Welcome to Marshlight Retreat, a breathtaking, sun-drenched vacation home set on two private acres in North Chatham with expansive marsh views stretching west toward Frost Fish Creek. Defined by striking architecture and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, this one-of-a-kind home offers a rare sense of privacy and space, both inside and out. Surrounded by nature and designed to bring the outdoors in, Marshlight Retreat feels peaceful and secluded, yet remains just minutes from Chatham’s renowned beaches, dining, and shopping. If you’re seeking a private oasis in a coveted neighborhood without sacrificing convenient location, this is the place for you.
Inside, the home marries modern comfort with timeless, classic character. A thoughtful blend of high-end fixtures, curated antiques, and warm wood accents gives the space a distinctive, layered feel. Sunlight pours into the open-concept living and dining areas throughout the day, creating a bright, welcoming atmosphere beneath soaring cathedral ceilings—perfect for gathering and unwinding. The kitchen is well equipped for everything from casual beach-day meals to memorable multi-course dinners, featuring a six-burner gas range, double ovens, and a stainless steel refrigerator that will impress even the most discerning home chef. Flexible sleeping and gathering spaces span multiple levels, offering comfort and breathing room for families and friends. Bedrooms are spacious and filled with natural light, and a first-floor full bath with a tub and shower combination is ideal for post-beach rinses. One of the home’s most unique features is the sleeping loft—a playful, tucked-away retreat accessed by ladder that’s especially loved by kids seeking their own special hideaway.<br />

Outdoor living is equally inviting. Decks overlook the marsh, while a covered porch provides a serene spot for morning coffee or evening cocktails. A private hot tub is tucked into the landscape, perfect for soaking under the stars after a day of adventure. Additional outdoor amenities include a grill, patio, fire pit, and outdoor shower, creating effortless flow between indoor comfort and outdoor relaxation. For those eager to explore the surrounding waterways, the home also includes a stand-up paddleboard and two kayaks. Despite its tranquil setting, Marshlight Retreat offers easy access to some of Chatham’s most beloved attractions. Just around the corner, explore local history at the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy and the Marconi Wireless Museum. Boaters will appreciate being less than a mile from Ryder’s Cove, where you can launch your boat and explore Pleasant Bay, Crows Pond, or the open Atlantic, or catch a seal tour departing from the harbor. Downtown Chatham is under five minutes away and known for its walkable charm, with endless boutiques, galleries, restaurants, and a beautiful public library. When it’s time for the beach, spend the day at postcard-perfect Lighthouse Beach, or explore nearby favorites like Jackknife Cove, Scatteree, Oyster Pond, and Nantucket Sound beaches including Ridgvale Beach, Harding’s Beach, and Cockle Cove.
