About this home
Sparkling harbor views, afternoons by the pool, and expansive, private grounds on coveted Shore Road. Offered for the first time since 1987, "Offshore" encompasses more than an acre - a rare opportunity to enjoy a remarkably private estate-like setting in the heart of Chatham. Beyond the house, a surprising expanse of lawn and gardens unfolds, its scale and privacy revealed only when you explore the grounds. Inside, gracious, generously proportioned rooms and timeless Cape Cod character create an inviting setting for entertaining, gathering with friends, or savoring a quiet afternoon. Views of Chatham Harbor, North Beach, and the Atlantic provide a lovely backdrop from the main living areas, while upstairs windows frame picture-perfect coastal scenes. A spacious first-floor primary suite offers comfort and ease. A carriage-style garage completes the property, just moments from Chatham Bars Inn, the Fish Pier, Lighthouse Beach, and Main Street. Whether enjoyed as it is today or thoughtfully reimagined, this special property invites its next owner to create a lasting legacy along one of Chatham's most iconic streets.
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.
