Description
A Rare Opportunity for Residential Conversion or Continued Commercial Success in Chatham! Unlock the incredible possibilities of this versatile property, perfectly positioned on a prominent corner lot along Route 28, the primary thoroughfare leading into the upscale, vibrant heart of downtown Chatham. While the building is currently operating as a high-visibility, successful barber shop, it sits within the R20 residential zone. This provides a unique and exciting opportunity: although a 1969 variance currently restricts the property to commercial use, a buyer could petition the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) to lift that restriction and return the property to its residential roots as a charming single-family home. Whether you envision a stylish coastal pied-a-terre or wish to maintain a boutique business presence, this property offers a rare standalone footprint in one of the Cape's most desirable destinations. The 600-square-foot building is exceptionally well-maintained and features its own dedicated parking spaces in both the front and rear. The infrastructure is robust and ready for any transition, as the property is connected to town water and a sewer system rated for 550 GPD. The interior is heated by natural gas and forced hot air, with a 2020 mini-split system added to ensure efficient cooling throughout the summer months. A functional sink and laundry area are conveniently located just inside the rear door, providing a head start for a residential floor plan or continued service-based use. Under the current zoning and use restrictions, the property is permitted for "Personal and Household Services." While any change of use or expansion of the building would require formal approval from the Chatham Zoning Board of Appeals and other relevant departments, the R20 zoning makes the path toward a residential conversion a compelling prospect. This offering represents a truly unique chance to secure a piece of Chatham real estate with significant upside potential. This property is shown by appointment only; call today to discuss the possibilities and schedule your private tour.
