The reason this is my favorite floor plan at Falmouthport is that it's one level, and the two bedrooms are separated from each other by the two bathrooms, closets, and the basement staircase. For a compact unit (1,036 s.f., 2 bedrooms/2 baths), there is unusual privacy inside. There's also privacy outside, as this is an end unit. With windows and sliders on three sides that face south and west, cathedral ceilings that soar, and a view through the unit to the perfectly private deck and gardens, this little place lives larger than the square footage would lead you to believe. An estate sale, the asking price of $235,000 positions this unit as the lowest price currently for sale in Falmouthport. And it's adorable!

The seller and I both think that the town assessed square footage of 1,382 s.f. is less than what it actually is. With a kitchen that's the size of the usual kitchen plus dining room; a beautiful cathedral-ceiling, fireplaced living room; three bedrooms (two of which are king-sized); and two baths, there's a lot of elbow room here. The oversized two-car garage; gas heat and hot water; central air; spacious deck; and level lot of over 18,000 square feet all add to the comfort and ease of living in this well-built, lightly-lived-in home. Swimming at Jenkins Pond is part of the pleasure of living on this desirable White Pines cul-de-sac. In addition, it's only a few minutes' drive to downtown Falmouth and Mashpee Commons.

As a former homeowner on Fox Lane, I can attest to what a great location this is. Just a half mile from Old Silver Beach; with 54 acres of conservation land behind the house; the bike path at the end of the street; AND with walking (and horseback riding) trails through the woods adjacent to Bourne Farm, I loved living on Fox Lane. The house? Not so wonderful right now, but could be. So if you have enough money, time, and fortitude to buy the house and do some work, you'd end up with a great house in a great neighborhood.

This one I like because it has potential for both an investor and a boat owner. With 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 3,056 s.f., it's eminently rentable. It's light, bright, and in great shape! At the same time, the deep water association dock at the end of the street will send you off to the Vineyard for lunch or dinner, an overnight in Newport, an expedition to the Elizabeth Islands, a good old deep sea fishing trip, or a trip north for Boston fireworks or Maine lobster. This is a classic case of "if you have money, you can make money." Rental income can do a lot to support this asking price of $649,000.

If you were one of those kids who spent time in the summer at a big old summer house with extended family and friends - or maybe you just saw a movie about that - this house will resonate with you. Fully functional, not terribly updated but very charming, this is the kind of place where summer becomes a verb. Barefoot living, swinging screen doors, trips to the homemade ice cream parlor, kids of all ages, deep breaths, and making memories.

This house had me at the drive-up, and sealed the deal inside the door. With 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 1,800 s.f., it's just enough space to work comfortably. Only a few houses from the private Racing Beach, the orientation inside the house is westerly over the marsh and toward an inlet of Buzzards Bay. The secluded deck runs the entire length of the house, and the view is breathtaking. The Racing Beach area is exclusive in a good way. It's never going to be much more built up than it is; homes are gracious, well-kept, and the essence of quiet quality. This house will always retain its value.

I watched this house being built, and loved it. It's interesting and graceful, and every detail and proportion is just right. Coming from Ms. Fussy (me), this is high praise. So I was curious (more than usual) to see the inside. It's stunning! An architect's or designer's delight, there's lots of gleaming white and cool marble, fireplaces, studies, nooks, built-ins - the list goes on. I actually did that stereotypical broker thing and called one of my buyers as soon as I got in my car. The house is priced about a half million under what it could be. I told him,"I've never said this to you before, but you and Laurie need to get in the car and come ASAP to see this house!" In my dazzled state, I neglected to notice that there's no first-floor owner's suite. So no deal for this buyer. But the house is truly stunning!

Here's nourishment for you house gourmands. Both of the homes above could easily be movie sets. Westwood faces west, with sweeping views of Buzzards Bay; and the rolling lawns of Little Island lead to a private, secluded beach. Two different environments, equally mesmerizing. Both houses are young, although Little Island is, in keeping with its understated neighborhood, more classic. The Little Island neighborhood is one of rutted dirt roads that wind around, with hand-painted family name signs on trees to guide the visitor. Westwood is, well, "only" spectacular.
