- Description: 8 Essex Place presents a rare opportunity to create your dream home in the Campgrounds, one of Harwich Port's most coveted locations. This property is a blank canvas for a total renovation or a fresh rebuild. While the buyer will be responsible for the new septic system, the heavy lifting of the design is complete, with engineering plans provided. The property offers a solid start with a newer foundation and basement, along with a newer heating system and hot water heater. The true value lies in the unbeatable location, situated halfway between the sandy shores of Atlantic Avenue Beach and the vibrant shops and galleries of downtown Harwich Port. For those with grander ambitions, the neighboring property at 10 Essex Place is also available for purchase from a separate owner. An enterprising buyer could acquire both, merging the lots to create a sprawling signature estate in a premier neighborhood. You may choose to restore the existing shell or reimagine the site entirely.
