Days of Our Lives, Cape Cod

October 17, 2016 by Nadine

I hope you’re enjoying relief from the summer’s heat and drought as much as I am. I’m reveling in being not too hot, not too cold, just right; and still having long-enough days so that – for instance – going out in the evening is a pleasure.

On a recent Sunday night the Woods Hole Film Festival showed “Sustaining Sea Scallops” at Coonamessett Farm, along with a multi-course meal starring, of course, scallops. It was cold and the rain was coming down in sheets, but the place was packed, and lively, to say the least.

Maybe this blog post should be renamed “The Food Report”, because in addition to scallops at the farm, and a super celebratory dinner at Water St. Kitchen in Woods Hole, last week was the annual Restaurant Week on Cape Cod. How many dinners could we fit in? For me, although I would have liked to sample a different place each night, all I could manage was one.

PB Boulangerie Bistro

Last year I went to Five Bays in Osterville, a delectable treat and easy on the pocketbook. This year I went to the PB Boulangerie Bistro in Wellfleet on Wednesday night. Oh my, it was exquisite! (Can food be exquisite?)

For $30, there was a first, main, and dessert course. We ordered the crunchy, colorful autumn salad and pate for the first course; organic roast chicken and cod in a butternut squash puree for the main course; and the most ethereal oeufs beignets for dessert that I ever could have imagined. And of course, bought a chocolate almond croissant and ginormous meringue to take home.

The atmosphere was convivial and continental; the open kitchen was the essence of what an open kitchen should be – serious, professional, well-staffed; and the owner found a few minutes to talk to all of his diners. Loved, loved, loved every minute!

If you missed it this year, there’s always next year to go to that place you’ve always wanted to sample, but haven’t gotten to yet. Chillingsworth in Brewster? Wicked in Mashpee? The Old Yarmouth Inn? Or what about Nauset Beach Club? So many choices, so little time…. Go on www.capecodrestaurantweek.com next autumn and make a plan! This is OUR time, it’s mostly just us, the locals. Enjoy![/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

Water St. Kitchen – Woods Hole

October 12, 2016 by Nadine

Dinner at Water St Kitchen in Woods Hole is a delight – imaginative menu, attention to detail, superior service, and really good food! Their iconoclastic point of view inspired me.

The owners of the wonderful home I rented by the lighthouse on Wings Neck called to let me know the house is becoming available again. If I could live in two places at the same time, I’d jump on it.

It’s a wonderful, young home in a spectacular setting at the very tip of Wings Neck. (The photo of the lighthouse on the header above is one I took during my time there. Dramatic!)

Spread the word, and call me if you or someone you know wants to see it! It’s a fabulous 3-bedroom, 2-bath home for $2,100 a month in a million-dollar neighborhood with one of the most sensational views on Cape Cod. Opportunities like this don’t come up very often. I loved living there![/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

Trade-Offs, Part 2

September 22, 2016 by Nadine

#21606308
581 Locustfield Road, East Falmouth
$569,000

581-locustfield-road-east-falmouth

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.

#21605527
80 Eel River Road, Falmouth
$2,595,000

80-eel-river-road-falmouth

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.

#21605646
223-217 Meadow Neck Road, East Falmouth
$5,295,000

223-217-meadow-neck-road-east-falmouth

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!

Trade-Offs, Part 1

September 21, 2016 by Nadine

I often say that every home – even the most expensive – comes with trade-offs. Here are some current examples:

#21606219
32 Jeffrey Lane, Falmouth
$279,000

32-jeffrey-lane-falmouth

Not a tiny house, but a small house – 908 s.f. The bedrooms are decent-sized, the closets are good, the house is younger (1994) and nicely built and maintained, the lot is 12,000 s.f., and there’s a good buffer of trees in back. The street is a nice cul-de-sac of similar homes. For under $300K, it’s probably the nicest house in town. Trade-off? No garage.

#21605721
5 Roberta Jean Circle, Falmouth
$369,900

5-roberta-jean-circle-falmouth

Here’s a cute, 1,296 s.f. ranch with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a one-car garage, central air, hardwood floors, gas heat, irrigation, and a private yard that’s just the right size. And it’s in great condition! The trade-off? It’s a corner lot, and one of the streets is Old Meetinghouse, which gets quite a bit of traffic. But this is on the garage side of the house, so it’s invisible, and even the sound is buffered by the garage. I was not aware of the traffic when I was inside the home. So maybe this is an easy trade-off. The home is certainly well-priced, and offers good value.

#21606539
21 Pine Street, Falmouth
$539,900

21-pine-street-falmouth

This is a young, 3-bedroom, 3-bath, 1,799 s.f. condo that’s nicely built and in a nice location. It has that much-wanted first-floor bedroom suite, as well as 2 bedrooms and a loft upstairs. The living-dining area is a little tight as a result of the first-floor garage. The trade-off for this unit is that the location within the complex is such that views are of the street or the house to the rear.
