Residential Potential in Chatham'sR20 Zone!This unique property offers a rare chance to create a standalone single-family home just moments from downtown Chatham. Note that the building is currently a commercial barber shop under a 1969 variance; however, it is situated in the R20 residential zone. This provides a clear path for conversion: by petitioning the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) to lift the variance, a new owner could return the property to its residential roots.The 600 sq. ft. building sits on a prominent corner lot on Route 28 with dedicated front and rear parking. It is equipped with town water and sewer (550 GPD), natural gas heat, and a 2020 mini-split for cooling. The interior features a sink and laundry area, offering a head start on a residential layout. While any change of use from "Personal and Household Services" requires formal ZBA approval, the R20 zoning makes this a high-potential project. Shown by appointment only.
