CHATHAM, MA – The former home of award-winning actress and Broadway legend Julie Harris has been placed on the market for $1,950,000. Located at 132 Barn Hill Road in Chatham, CT, Marsh View Estate is being listed by Chris Rhinesmith of Pine Acres Realty, with international marketing services provided by Christie’s International Real Estate.

Exemplifying Cape Cod charm, the estate on nearly two acres offers tranquil marsh views, surrounded by rolling lawns and lush foliage. A simple, well-manicured driveway—accented by vibrant greenery— leads to the two-story, five-bedroom and four-bath home.

The property has been carefully restored to retain its timeless beauty while offering modern amenities. The original main home boasts rustic floors, stately beamed ceilings and multiple fireplaces, and spacious rooms, a quaint, vintage-styled kitchen and consistent brick and wood accents throughout pay homage to the property’s historic roots. The 3,426-square-foot estate also presents a cathedral-ceiling family room, a master suite—complete with a wood fireplace, cedar closet, full bath, small study, and sitting area—and a breezeway that envelopes an interior, brick-laid patio.

Outside grounds harmonize with natural surroundings, featuring winding brick walkways through heirloom gardens, a wisteria grove and an enchanting garden shed. Marsh View Estate additionally has an art studio and a detached, one-car garage.

“With unparalleled views and a close proximity to the beach, this timeless property presents an opportunity to experience the charm of Chatham while enjoying the area’s coveted exclusivity,” said listing agent Chris Rhinesmith with Pine Acres Realty, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate. “Marked by extraordinary details from its original design, Marsh View offers a piece of both Chatham history and an entertainment legacy.”

Julie Harris is noted as one of the most decorated performers in Broadway history, having been nominated for 10 Tony awards throughout her career, five of which she won. The actress also played significant roles in various films and television shows. Her credits include the 1955 motion picture, “East of Eden.” Harris died in August of 2013.
