About this home

Old world elegance of a bygone era. The second owners of the historical Chatman Estate are ready to pass the torch. This adored home is situated perfectly, with only a 2 minute walk to Phillips Beach, just in time for the warmer months. The circular driveway sets the stage & greets you to the screened-in porch of this warm & beloved "cottage". As you enter the marble room, the hand-painted French wall covering makes you aware that you are about to enter a TRUE TREASURE. The worldly details & custom finishes are abundant throughout. Enjoy dining by the fire, and retreat to the generous living room with spectacular original woodwork for an after dinner drink in front of a roaring blaze. Front & back stairways lead to 6 generous bedrooms. The main ensuite boasts another lovely fireplace, as does one other bedroom. The third floor offers 2 more bedrooms. Escape & luxuriate in the Finnish steam room. There's a separate driveway to the carriage house with a studio above. See the two videos!
