Make Your Move To Falmouth, ME

This timeless colonial in Falmouth offers versatile space both indoors and out. Entering the home you'll find an open concept kitchen to living, family and dining room. Situated on just over an acre, this private backyard has a deck large enough to invite the whole neighborhood over! Don’t forget about the large bonus room above the three car garage - the perfect office space, rec room or guest quarters.

Just Moved? Now What...

If you just moved into a home and are on a limited budget then there are a few things you could do to spice up your space.  For instance, pops of greenery enhance a room.  Adding accessories to shelves are another small thing to do, or buying beautiful pillows at say Target or Home Goods.  Lighting, and this can be done on a dime!  I found some incredible copper-esque pendents and a chandelier to dress up my kitchen space.  Best of all, I only spent $400 to do so.  Lowes and Home Depot, or maybe even your local store can help you save while dressing up your space.  Last, but not least, perhaps you could paint!  Tip for resale?  Keep rooms painted in a neutral unless this is your forever home.  It will help you when you go to list in the future!  Enjoy your new space, and remember that Rome wasn't built in a day.
