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.
