The Best On The Beach – Provincetown

There are some gorgeous homes for sale in Provincetown and this architectural masterpiece on the beach in the East End of Provincetown is one of there best!

This magnificent home is being marketed for $2.99M. It has almost 3000 square feet of fabulous living space and another 1700 square feet of additional living space in outdoor decks. It sits on an acre of land with an accreting (growing) beach.

A masterpiece of architectural design, this award winning 4-bedroom, 4-bath home with 150′ waterfront frontage is one of Provincetown’s most distinctive homes and is extremely private. Designed by award winning architect, Michael Winstanley Architects, the house has been awarded a prestigious national Design Award. The house has also been published many times.

 

 

 

This home offers breathtaking views, blending seamlessly with the natural environment on 3/4 acre with an accreting beach. The 3,000 sf house also boasts 1,700 sf of additional living space in outdoor decks.

 

 

 

 

The living areas on the first floor include stunning 180 degree views of the harbor and sweeping views of Provincetown. An all glass living room and gas fireplace define Casual elegance.

 

 

 

 

Each of the four master bedroom suites presents a unique definition of customized tile showers and bath. An expansive outdoor cabana room with stone gas fireplace provides a perfect place for outdoor entertaining.

 

 

 

 

 

An elevated lit boardwalk provides access and privacy to the beach with views of Provincetown,  Truro Long Point and beyond.

This photograph of the boardwalk evokes the feeling you get from this incredible home. Open, almost endless space, water, sun and sky and most importantly the ease and comfort of waterfront living.

 

 

A joy to experience and a joy to show!

In a future post I will compare this to a $3M luxury property that just sold in our other favorite neighborhood – Boston’s South End.

My Top 5 Under $300K In Provincetown

Under $300,000 for a great Provincetown condominium… who’d think it was possible? Well, there are 50 currently being marketed below $300,000 in Provincetown and some are even on the water side of Commercial Street. 38% of the 132 condominiums for sale in Provincetown are under $300,000. They are downtown, in the West End, East End, Far East End toward Beach Point, out toward the seashore… what a variety!

I have combed through those 50 and picked out five of my favorites.  They represent a range of properties that I think will be of interest.

488 Commercial Street is in the East End near The Schoolhouse Gallery, and is being marketed for $299K. This is a charming 2 bedroom condo in the waterfront Bayshore complex in the East End.

                    

19 Center Street is a great one bedroom in a 5 unit complex with a fun outdoor community patio on the market for $299K. A well planned kitchen with a dining island, good size living room and a wood gas stove complete this comfortable offering.  There is parking for one car.

                   

23 Conant Street is a charming stand alone cottage with a sleeping loft being marketed for $265K. Bead-board walls, hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and recessed lighting all with a Near West End location.

                     

290-D Bradford Street is an adorable freestanding cottage in a 4 unit complex in the East End with an asking price of $259K. It has a separate bedroom and a full bath and the sweetest screened in porch and a rear patio. There is parking.

          

Number 5 is sort of a  tease… but a favorite because it is a full 2 bedroom condominium of close to 600 square feet on Commercial Street for $249K. There are no details or pictures as it won’t be available until mid June… I will put up details as soon as they are available.

These properties have great rental history’s and are in great locations providing an affordable entry into the Provincetown market. That’s my top 5 under $300K!

Broker Tour…Provincetown Style. WOW!

Our broker tour last Thursday of newly listed properties for sale in Provincetown was fabulous. We saw an incredible variety of properties priced from $279K to $2.195M. (I’m also including a favorite from the week before that is listed for $2.990M which is just stunning.)

The first property is in the far West End behind the Delft Haven Complex and includes a 3bed/2 bath main house and a charming 2 level, one bedroom carriage house, all on 3/4 acre. Listed at $2.195M. This property is gorgeous!

                         

This mid-century modern home on Priscilla Alden road harks back to the Bohemian roots of our wonderful community. This is a 2 bed/2 bath home and is being marketed for $995K.

                       

This stunning landmark single family home on Creek Round Hill Road is being marketed for $1.595M. This 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom west-end home has incredible water views from every one of these windows.

                     ..

We saw this property last week. This is one of the premier properties in town and is being marketed for $2.990M. With four master bedroom suites, multiple decks and a cabana terrace…and views for days it is exceptional. It is located on the beach in the far East End of town.

                     

I call this real estate soft porn…These properties are gorgeous no matter what price category you are in. From $775K to $2.990M.. The natural materials, impeccable design, siting, the interiors… all create lovely visceral reactions…take a look.

April In Provincetown

Real Estate News from our charming town is pretty darn good. April was busy with 11 condominiums sold and 4 single family properties sold. Last year in April there were 12 condos sold and 1 single family sold, so we are certainly on a similar sales track to last year which ended up being the best year for real estate sales since 2008.

The average sale price for condos was $358K and the median price was $285K. The lowest sales price was $187K and the highest was $610K. One of the sweetest condominiums sold was 56 West Vine St a 3 bedroom 3.5 bath townhouse which sold for $565K. This condo is in the West Vine association Sea Grass. The condo was sold by Bill Farmer at Beachfront Realty and listed by Lincoln at Sothebys.

 

 

I think this condo sale is important, not just because it was sold by my team member Bill Farmer  but the fact that it has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths,  1,481 square feet, sold for $565K… and is really beautiful. This property illustrates the great value that  exists in Provincetown real estate. It is a great year round home, second home or investment vacation home. It is hard to find this kind of value and income potential anywhere else…and it’s Provincetown for God’s sake! What could be better?

The average sale price of single families sold in April was $704K and the median price was $622K. My favorite single family property that sold in April was 31 Pleasant St, a sweet and quintessential Cape with 3 + bedrooms and 2 baths. We live a few doors down and have watched the evolution of this property over the years. This home beautifully represents the “average” for the month of April having sold at $675K. It is charming!

 

 

We are headed into the Spring Summer season here in Provincetown which brings a plethora of opportunity in entertainment, outside fun… and in real estate. There are 138 condominiums currently being marketed at prices from $129K to $1.85M. There are 55 single family homes being marketed from $349K to  $4.75M.  The variety of properties for sale is incredible and is reflected well in the two properties illustrated above.

Next up will be a discussion on pending sales activity and a look at some of the exceptional properties currently being marketed in Provincetown.

Provincetown Construction Everywhere You Look

There’s an awful lot of construction activity in Provincetown these days. East End, West End, downtown. Seems like you even have to watch for construction vehicle traffic everywhere you are – and it’s December!

Harborfront Landing at 333R Commercial Street is a newly completed luxury beachfront condominium development in the center of town. Currently, the new project consists of seven 1BR and 2BR homes from 465 to 798 square feet and listed for $476K to $998K – parking included.

 

 

 

 

Province Landing is a $14.5M, 50-unit rental community offering a high-quality, green community for year-round residents with moderate incomes. Located on an undeveloped parcel along Shankpainter Road, this project is a great new addition to the western most entrance to Provincetown.

 

 

 

Construction at Herring Cove Village Phase 2 is well under way with six new units targeted for summer 2012 completion. Located in the far West End very close to the moors, this great mix of 2BR and 3BR+ condominiums are priced from $749K to $1.399M.

 

 

 

 

A new 9-lot subdivision on the famed Murchison House property at 2 Commercial Street in the far West End is quickly moving ahead. Called Pilgrim’s Landing, the projects sits directly across from the Provincetown Inn with great water views. Phase 1 is already under construction and includes the renovation of the existing gatehouse (pictured), the grounds and the Murchison House designed by Walter Gropius.
