The brokerbabble for this listing begins, “Magical Hook Pond Properties are being offered together for the first time since 1968.” No arguments there—they’re lovely. One has been recently tastefully renovated and the other is “ready for an update.” The newer cottage is four bedrooms and four baths on about one acre; the older one is three bedrooms and three baths on about one acre, “with endless expansion possibilities.” Location is right on Hook Pond, with a large beach parking lot right next door! Oops. The price is going to have to come down, we think, to attract a buyer. For about the same price, you could get oceanfront. · Immediate Ocean Access on Hook Pond [Sotheby’s]
