$7 million Chatham house has a private sandy beach: 'Super desirable and rare'

"Waterfront is highly desirable, and walkability to Chatham Center is highly desirable. To get those two together makes it super desirable and rare. Set on 1.5 acres, the Cape-style home, which measures 2,552 square feet, boasts seven bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, creating much more space than its quaint appearance presents."

"Built around 1840 as the Collins Howes House, the eight Collins children were born in the house's "borning" room, according to historic documents. For the last 50 years, the same family has owned the home, treating it as their summer escape. Seventy five feet of sandy beach frontage is, by far, the most coveted feature of the property."

"Pull into the drive on the side of the gray shingled home, and walk around back to the rolling lawn and enjoy the views of North Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. The primary bedroom features windows on three sides, boasting a beautiful view of the water. Two additional bedrooms also look directly out at the ocean."

150 Main St. in Chatham is a historic property originally built around 1840 as the Collins Howes House, where eight children were born in the home's designated "borning" room. The same family has owned and maintained the Cape-style residence as a summer retreat for the past 50 years. Situated on 1.5 acres, the 2,552-square-foot home contains seven bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, offering significantly more space than its modest exterior suggests. The property's most desirable features are its 75 feet of sandy beach frontage overlooking North Beach and the Atlantic Ocean, combined with its walkable proximity to Chatham Center. The home includes a rustic kitchen with beamed ceilings from a converted barn, a screened-in porch, multiple water-view bedrooms, and a dining room with fireplace.
