It’s time once again for Curbed Comparisons, where we break down what you can get at the same price point, style or size in five different Cape and Islands neighborhoods. This week, Barnstable listings for around $629,000.
[154 Commercial Street, Unit 3, Provincetown via Zillow]
Here now, eight Cape Cod properties asking around$629,000 – year round, single-families, an old-meets-new condo, views of Cape Cod Bay, fireplaces galore, perpetually pricechopped, in need of TLC, in contract, bulldozer bait, recently renovated, ready to rent, and move-in-ready – with a little something for everyone.
EAST FALMOUTH
Behold, waterfront bulldozer bait with rather amusing brokerbabble for $629K: “There is a perfectly good house on this land, but will need to have a new septic system due to the present one being too close to the water, and a corner of the dwelling is in a flood zone. So the potential for tearing down the house and building just a smidge back opens the prospects of this property to limitless bounds (other than the ones set by the state and town bylaws).”
NEW SEABURY
Unit 14 is an end unit townhome “in a very private setting located in the village known as SeaQuarters!” The 2BR, 3.5BA features a first floor master, gas fireplace, three-season porch, a finished lower level, and the community pool “just steps away.” Yours for $629,900.
CENTERVILLE
This updated classic Colonial on .46 acres was built in 1994 and features 5BR, 2.5BA in 2,696-sq.-ft. The listing hit the market in early February for $629,000 and was in contract by the end of the month.
HARWICH
“Great Value!!!” The excited brokerbabble aside, this updated 3BR, 3BA on .92 acres features a first floor master, a hot tub room (insert time machine joke here) and a bonus room over the two-car garage. Asking price is $629,000.
ORLEANS
Built in 1800, this 4BR, 2.5BA “has been fabulously restored and lovingly and meticulously maintained.” In addition to the 2,072-square-footer, there’s a barn and shed on the 1.04 acre lot. First listed in September for $639K, a December chop brought the ask down to $629K.
EASTHAM
First listed in March 2013 for $699K, this 3BD, 2BA upside-down Cape “across from the waters edge on beautiful Herring Pond” is now hoping for $629K.
TRURO
Here’s yet another in contract abode with a $629K price tag. This contemporary Cape with 3BR, 2BA sits on a tricked-out 1.13 acres with an “in-ground, heated, salt water pool with waterfall, a large hot tub, an outdoor shower and a large storage shed.”
PROVINCETOWN
Finally, to PTown. This 2BR, 1BA newly listed West End condo features water views, access to Cape Cod Bay just across the street and nice mix of 1890-meets-2015 in 975-sq.-ft. Asking price is $629,000.
