Single Family Residence in Chatham, MA

Prime Chatham Residential Potential with R20 Zoning! This unique property offers a rare opportunity to create a standalone single-family home just moments from the vibrant heart of downtown Chatham. Prospective buyers should note that the building is currently utilized as a commercial barber shop under a 1969 variance; however, it is situated in the R20 residential zone. This provides a compelling path for conversion: by petitioning the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) to lift the existing variance, a new owner could return the property to its residential roots as a charming coastal cottage or private pied-a-terre. The 600-square-foot building sits on a prominent corner lot on Route 28 with dedicated front and rear parking. It is fully equipped with town water and sewer (rated for 550 GPD), natural gas heat, and a 2020 mini-split for cooling. The interior already features a sink and laundry area, offering a head start on a residential floor plan. While any change of use from ''Personal and Household Services'' requires formal ZBA approval, the R20 zoning makes this a high-potential project for a custom home. Shown by appointment only.
