Listing broker remarks

Landmark Chatham Georgian estate set on 1.3 acres overlooking Oyster Pond, with downtown and beach just moments away. Known as ''Beechwood'', this iconic residence was built in 1948 for Henry Howes, a descendant of one of Chatham's earliest families and showcases exceptional craftsmanship throughout. The stately brick main structure is flanked by two projecting wings. The home offers over 7,500 sq ft with 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Inside, enjoy hand-painted murals, sweeping water views, curved staircases, intricate woodwork, and beautifully scaled living spaces filled with character. The lower level features a ''speakeasy'', ballroom, workshop, and storage. Outside, expansive terraces, mature gardens, bluestone walkways, towering trees, and rolling lawns create a spectacular setting leading toward the water. The property was divided into three townhouse residences, but has since been used as a single-family home. A rare chance to own one of Chatham's most iconic legacy properties.— Compass
