A warm and welcoming Cape Cod home set on a beautifully landscaped lot in the heart of the Riverbay development in Chatham. The generous living room anchors the space with a gas fireplace and custom built-in shelving, while the eat-in kitchen flows naturally into a cozy den -- a layout made for easy everyday living. A first-floor bedroom, full bath, and laundry offer exceptional convenience, with two additional bedrooms sharing a full bath upstairs. The home is well-appointed mechanically: natural gas forced-air heat, central A/C on the first floor, a tankless water heater, and a ¾-home generator provide year-round comfort and peace of mind. Generous basement storage rounds out the interior. Outside, mature gardens and specimen trees frame a ¾-fenced yard complete with an Azek deck, Hunter irrigation system on private well, outdoor shower, and storage shed -- a private retreat perfectly suited to Cape Cod summers. And then there's the location.
