After last year, when a late frost nipped the buds and we had NO blooms, this year’s extravagance is especially stunning. These are at the front door of my listing at 31 Narragansett, which happens to be one of the prettiest and most perfect homes on the market. Click on the link and see that’s not just “broker talk”!
Here’s a sweet opportunity for someone to snag an outstanding waterfront rental for any time between July 25 and December 31. It’s fresh, it’s clean and the setting is exceptional – scroll through the photos below to see for yourself! The rental fee is $250 per night, $1,500 per week, or $5,000 per month until September 15. The fee is reduced after that. Please call me at (617) 921-7552 or email me at Nadine@falmouthfineproperties.com if you or anyone you know is interested.
It all started with this rusty thing I’ve been carrying from house to house, never finding the right place to put it up, but liking it too much to move it along to someone else. I also wanted a shady place to sit on hot summer days. So I moved the chaises to the space under the deck, hung up the rusty things, and let my sidekick Rita go to town creating this hideaway. It’s magical! And cool, in more ways than one.
Not every home is overpriced, however. Here is one that offers particular value:
#21700456
66 Old Menauhant Road, Falmouth
$742,000
This home is magic! The house itself is a comfortable 4-bedroom, open floor plan home, with a first floor bedroom suite and a wonderful porch. But the land, oh the land! To begin with, the asking price includes a separate lot, which alone is what makes this such a great value. But the land around the existing home offers one wonderful outdoor experience after another, from the built-in stone fireplace, to the pool and wisteria arbor, to the playing field, to the gardens. The home and grounds are enchanting! They were featured in Cape Cod Life in the April 2015 issue. Being at this home is like visiting a special museum. Every place I looked was another imaginative and beautiful sight. By the time I left, I felt as nourished as if I’d been at a multi-course feast for the senses. This property is exceptional! Here are some pictures I took recently:
#21711523
42 Clipper Lane, Falmouth
$995,000
Here’s a renovated home in the heart of downtown. It shows well, especially the kitchen, which is a “wow”. There are lots of spaces for kids and friends to be hanging out, including the hot tub and fire pit off the rear deck. Although the yard is not big, it’s enough, and because of the way the other streets and yards intersect, there is the benefit of extra space and privacy that’s very pleasant. One of my buyers made a cash offer of $950,000 that was rejected. We’ll see if someone else offers more, or if this is a case of an off-Cape seller mistakenly thinking our market is the same as the Boston area market, where apparently a seller can ask any price and will receive multiple bids. Cape buyers will pay fair prices, but rarely will they pay more than they feel a home is worth.
#21710842
4 Spinnaker Lane, Falmouth
$1,300,000
Again, this is in a fabulous location, on the corner of Clinton and Spinnaker, so it’s definitely downtown AND has deeded access to the private beach at the end of the road. It also has a half acre, fairly unusual for this location, and a two-car garage. But the floor plan makes no sense, and boy oh boy, does this house need work! It’s big, with 5 bedrooms and 4 baths; but the new owner will need faith and fortitude to make it a comfortable 21st century home. In the end, it could be worth $2,500,000 after $500,000 worth of renovations. As they say, it takes money to make money; and in this case, there is a substantial upside potential, as well as the enjoyment of a home in the best of locations.
#21711785
15 Tower House Road, Falmouth
$1,699,000
Top of the Heights, with views and sunsets. And completely redone, in great taste. Take a look, and then go right out to buy a lottery ticket!
