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 used as a commercial barbershop 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-à-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.
This high-visibility commercial property is ideally situated on Route 28, a primary thoroughfare leading into the upscale, vibrant heart of downtown Chatham. Currently operating as a successful barber shop, and a hair salon before that, the 600 square foot building enjoys a prominent corner lot position with it's own dedicated parking spaces, front and rear. The property is connected to natural gas and is heated with forced hot air; a 2020 mini split was added for summer cooling. Connected to town water and sewer, rated for 550 GPD. The interior includes a convenient sink/laundry area just inside the rear door. Under current zoning and use restrictions, the property is permitted for ''Personal and Household Services''. Any change of use or expansion of the building would require formal approval from the Chatham Zoning Board of Appeals, and other relevant departments. This offering represents a rare opportunity to secure a standalone commercial presence in one of the Cape's most desirable destinations. Call for more information, shown by appointment only.
