This charming beach cottage is set in the village of South Chatham and just steps from Forest Street Beach on Nantucket Sound. This property would provide a great get-away or a nice rental investment given the easy walk to the beach and close proximity to the water and conservation area. Sitting on a nicely positioned corner lot, this 3 bedroom home enjoys views of Nantucket Sound from the second floor. An open floor plan that combines the kitchen, dining and living room highlights the bright pleasant interior where family and friends can easily gather. Two bedrooms, a full bath, and laundry area complete the first floor. The third bedroom is accessed by a spiral staircase bringing you to a spacious suite on the second floor that has a private deck and views of the water. Additionally there is an outside shower, storage shed for beach gear and bikes, a stone patio, and a quaint front porch to enjoy morning coffee. Public tennis court just down the street.
