Perched on the waterfront in Chatham's coveted Stage Island neighborhood, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 4-bath coastal retreat offers 270-degree panoramic views of Stage Harbor, Nantucket Sound, and surrounding tidal marshes. Built to stringent post-Katrina standards and completed in 2011, the home showcases superior construction, reinforced structural tie-downs, and impact-rated windows. Designed to maximize its breathtaking setting, the light-filled open floor plan features walls of glass and stunning water views from nearly every room. The main level includes a spacious living room with fireplace, dining area, updated kitchen, two bedrooms, and a shared bath. Upstairs, two private en-suite bedrooms enjoy elevated harbor vistas. The walkout lower level offers a family room and fitness space overlooking the water. A 2025 kitchen renovation, 2019 revetment, direct water access for kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, clamming, and swimming, make this an exceptional opportunity.
Lower Cape, located between Harwich Port and Chatham, is a coastal and village-centered Harwich neighborhood with salt-marsh inlets and bike-trail access. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 28 corridor near Harwich Port’s Main Street, where galleries, independent shops, and sidewalk cafés set a relaxed, walkable rhythm. Architecture leans toward classic Cape cottages, shingled beach houses, and low-slung ranches tucked behind pitch pines. Red River Beach and Bank Street Beach frame daily life with wide sand and calm water views. The Cape Cod Rail Trail threads nearby for car-free rides toward Nickerson State Park. Community touchstones include the Cape Cod Lavender Farm, the Cape Cod Baseball League’s Harwich Mariners at Whitehouse Field, and the Cape Cod Theatre Company/Harwich Junior Theatre.
