Wow, talk about views! This small (1,200 sf, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths) ranch is ON Little Pond, with unobstructed views not only up and down the pond, but across it to Vineyard Sound. With its south and west orientation, the light in the house is irresistible. And those sunsets – man, they don’t disappoint! In addition, there’s now an oyster farm at the town end of the pond. I lived on Little Pond for many years, and there were few pleasures as delightful as paddling the pond, seeing what there was to see.

This house is pleasant, and in good shape, but an energetic buyer with some vision could make it dramatic. If the buyer has a mortgage, flood insurance will be required. Currently, it’s about $3,500 a year, not horrible. The bonus? Sewer connection has been approved, and will be happening in a couple of years. The cost to the new owner will be about $500 a year for 20 years. Not a high price to pay for a great benefit.

This one kind of stole my heart. A sweet ranch, in wonderful condition, with generous open living, dining, and kitchen spaces, and with a cathedral ceiling in the living room. There’s wonderful indoor space that opens through two sets of triple sliders to a large mahogany deck, small yard, and Fresh River right outside your door. Put in your kayak, or sit on the deck and be delighted with the antics of the birds and ducks. And if you want the beach, Surf Drive is only 2/10 of a mile away. This is the epitome of “beach house”! A little pricey, but I’d encourage a lower offer.

This has been on for a while, and I don’t know why I haven’t shown it before. I was very taken with it when I showed it yesterday. The setting is among tall pines, and it’s directly on Mares Pond. The kayak was still at the shoreline, waiting to take some lucky person fishing. The house is unconventional, and as welcoming as any home I’ve ever seen. Every room has direct views of the pond. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are open to one another, so there’s light, views, and cross ventilation throughout. The neighborhood is diverse, with some smaller homes. Some buyers might not like that. But once you arrive, this house is in a world of its own. Captivating!
