At the heart of this timeless hamlet sits The Chatham House, offering a poetic blend of early American architecture and modern ease. Thoughtfully evolved over centuries, the home preserves its soul while embracing the comforts of today. Inside, light spills through elegant original windows and into the sweeping central hall and formal sitting rooms on either side of the house. A library and office space provide the perfect setting for reading or working from home. A grand dining room, anchored by one of the four working fireplaces, brings warmth and intimacy, ideal for hosting dinners that stretch long into the evening. Upstairs, a charmingly unexpected second-floor living area invites quiet reading, entertaining, or cozy movie nights. Natural light drifts through tall windows, glancing off fine woodwork and arching through elliptical transoms, a recurring motif in the home’s design and a signature of the Adam brothers’ influence. A grand Palladian window rises above the front entry, flanked by graceful gabled wings that lend symmetry and softness to the façade. There are four bedrooms and two full baths on the second floor, plus a back staircase offering easy access to the bright, airy eat-in kitchen, which opens onto a gravel patio, perfect to enjoy your morning coffee and pastries from Bartlett House. A newly restored mudroom is a welcome touch for upstate living, especially after bike rides through the gorgeous landscapes of Chatham. The beauty continues outdoors with thoughtfully designed yet low-maintenance landscaping and a private 1.7-acre yard, ready for its next owner with a green thumb. Adjacent to the main home, a fully restored and insulated 2,000-square-foot barn offers electric, a new septic system ready for hookup, and a wood-burning stove for year-round use. Currently serving as a home office and gym, it could easily transform into a guest house, artist’s studio, or writer’s retreat. Just minutes from the creative hum of the village of Chatham and a short drive to Hudson, Albany, and the Berkshires, The Chatham House is perfectly situated for those craving beauty, culture, and connection. Spend a morning at Chatham Berry Farm, gather for coffee at Morningbird, or catch an indie film at Crandell Theatre, the oldest continuously operating cinema in New York. Discover the visual wonder of Art Omi, browse thoughtfully curated titles at The Chatham Bookstore, or take in contemporary works at Jack Shainman’s The School in Kinderhook. For food lovers, an array of delicious eateries are under 10 minutes away, including Old Chatham Country Store, Bimi’s Cheese Shop & Canteen, The Aviary, Isola Wine and Tapas, OkPantry, and many more. Romantic, rooted, and ready for its next chapter, The Chatham House awaits.
