Could you live in it year round?
Tasteful friends of the DL, what do we think of this charming seaside home?

There's a definite pattern to the decoratoring.

The bathrooms are pretty hideous but I think I'd manage.

Charming. Love the widow's watch(es)
Ptown is dead for so many months out of the year that I don't think I could live there full-time.

Looks like a McMansion built of Legos spray painted by the garage band of huffers next door

Well, it has a lot of nice qualities, although most of the decor is dreadful. That gold bathroom is tres Scarface. Just needs some renovating. It's a little too much house for my needs, though.

From the outside it looks like a tiny Minas Tirith.

I stayed there for a week when it was a guest house. Around 2007 or so. The location is good in that it's in the East end but not too far east.

The view, beach, upper balcony are stunning, but the rest of it isn't too charming.

Is it a gift ? If it is, take it graciously and thank profusely.

Well, that explains the hideous architecture

Who would spend $3.495 Million for a house that's gonna float away in the next hurricane (70% likelihood of 1-2 this year)

Those photos are useless without a picture of the closetful of caftans.

I stayed in the little guest house on the left for a month a long time ago in the way-offseason. The place was fine but Ptown itself--good thing I had already stopped drinking.

There's plenty of home on the same stretch of Commercial Street in Provincetown that have been there for over 100 years. You have a point, but where these home stand, they're encased in a way by being within the curl of the cape.

Would could maintain all that decking and balconying in the face of some of the most severe weather in North America? The constant upkeep would be a 70-hour a week job. Realtor should have said: "repaint in neutral, stage in beige, then I'll sell it."

I like most of the interior, but that gold bathroom is horrible. I actually like that room with the red poppy/carnation(I can't tell which it is) print. I usually hate prints too.

Ah, yes. Yes indeed!

Low ceilings! Fake architecture! NO. Beach houses should be rattier than this, IMO. Even if you have a grand one, it should be somewhere comfortable, between impossibly horrible Hamptons lux, and Grey Gardens.

I could love it, once I threw away every bit of extant interior decoration!
Under all those hideous florals, 90s stone counters, and ghastly carpets, is a charming, livable, spacious house that's right on the ocean. I could happily spend 3/4 of the year hanging out on the balconies or strolling on the beach, and sitting by the fire in winter. If someone gave me the place and a redecorating budget as a gift, I'd happily make a life there.

Stunning.

I like it. Dont like some of the furniture but that'd be going anyway. It has a lot of oddly shaped rooms and spaces, like a lot of old houses - amazed to find it was built in 2006, it really does look older. that I like. I do not like the gold bathroom but there are three others, so I could live with it

I don't know if I'd want to spend the rest of my life living in Provincetown. I'd rather rent a place and go elsewhere after a couple of weeks.

R18 is on point. I'm 6'2" so my quick assessment is that the property is claustrophobia-inducing. I wouldn't buy it for any price unless I could quickly flip it and make a profit. That doesn't seem to be the case here.

Just an FYI, the 2015 troll @R20 is getting more inventive with the 5 year old threads it bumps. It doesn't mean they are a kindred spirit; just they are looking for threads that clueless members will jump in on and keep active. It is basically a bot that wont engage and just looks to dig up threads with potential that will cover the top 20 threads at any given time.
