Why the Owner Chose Chatham
Our roots are here. Ed's ancestors include fishermen, a sea captain or two, carpenters, talented musicians,a stage coach driver, a member of the life saving service (Surfmen) and even an indian or two. We didn't buy a vacation home; we built a family residence for us and an apartment for a parent. Now we are retiring and downsizing. We rent the property seasonaly only and live nearby.
The Unique Benefits at this House with Apartment
This neighborhood is beautiful, old, peaceful and rural with many large trees and big house lots. It is not a subdivision; the houses are each unique and the architecturall styles vary. There are lots of places to walk. We can easily walk to 3 town landings/small beaches. It is only 1.3 miles from downtown Chatham and only slightly longer to Chatham Light Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, we are sure. There is a very private back yard (can't see nieghbors) with south facing deck (a great place for morning coffee and planning your day). Ed is a builder and property is beautifully maintained. The main house has hardwood floors and oriental rugs. It is very light and bright, especially kitchen and upstairss with their cathedral ceilings.
Owner's Map of Chatham
We are Ed & Pat Eldridge. Pat is a newly retired assistant clerk of courts and Ed is a semi-retired builder. Our home was custom built in 1985/6 by a great local builder (Earle Kendrick), with help from Ed, then redone in 2005-6. In 1985, Ed built the 2 fireplaces brick by brick, sometimes until 4 AM while still working a full time job. We lived there 20 years.
