The SandBox, an icon of Shore Road, sits on one of the most coveted streets in America, steps from the Chatham Bars Inn - where waterfront estates are generational and cherished. Set on an over one-acre lot with immense private beachfront, the home reflects the architectural heritage of the setting, with classic cedar shake and shingle detailing throughout. A staircase framed by flowering landscaping leads to a bluestone patio and entertaining spaces over the beach, with a private trail to the water's edge -- one of the first points on the Eastern Seaboard to greet the sunrise each morning. Inside, a shiplap-clad great room opens the home for gathering, flowing into dining and kitchen areas with water views from every angle. The primary suite is a retreat framed by its own bay window, while well-appointed guest spaces offer comfort for family and friends. Extensively renovated, the home retains the craftsmanship of its original build - true, enduring Cape Cod character. This is where summers are made. Shore Road beachfront grows more coveted with time, and opportunities like this rarely surface - a chance to secure one of the most aspirational addresses on the entire East Coast.
