There’s a special beauty in these winter afternoons at the Cape!
Happy beach sticker staff!
Last weekend at Ellen Mitchell Bath House at Surf Drive Beach.

Even fog is a “moment”.
Hot New FFP Listing!
#21601353
Consistent with the market, this one came and went in one day. I met the Sellers when I listed a home across the pond last summer and we’d been talking since about listing their home. It’s a sweet house in a very sweet spot! On the west side of Siders Pond, the frontage is special for kayaking, sailing your Sunfish and yes, even swimming – not to mention lollygagging in the hammock watching the sun sparkle off the wavelets.
The location is coveted, with Main Street an easy walk in one direction, the bike path practically at the end of the street, and Surf Drive Beach just down the road.
The house is vintage 1945, with both the charm and the challenges that go with that. I worried that Buyers would complain about the steam heat, the original kitchen and baths, or the lack of central air, but fortunately the few people who saw the house loved everything about it. One family personified the buyer qualities mentioned previously: they came, they saw, and they conquered. In other words – they were the first appointment, they made an immediate full price offer, and their paperwork was pristine. At the end of April, they will be the appreciative new owners of 4 Pond Road.
Where I’ve Been Lately, Part 1

This is the cutest Falmouth Village house I’ve seen in a long time. It’s small (1,005 s.f. with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath), but completely captivating. Built circa 1950, the original detail has been magnificently maintained, including the kitchen that’s straight out of a movie set. The 7,000 s.f. lot, typical for this in-town location, has been landscaped into “rooms”. There’s privacy and appeal in every direction. Plus, it’s a quick walk to the Art Center, Main Street, bike path, library, and pretty much anyplace else you want to go. This is a great house at a great price!

If you love this downtown location but want a bigger home and a garage, this would be a good choice. With a location that’s south of Main Street, this has “walk-to” appeal, with the addition of Surf Drive Beach. Three bedrooms, 2 baths, and 1,530 s.f. make this 50% larger than Hamlin. But the price is more than 50% higher. Is it pricey for what it’s offering? Maybe…
