Minutes to Lighthouse Beach & Town! - Views - Central A/C
Chatham Vacation Rental - ID 32741

Welcome to Anchor! Located on Silver Leaf, one of the prettiest streets in the historic Old Village. A couple of minutes walk from Chatham Light and Lighthouse beach and an 8-10 minute walk to Main Street for strolling, shopping or dining. This 2900 square foot updated custom gambrel cape sleeps 8 in four bedrooms plus two in the bonus gallery room. The house features two zone central air conditioning and heat, three second floor decks, some with water views, and a large yard for the kids. It's the perfect vacation home for extended families, two families, or a reunion getaway. Set back from the street and sited on three quarters of an acre above the Black Pond conservation area, Anchor is a gem.

SOME OF OUR GUESTS HAVE BEEN MAKING MEMORIES HERE FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND LOVE THIS HOME!

Your vacation begins as you enter from the driveway into an open family room overlooking the private yard. Casual seating plan features a large smart TV, a comfy upholstered couch and two chairs and café table with four chairs. Head out through the sliding glass doors to watch the kids running around in the “bowl” shared with our adjoining property. By the driveway entrance there is an enclosed outdoor shower for a quick rinse.

Step up to the fully appointed kitchen with under counter beverage fridge and granite counter tops. Family and friends love to sit around the island during meal prep. We highly recommend making homemade lobster rolls served from the island—super easy and always a big hit.

Ahead are a full bath and two bright classic Cape Cod twin bedrooms that sleep four. To the right is the door to the unfinished basement with a ping pong table and washer/dryer. Across from the kitchen is the fire placed dining room. The table is antique pine designed by a local craftsman that seats 8- 10. Beyond the open balusters is an elegant light filled sunken living room with mid-century bamboo furniture. This engaging room is a tranquil place to unwind and spend some time with a book or have a quiet conversation.

Head up the stairs to the second floor that has a dedicated central a/c and heat zone. To the right is the cheerful front to back Lighthouse bedroom with a queen bed, a day bed, and a slider to a private deck overlooking Silver Leaf with views of the Chatham Light and Lighthouse beach. You can’t help but smile when you enter this room!

To the left is the gallery featuring works by local artists and a TV with Roku stick, a Bluetooth speaker, and a round table and chairs great for games, puzzles or cards. There are also two twin daybeds. Through the slider is our largest deck with a view to the left of Chatham Light and Lighthouse beach. If you have a lot of folks and happen to have a spot of bad weather, it’s a relief to have this versatile room upstairs to spread out in.

Across from the gallery is a full bath that is shared by the Lighthouse bedroom and the gallery.

Beyond the gallery you enter the privacy of the front to back master suite. Shut the door and unwind in your own calming, private oasis. There is an en suite bath on the right with granite counters, shower and your own Keurig. A king bed, a TV with Roku stick and a private deck overlooking Black Pond make this the perfect spot to start and end your busy days in Chatham. You deserve it!

The house is awesome but you came to experience Chatham. Once you head outside you have two amazing choices:

Off To The Beach!
Take a right on Silver Leaf and bear right across Bridge St. to a public path that runs along the Chatham Beach and Tennis Club—about 2 minutes. It’s a bit quicker and less hectic way to get to the beach, and there are no stairs. You also can take a left at the end of Sliver Leaf and head over to the stairs across from Chatham Light.

Off to Town!
Take a left on Silver Leaf, a left on Water and a quick right on School and it’s about 4/10 of a mile to the east end of Main St.- about an 8–10 minute walk at a normal pace. More likely you’ll take your time while talking to your companions and enjoying a beautiful stroll through the Old Village.
