Lovely family friendly beach house in Chatham is perfect spot to create memories with family and/or friends.
It has a deck and huge flat yard for games and BBQ's, outdoor shower, AC, wifi, gas firepit, big kitchen with an island and dining table, large dining room, adjoining living and sun rooms. It's minutes from beaches, ponds, bike trails, fishing, kayaking, and shopping/dining in quaint downtown Chatham.
At the end of a quiet private road with just four houses, the house is located on a gently rolling peninsula that juts out into Pleasant Bay. Nickerson Neck is great to explore by bike, car or boat - it is also home to the exclusive Eastward Ho Golf Club, two small town beaches – Crows Pond and Strong Island Landing, many lovely homes, and sweeping ocean views. The house is the perfect spot for a family vacation or a getaway with friends, with easy access to all that Chatham has to offer. It also offers the perfect home base for attending or hosting a wedding or event at the nearby five-star Wequasset Resort, the neighboring Land Ho Golf Club, or the Chatham Bars Inn.
There are two large flat lawns for kids of all ages to run around, play yard games, sunbathe or just hang out, and an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand and sea. The large yard also makes a great spot for family volleyball, soccer or croquet, or for a casual BBQ or brunch.
The deck off the kitchen and sunroom is perfect for morning coffee, cocktails, dining, card-playing or shell-sorting. A retractable awning means you can choose sun or shade. You can cook for a crowd in the large, high-ceilinged kitchen (or outside on the gas grill) with room for at least 14 in the kitchen and dining rooms. If you want to try your hand at steaming lobsters, you’ll find lobster and corn pots, crackers picks & bibs.
The open, glass-filled sunroom and adjoining living room are great for catching up with each other or playing games. Cool off in the AC when it’s hot - cozy up to the gas fireplace or gas firepit on the patio when it’s not.
The large first-floor primary bedroom includes a king bed and full en suite bath with dual sinks. Each of two upstairs bedrooms sleeps up to 4, with two double/queen beds in each room. The basement is a great spot for kids of all ages, with a queen, bunk beds, a full bathroom, two couches, a smart TV and an air hockey table.
