7 Oak Ridge Drive, Pocasset (Bourne)
$374,900

7 Oak Ridge

There’s an offer on the table, but it’s not accepted yet. John Barrett, my contractor, bought this house in 2007 and has done a top-to-bottom renovation. The quality is exceptional. At the end of a friendly cul-de-sac (the neighbors have placed chairs in the circle for late afternoon socializing), on a private, treetop half acre, the house has a huge main bedroom suite, as well as a fabulous new kitchen. And a new roof, new siding, new windows, new heat, new insulation – if you care about quality, location, and price, this is the one.

597 West Falmouth

Here is the very last unit at Westwind Cottages in West Falmouth. I featured #2 in the last newsletter; that’s now under agreement. This is what I said back then:

Thoughtfully planned by Warren and Debi Dalton, and meticulously crafted by Pinsonneault Builders, this community is unique. Westwind reminds me of a mews in England. It’s in the center of the village, with the West Falmouth Market on one side and the West Falmouth Library on the other; fresh and tasty breakfasts and lunches at the Village Cafe across the street, topped off with delectable ice cream at Eulinda’s; the bike path and private tennis just down the road; and Chapoquoit Beach an easy and very pretty mile away. 

#12 is one of the larger models, with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 2,400 s.f. If you were to build a new home in this location, you could never find a lot as good as this, they’re gone – but if you did, it would be $500,000. It would then cost $400,000 to build this unit with its detail, finishes, and quality of construction. So, don’t laugh – this is really kind of a bargain.

Seeing the home in person is so much better than reading about it! It’s hard to find new; it’s harder to find well-located; and it’s hardest to find well-done. Westwind has them all! Please call me for your private tour.

475 Wings Neck

This fabulous home also has an offer currently on the table, but I can’t say with confidence it’s going to be accepted.

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 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.

35 Alder Lane

Here’s a really nice house with 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, and 2,100 s.f. It’s in Wild Harbor Estates, which is a lovely, self-contained neighborhood in North Falmouth with its own beautiful sandy beach, boat launch, and tennis. The house has been tastefully remodeled and is in superb condition. Probably priced where it should be.

$1,349,500

Waterfront! Boat slip! Views! Young, immaculate, spacious (3,257 s.f.) – wow, wow, wow! But you’ll have to walk to the beach.

#21505824
$2,100,000

This one is all about the setting. The house is older, but it sits up high, directly overlooking Buzzards Bay, with views and a half acre! It’s dated. Buyers would take that into consideration when making an offer. I always say you can change a house, but you can’t change where it is – this is the perfect example of that.

Where I’ve Been Lately

My book of business is usually just about evenly divided between buyers and sellers, but at any one time, it can sometimes be more heavily weighted in one direction or the other.

Here are some of the houses that I’ve been showing lately to buyers:

#21505603
134 Nursery Road, Falmouth
$360,000

134 Nursery

This is a sweet little house in the middle of town, a much-wanted location. It’s tired and needs work, but the seller has just installed a radon remediation system and is about to install a new septic system. Important upgrades! The asking price is right, and because of the neighborhood, will hold value once updated. With 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, and 1,176 s.f., it’s a great first, second, or retirement home.

#21504086
21 Blue Shutters Lane, North Falmouth
$529,000

21 Blue Shutters

On a charming cul-de-sac off 28A in North Falmouth, this traditional Cape is in great condition, has a new kitchen, and the bike path is at the end of the street. But the best aspect is the truly backyard. I am seduced every time I’m there. The sellers have moved into their new home, so this is ready to go. With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and almost 1,900 s.f., this is a classic, comfortable Cape.

#21507813
34 Marla Lane, East Falmouth
$560,000

 
With 2,406 s.f., 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, an attached two-car garage, a half-acre lot, and access to crystal-clear Coonamessett Pond, this is an eminently livable home. Built in 1989, it will be sufficiently updated for some buyers, although not for others. But the bones are good, the floor plan perfect, and the price fair.
