Description

Description

You will have the perfect family vacation in this 5 bedroom 4.5 bathroom lovingly cared for home in a sought after private neighborhood within walking distance to the beach and downtown Chatham. This oversized Cape has 4500+ square feet of living space and is air conditioned throughout.

The large wrap around deck provides for comfortable sitting and sunning while overlooking the large landscaped lot, perfect for whiffle ball or croquet. The deck is also equipped with a gas grill and provides a nice space and table for Al fresco dining.

The eat-in kitchen has a large table and chairs as well as an island with seating for four more. A Bosch dishwasher, stainless steel refrigerator, two built in wall ovens and lots of dishes and glassware make this just what the family chef needs for preparing delicious snacks and meals. There is also a formal dining room which can double as a puzzle or game table without interfering with everyday meals.

The large living room is comfortably furnished (sofa recently reupholstered), has ceiling fan, flat screen tv (not shown in pictures) and a cathedral ceiling. From here you go to the first floor master bedroom suite complete with its own bathroom, (his and her sinks), shower and a two person jacuzzi. It is completed with a king sized bed (which can also be made up as two twins).

The first floor also has a cozy den with desk for those needing to take some work on vacation, pocket doors for privacy and another flat screen tv. Also, on the first floor is a half bath, a separate laundry area(no running down to the basement to do laundry) and some additional cabinet space.

From the living room you ascend the staircase to the hallway with balcony overlooking the downstairs and out to the yard. From this hallway there are three bedrooms and two baths. One bedroom serves as the ''upstairs'' master with queen bed, en suite bath and a large sitting area. The second and third upstairs bedrooms are Jack N Jill sharing a bathroom. One has a queen bed and the other two twins.

The fifth bedroom is the ''bonus room'' over the garage offering complete privacy with its own full bathroom, and flat screen TV, this room has a queen and two twins-perfect for the teens, Nanny, or the couple with the new baby who don't want to disturb the rest of the household.

This home has many repeat tenants and a very high tenant satisfaction. The in-season weeks always sell out.

As the saying goes--''Its all about location''.

    A Perfect Stay
    June 2025

    Only great things to say about our stay here! You'll have all of the amenities that you need. Our party consisted of 12 adults. The layout is perfect. The rooms are spacious. We never felt crowded. Everything was spotless. The kitchen is fully equipped. We enjoyed lounging on the deck and late night movies in the den for the night owls. The walk to town is about a mile and we enjoyed strolling there for coffee and shopping. We'll be back!

    Beautiful Chatham home
    June 2025

    Our family of 12 spent an amazing two weeks in this beautiful home.
    In preparation for our trip, Paul was wonderful, answering all our many questions and providing us all the information needed.
    We often travel both in the US and overseas, staying in vacation rental homes, sometimes for as much as two months. We found the Chatham house to be one of the most well equipped, roomy, comfortable and perfectly situated rental homes we have stayed in.
    We highly recommend this amazing home for anyone wanting to stay in Cape Cod. show more show less

    Great Stay in Chatham
    September 2024

    My group of six adults had a very enjoyable week in and around Chatham. This property is so nice we wished we stayed longer so we'd have more time to just hang out at the house!

    House was Spacious
    August 2024

    The house was spacious, with a large wraparound back porch and back and side yards. The kitchen was clean and very well-equipped. The listing and photos were accurate, and Paul was very responsive to all questions. The house is on a quiet side street about 1 mile from town.

    Outstanding!
    July 2024

    Could not have been better! Roomy, clean, quiet, close to everything Chatham offers: baseball, beaches, downtown, band concert and more! We brought bikes this time, because there are some scenic, short rides right from the property. Huge grass areas for the lawn games we brought with us (best lawn for croquet ever!). Paul, the property manager, is easygoing, accommodating and generally lovely. Highly recommend.

    Chatham Manor
    June 2024

    Our family spent a very relaxing week at this amazing vacation dreamhouse in a very desirable location in Chatham, within walking distance of Oyster Pond, Bridge Street and the Chatham Historical Society and a short drive to some of Chatham's best beaches! The bedrooms, bathrooms, the kitchen and amenities are beyond compare! The parklike setting and location on Inlet Road is perfect for an extended family stay! We can't wait to come back again next year and the year after that! Chatham Manor, our new home away from home!! show more show less

    Wedding for my daughter
    October 2023

    The home was beautiful and just the right size for our family wedding for my daughter. The house was immaculately clean and very comfortable, we never felt like we were in someone else's home. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessary equipment. Moving around the cars to meet the requirements of not parking on the road was a little challenging but we were able to do it with the help from
    Paul and thank him for letting us use his driveway for additional parking. We were very pleased with everything about the home and it made our wedding week very comfortable for us. Thank you to Paul and the Howes's family for sharing their home with us. show more show less

    Absolutely Delightful Home
    August 2023

    This is without without a doubt a one of a kind home. Great property with lots of space both inside and out that is well maintained. The natural light that comes through all those beautiful windows is amazing. The location is ideal, making it easy to get to downtown and beaches. Paul is great. Always responds quickly if you need to reach out to him for anything. We look forward to returning again for our next family vacation.

    I went to Chatham in the Spring of 1977 to attend a conference at CBI. It was my first ever visit but I immediately knew it wouldn't be my last. In June 1980 we started looking for a second home on Cape Cod--it didn't take long to decide that Chatham was where we wanted to be. After looking at numerous properties we were lucky in September of 1982 to see a newspaper ad for this house. It was love at first site--quality construction, a super fabulous location and it felt like home.

    We were lucky! At that time is was a sprawling three bedroom, 2 bath all on one floor home. As our family continued growing (and getting married) we knew it was time to expand. We added approximately 2,000 square feet mostly as a second level - to include two more bedrooms and two ore bathrooms plus 2 large common rooms.

    Every time I plan on going there I feel as excited as I was when we first owned it. It is a special place.

    What is special about this property?
    Location, location, location. Quiet neighborhood on a private road yet a 10 minute walk to the Oyster Pond and a 15 minute walk to the heart of downtown Chatham. For an after dinner stroll head down the street to Stage Harbor or walk the ''popular loop''.
    The rooms are spacious and comfortable and there are 12 of them so an ideal place for your family/group to enjoy each others company yet still be able to have some private space and quiet time.

    Just about a mile from the Bike trail or head in the other direction to the Lighthouse Beach.

    The lot is large and has a flat area in the back for whiffle ball, croquet, corn whole or just playing tag and blowing bubbles.

    This house has hosted many memory making events for my family as well as the families of numerous other satisfied tenants over the years. Sixtieth wedding anniversary, several 80th birthdays, multi-generational family gatherings with people descending from all across the country or the globe.

    I had one tenant for the month of July who came back every year for 25 years until such time as her health prevented it. In her obituary it was mentioned that her most favorite place on earth was the house she rented in Chatham for the month of July.



    What is special about your town?
    How could you not love this town? Miles and miles of shore line, Summer Theater, weekly band concerts, Cape Cod Summer baseball league, any type of restaurant your palette desires. Don't forget golf, tennis, biking, paddle boarding and of course SHOPPING. Lots of boutiques to browse and buy. Chatham is a destination and a great place to spend your vacation.
