There's nothing like a snowy, windy blizzard to get us thinking about sunny, summer days. We last took a virtual trip to the beach in November - on yes, a snowy day. Here's an updated map of Cape Cod's least expensive beachfront listings, by town, with 15 sandy abodes asking $499,000 to $3,300,000.
Asking $565,000, this classic Pocasset beach house features access to an association beach and dock plus "spectacular ocean views and sunsets." The 5BR, 1.5BA 1,888 square footer has been in the same family for 36 years and includes a porch, outside shower and a gas fireplace.
"Oceanfront Duplex at Sagamore Beach!" Each unit in this ranch-style 1,225 square footer features 2BR, 1BA with separate entrances, parking and decks. Asking price is $699,900.
We wrote about this Jetty Lane property on our map of available teardowns back in August. The existing 5BD, 3BA requires major restoration, but sits on 1.16 beachfront acres. Dunes, westerly views and sandy beach are yours for $2,185,000.
This Barnstable Village contemporary first hit the market in October 2012 asking $2,249,000. Three pricechops later, the 3BD, 2BA "on the sandy shores of Barnstable Harbor" is down to $1,695,000.
Per the listing, "This classic Cape Cod home is beautifully sited on 1.2 acres with 200' feet of waterfront & high elevation & protection from inclement weather." Built in 1934, this 3,980 sq. ft. 6BR, 5.5BA has been on and off the market since it debuted in May 2010 asking $2,650,000. Three-plus years and three chops later, the ask is down to $1,795,000.
Appropriately located on Ocean Avenue, this beachfront 4BD, 2BA has views of Nantucket Sound from almost every room. Built in 1940, the 1,350 sq. ft. Curbed Comparison's alum is asking $849,000.
Just how much does a "rare beachfront opportunity" go for in Harwich Port? This 4BD, 2BA on .95 acres overlooking Nantucket Sound will run you $3,300,000.
Available for the first time in 30 years, this South Chatham beachfront cottage with an "established rental history" is on the market asking $2,000,000. The 2BR, 1.5BA features "sweeping elevated water views over Nantucket Sound out to Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge!"
Built in 1955, this contemporary beachfront home features 4BD, 2BA. With "stunning views of Nauset beach," the property "has a successful rental history exceeding $50,000 in rental income for July & August for 2013." Asking price is $1,600,000.
This adorable beachfront bungalow was built in 1948 and comes with private steps to Cape Cod Bay. The 3BD, 1BA 768 square footer first hit the market in 2011 for $1,300,000 and is now asking $879,000 - no doubt something to do with the need for a "stone revetment."
"Living on the edge!" This 4BD, 3BA sits 80' above sea level on Sunrise Dune in the Cape Cod National Seashore. The 2,500 square footer overlooking the Atlantic Ocean hit the market in May for $1,250,000. Three pricechops have brought the ask down to $995,000.
The current owners purchased this bayfront building back in 1963 for $16,000. Fast forward to today and the circa 1860 seasonal two-family is on the market for $1,500,000. That's a 9,275% jump in value for a fixer-upper "in the flood zone."
