West Falmouth Mystery Bike
Anyone know the story behind this bike? It’s been locked up along the bike path in West Falmouth for at least the last two weeks. It’s not near any intersection that the rider could, for instance, meet a friend with a car. Or go to work. It’s just in a random place…You lock it up, take off by foot, and never come back? Got to be a story there, and I can’t be the only one wondering.

The owners of the wonderful home I rented by the lighthouse on Wings Neck called to let me know the house is becoming available again. If I could live in two places at the same time, I’d jump on it.
It’s a wonderful, young home in a spectacular setting at the very tip of Wings Neck. (The photo of the lighthouse on the header above is one I took during my time there. Dramatic!)
Spread the word, and call me if you or someone you know wants to see it! It’s a fabulous 3-bedroom, 2-bath home for $2,100 a month in a million-dollar neighborhood with one of the most sensational views on Cape Cod. Opportunities like this don’t come up very often. I loved living there![/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
First Day of Autumn at Old Silver Beach
First day of Autumn, 82 degrees in Falmouth! Apparently I wasn’t the only person who thought the beach was a good idea. There wasn’t one parking space at Old Silver Beach. A perfect Cape Cod day, this is why we live here!
Trade-Offs, Part 1
I often say that every home – even the most expensive – comes with trade-offs. Here are some current examples:
#21606219
32 Jeffrey Lane, Falmouth
$279,000
Not a tiny house, but a small house – 908 s.f. The bedrooms are decent-sized, the closets are good, the house is younger (1994) and nicely built and maintained, the lot is 12,000 s.f., and there’s a good buffer of trees in back. The street is a nice cul-de-sac of similar homes. For under $300K, it’s probably the nicest house in town. Trade-off? No garage.
#21605721
5 Roberta Jean Circle, Falmouth
$369,900
Here’s a cute, 1,296 s.f. ranch with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a one-car garage, central air, hardwood floors, gas heat, irrigation, and a private yard that’s just the right size. And it’s in great condition! The trade-off? It’s a corner lot, and one of the streets is Old Meetinghouse, which gets quite a bit of traffic. But this is on the garage side of the house, so it’s invisible, and even the sound is buffered by the garage. I was not aware of the traffic when I was inside the home. So maybe this is an easy trade-off. The home is certainly well-priced, and offers good value.
#21606539
21 Pine Street, Falmouth
$539,900
This is a young, 3-bedroom, 3-bath, 1,799 s.f. condo that’s nicely built and in a nice location. It has that much-wanted first-floor bedroom suite, as well as 2 bedrooms and a loft upstairs. The living-dining area is a little tight as a result of the first-floor garage. The trade-off for this unit is that the location within the complex is such that views are of the street or the house to the rear.
