s not much privacy for anyone who values that. But wow, those views and those breezes – breathtaking!
#21700939
22 Dusty Miller Road, Falmouth
$2,599,000
With a protected view to Racing Beach and not in the flood zone, this older Cape on 1.7 acres is in its original, decades-old condition. Seems like a high price, because by the time renovations are done, this will be close to $3,000,000. The land and view are special, and maybe the house will be also.

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!
