High, Low, and In Between – Part 3

by

This is Part 3 of my top picks of some great homes that have recently come on the market.

#21604613
$900,000
 

 

I was looking forward to seeing this house because it is on Wings Pond, but when I got there, although the house has lots of glass along the back and a big deck, the leaves on the trees obscure the view, so this is probably a great view in the winter only. Good floor plan, with first-floor main bedroom suite, and the finished basement, and a two-car garage; but also sporting that Florida ambience.

$2,189,000

 

Now we hit the big time in terms of price. This is really a beautiful home – young and well-designed, built, and decorated. But there’s a big new house on stilts going up across the street that is smack-dab in the middle of what used to be the view from this house.

#21504960
$2,200,000

 

This is in another one of our secret little neighborhoods. Black Beach is a private continuation of public Chapoquoit Beach, so it’s sandy, gorgeous, and has those spectacular Buzzards Bay sunsets. The neighborhood consists of small, windy dirt roads that have been here for 100 years. It’s really charming! This is an older home that’s been redone, and has charm, space, comfort, and location.

#21605085
$2,500,000

 

Vernon Ave. is classic Falmouth Heights, and this is a classic Falmouth Heights beach house! Set high on a hill, the views of Vineyard Sound and the Vineyard are all-encompassing. With 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, it will graciously accommodate most buyers’ needs. When you add in the wrap-around deck, bow windows, beautiful hardwood floors, a balcony, and an outstanding renovation that kept the provenance of the house uppermost, this home is a joy to see and to be in. If I win the lottery, this is the one I’ll buy!

#21605128
$4,995,000

 

Carey Lane is yet another private, exclusive Falmouth neighborhood. Perched high above Buzzards Bay and adjacent to The Knob, there are probably only about 20 homes here, most with stunning west-facing views. I’m guessing this was the original home on Carey Lane, because it is quite a bit older than the others, and it shows its age. Rooms are small, floor plan not what we look for today, and the floors are uneven. It’s not out of the question that even at this price, the house could be a “knock down” because the setting is exponentially stunning. The one thing I would save is the cutest “she-shed”.

High, Low, and In Between – Part 1

There are some eye-popping, really expensive homes that have recently come on the market, and I’m including my top picks here.

But you know I like to address all price ranges, so from lowest to highest price range, here we go.

#21604707
49 Dove Hill Road, Falmouth
$550,000

 

There’s not much for sale currently in North/West Falmouth in the $500’s, a very popular price range. This one fits the bill. It’s a spacious (2,352 s.f.) Colonial with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and lots of upgrades on a nice side street. The unique feature is a main bedroom suite over the garage, which would work really well for some people and not at all for others.

#21604579
14 Hidden Village Road, Falmouth
$599,000

 

Also in West Falmouth, this is a good house that gets most of the job done. The first floor has been redone because of a broken water pipe last year. The limitations for some buyers are no first-floor bedroom suite and no garage, but because it’s on a half acre, both of these might be possible. The question is setbacks from a vernal pool and the septic system. Under the circumstances, the asking price seems a bit high.

#21605063

 

This house has common ownership to five dappled acres right behind the house and a path to a simply beautiful, almost 500-foot-long sandy beach on Ashumet Pond. The house is just right at 1,778 s.f., and it does have a first-floor bedroom suite and an attached garage. But really, the best thing about it is that spectacular pond. I was there last week on a hot Saturday, and there were only two people on the beach and no one boating on the pond. A secluded, secret spot!

 

Coping With Record Low Temps

by

So what’s the best way to cope with record cold temps? Channel summer of course, with an awesome lobster roll at Quahog Republic!

Met Carol, Barry and Doug for lunch. This was as tasty as it looks. Tomorrow’s lunch is at The Trap with my childhood BFF, Sharyn. This is how you get through New England winters – meet friends every day for lunch or dinner !

Come With Me to Work

Here’s when being a Realtor is so fun: I showed two homes this afternoon, very different from each other, that were a joy to see and show to my buyer.

#21506287
55 Bournes Pond Road, East Falmouth
$1,475,000

55 Bournes Pond

55 Bournes Pond could be one of the most perfect homes I’ve ever seen. It has everything – location fronting on a dirt road in the Manauhant Yacht Club district (magical!) and rearing directly on its own west-facing waterfront, perfect for kayaking, clamming, sunfishing; a size that’s not too big but big enough, with a first floor owner’s suite complete with office/exercise room with windows on three sides overlooking the view, and lower level guest rooms, all also facing the water; fabulous updated condition, with not only kitchen and baths that meet Ms. Fussy’s approval, but even paint colors, trim, and hardware that earn my admiration. Even new systems! Not a bad price, either, at $1,475,000. Location, views, Menauhant Yacht Club, floor plan, detail, systems, condition…oh my!

#21508168
19 Atamannsit Road, East Falmouth
$780,000

19 Atamannsit Road

This home is next door to the one house I’ve owned that I regret selling. The setting is like nothing else in town, or anywhere else I’ve ever been. Atamannsit was 100 acres of dairy farm back in the early years of the 20th century, owned by two or three brothers who each had a home on the property. As their children grew up and started their own families, the brothers built simple knotty pine cabins for each of their children, and the woods began to fill in the pastures. The cousins and then their kids spent their summers in this idyllic setting on spring-fed Coonamessett Pond. In around 2005, I bought one of these cottages, along with its acre and a half and 150 feet of soft, sandy beach on the pond. We spent a couple of memorable years there. But I couldn’t ever get quite comfortable alone there in my cabin in the woods at night, and so I sold it after the second year. For $550,000! As I said, the setting is unbelievable.

Around the time I sold, someone bought the cabin next door, knocked it down, and built a simple but pleasing and totally energy-efficient 2-story, 4-bedroom, 3-bath home, complete with a full basement, giant screened porch, and solar panels. They too have an amazing sandy beach, all 160 feet of it. This is the property that’s for sale now, for $780,000. I think it’s a good deal. It’s certainly an unusual opportunity for someone to own an almost-new, interesting home in a spectacular setting for a fair price.

This is why I love my job – who wouldn’t love showing great homes in amazing places to nice people?!
