475 Wings Neck

June 18, 2015 by Nadine

#21503812
475 Wings Neck Road, Pocasset (Bourne)
$1,990,000

Back in the day when I lived on Wings Neck, I spent many happy moments in this wonderful house. On over two acres and with a beach on Buzzards Bay, the setting is outstanding, with sunrise to sunset views. In between east and west is south, where you see a parade of boats coming, going, and fishing. The photo of the lighthouse below should look familiar – it’s the header I use. (It shows up again in the Falmouth Library exhibitBourne.)

The house packs a lot of living into an efficient and functional floor plan, with owners’ suites on both the first and second floors, and an additional two bedrooms in the full walk-out lower level. It’s actually a very good value for this location; the lot across the street – with no house – has the same asking price. This home is in terrific condition, but knock-downs and rebuilds in Wings Neck can go for up to $5 million. So live in it as is, or create something new – either way is pretty fabulous.

Ask me to show it to you. It’s even better than the photos!

Mashnee Island

May 21, 2015 by Nadine

Mashnee Island mailboxes say a lot about that beloved community, don’t they? Traditions of the “old days” still exist, and it’s all about community. So appealing!

Diary of a Seller: “Walking in My Sellers’ Shoes”

One of my Facebook friends recently commented, after seeing posts of my road trip to Florida, Georgia, and NYC, “Boy, you really get around, Nadine!”

Here’s the “rest of the story” of what I’ve really been up to…

I’m in the middle of selling and buying a new home – again! This time, like the last time, my house wasn’t on the market. But friends of friends were looking in Brookside, and stopped by my house while they were here. When I asked them what they thought of the other homes, they looked at each other and said, “We want yours!”

It didn’t catch me completely by surprise, as the same thing had happened just two days earlier, with clients I was showing Brookside homes to. That did surprise me. But this time, having had two days to consider it, I was more open to the possibility.

I love my unit, which I renovated with great care and detail; love my neighbors, can’t say enough about how welcoming and fun they’ve been; and love Brookside, which is unique among Upper Cape condo communities in ways that matter to me: overall beauty and quality, sound financials, and amenities such as garages and a heated pool that stays open through September.

But the reality of my life is that I’m back and forth to Falmouth 7 days a week at least once a day, which is 26 miles and 40 minutes.

That’s okay, but many days I have two round trips, and some days I have three. By that third trip, I’m cranky. I’ve wasted too much time driving up and down the highway.

My schedule is often unpredictable, and some days things come up during the day for which I need something that’s home; some days I’m too tightly scheduled to get back and forth to get whatever it is, and I have to do some fancy dancing. I’m conscientious, so this bothers me.

But there will be a trade-off. Falmouth is more expensive than Bourne, and I won’t be able to buy a home with the comforts, condition, and convenience of Brookside. A tough trade-off!

Back to the buyers: Knowing that it was going to most likely be very difficult to find a suitable new home quickly, I asked for a three-month “rent-back”. This enables a seller to stay in the home for a period of time after the closing, paying rent to the new owner. The buyers agreed.

The takeaway? You need resilience, nerves of steel, creativity, flexibility, an ability to compromise – and it helps to have the guidance and support of a trusted agent – to sell and buy in the current market.

Also, I think that every agent should be a buyer and seller every few years, just to experience what a very stressful process it is.

And to enjoy the result! Here they are. My buyers are the best! They appreciate the effort and care that went into making a beautiful home to pass on to them.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
