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.

Lazy Sundaes

September 20, 2016 by Nadine

Get it while you can! $5 quarts of delectable Richardson’s ice cream until they run out! Lazy Sundaes is next to The Daily Brew in Cataumet. I got Blueberry Pie, delish! Of course, I also got Choc Chip Fro Yo, Peach, and good old French Vanilla. It’s easier to decide on a house than so many enticing flavors…

Running The Main Street Mile

September 19, 2016 by Nadine

Joined about 180 others yesterday for the Main Street Mile in Falmouth, from The Quarterdeck, down Shore St. to the Beach House at Surf Drive. Such a family-friendly race! I definitely saw three year olds, and possibly some twos. For me it was a chance to run a race again, which I haven’t done since the Falmouth Road Race four years ago. Thanks to the Falmouth Track Club for organizing such a fun event!

All In A Week’s Work

September 15, 2016 by Nadine

I spent a good part of this past week with a couple from Florida, here to buy a summer home.  Much to the woman’s surprise, they flew home today with the most charming house just off Sippewissett solidly under agreement to them, and with the inspection accomplished as well.

How’d we do this?  To begin with, they’ve been online for what seemed to be 18 hours a day for at least the last month.  After basic familiarization with neighborhoods and prices, it stopped being productive, because you really just have to put your feet on the ground and see the neighborhoods; assess your reaction; evaluate your priorities (in this case, kayaking vs. biking; away from town vs. being near downtown); and figure out what trade-offs you’re willing to make.  Because there are always trade-offs!

The first day, we looked at 20 homes, either by drive-bys or going inside.  It was an exhausting day, but by the next day, there were only a few homes that made the short list to see again.  Here are some:

#21606802
211 Great Bay Street, Falmouth
$975,000

211-great-bay-street-falmouth

What a sweet house, so “beachy” and with glorious views!  But on the second day, surrounding homes not consistent with the quality and value of this one took it off the list.

#21605741
55 Seashell Lane, Falmouth
$900,000

55-seashell-lane-falmouth

This house is so similar to mine that I’m positive it was designed by Walter Yarosh, the same Falmouth architect who designed my house.  (He was busy in the 90’s; I keep seeing variations on the theme.)  This one is still original, but because I’ve just done a major renovation that included reconfiguring some spaces, it was easy for me to help my buyers envision what the house could be.  The setting, directly on Great Pond and facing west; and with a neighborhood dock, is superb.  But in the end, the prospect of managing a project of this scope long distance also took this one off the list.

#21607478
11 Place Road, Falmouth
$650,000

11-place-road-falmouth

This is the one that rose to the top.  The location is superb in every way, with a neighborhood trail to the bike path; a short half mile to glorious Woodneck Beach; and less than a mile to the activities and pleasures of Main Street, Highfield Hall, and Beebe Woods.  The price was fair, and because the buyers had seen so many homes, they had a solid sense of value and understood that.  The space was just right, not too big but not too small.  The trade-off is that yes, it does need a new kitchen and the addition of central air.  The buyers would have loved to have found a house that had these already, but they have a contractor they trust, and once the work is done, they’ll have a wonderful Cape house (with a spectacular kitchen!) in exactly the spot they wanted.  A great week!

Old Silver Beach

September 6, 2016 by Nadine

Old Silver Beach last Saturday morning at 8:30.  Tam and I had the beach to ourselves.  It was glorious!
