Oyster Harbors House Auction

Filed under: Estates

If you want this home you'll need to move quickly it's being auctioned off on Monday, August 3. This home is located in a place I spent plenty of time in as a child, the community of Oyster Harbors in Osterville, Massachusetts. This gated community is no recent addition to Cape Cod, it was established in 1927 on Osterville Grand Island. Today's home is a mortagee's foreclosure being auctioned off by JJManning Auctioneers. Supporting documents show that it is owned by Krikor Baytarian, head of Norada Construction, the company which built the home.

The new 8,500 square foot home sits on approximately 1.52 acres. The five-bedroom home includes large common areas, library, third floor observatory, a first floor master suite and the potential for additional guest quarters over the garage. The property is enhanced with decks, patios, and an in-ground pool with cabana and a pool house with a full bath, laundry, changing rooms and a wet bar.

A $50,000 deposit in certified or bank check must be shown at the auction. The balance is due in 30 days and other terms will be announced at the sale. Related documents say the home was once listed at $5.85 million and the tax assessment is $3,312,300.

Osterville, Estate of the Day

This summer is one of the first in my life that I won't be visiting Cape Cod so I have a tender spot for Cape real estate at the moment. This home in the quaint village of Osterville in the middle of the Cape offers a few key features prized in a Cape home. This Pine Island estate is surrounded by water and has over two acres of space, much of it is unspoiled marsh. A deepwater dock provides quick access to the ocean. The house itself was built in the 1930s and has a charming shingled exterior. Because it is an older Cape home the ceilings seem a bit low and some of the rooms have been updated while others look like they haven't been touched in a while. Still, the bones are good and the charm is intact. The home is listed at $9.9 million. After the jump, an upstairs in desperate need of an overhaul.

Today's estate comes from the area I grew up in. This home in Osterville, Massachusetts (on Cape Cod) has over five acres of land overlooking West Bay, Osterville Harbor and Eel River including a 100 foot dock. The house was built in the early 1800s and has the low ceilings to prove it. The home is a classic shingled sprawl with nine bedrooms, multiple sitting rooms and libraries, a dining room and servants' quarters. It is listed at $15.5 million. Shots of the very New England interior (note the seascapes and oil paintings of the ancestors on the walls) after the jump.
