Trade-Offs, Part 2

September 22, 2016 by Nadine

581 Locustfield Road, East Falmouth
$569,000

This is a charming home, one I describe as a “sophisticated farmhouse”. What’s that? A simple home, with exposed beams and nice detail; an updated kitchen and bathrooms; an unusual floor plan that includes entry through a screened porch; and orientation to the 2 acres of grounds with heated pool and hot tub. What’s not to like? Probably the sound of traffic going by, which included the rumble of lots of construction trucks the day I was there. But also, there’s no garage or central air, and the house is set sideways on the lot, without much curb appeal. This all would be an acceptable trade-off at a lower price, but I feel there are better choices in this price range.

Going to the other end of the price spectrum, here’s a good example of an expensive house that still has trade-offs. The good: It’s young, built in 2011, so has a super floor plan, nice detail, fabulous kitchen and baths, and lovely expansive views of the water from the living spaces and the decks and patio that run the entire length of the house. The trade-offs: The next-door house is really close. In addition, the bedrooms are, well let’s just say, not large. Not small, but smaller than what we usually see in this price range. Also, there are three bedrooms in the main house, and the other two are part of a suite over the (3-car) garage. This could be good, or not, depending on the buyer.

223-217 Meadow Neck Road, East Falmouth
$5,295,000

This is among the most expensive homes currently on the market, and the reason is obvious: It’s two homes, on two separate waterfront lots. One home is young, large, gracious, on two acres and with a lovely sandy beach on Waquoit Bay. The day I visited, there were a couple of clamdiggers in front. The other home is a small guest house, very cute, clean and comfortable on its own acre and with an in-ground pool. This smaller home would probably sell in the million-dollar range (although the listing agent estimated $1,800,000). Either way, is the other home and property then in the $4,000,000 range? We’ll see, but seems high to me. There is no dock and Waquoit Bay is shallow. In my experience, it’s the boaters who spend the bucks on expensive waterfront properties, and this one wouldn’t be conducive to keeping the boat at home. At least, if the boat is bigger than a kayak or a dinghy!
