Listing broker remarks

Nestled on a private lane in one of Chatham's most sought after locations, this home has been enjoyed by the same family since 1946 and occupied as a year round home for 40 years. This is a rare opportunity to create your own Cape Cod retreat just moments from Oyster River, the Oyster River Boatyard, and nearby Hardings Beach. Bring your vision to the charming, light-filled home full of original character, vaulted ceilings and ready for its next chapter. Whether you're dreaming of restoring its vintage charm or exploring future possibilities, this is a rare chance to own in Chatham. The property is being sold AS IS. Buyers should anticipate the need for a new Title V septic system and replacement of the existing oil tank to meet current town requirements. All information contained herein is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed. Buyers & buyers agents should perform their own due diligence regarding future use and development potential and independently verify all information.— Compass
