Nestled on 5 acres along one of the most picturesque roads in Old Chatham, the property is surrounded by open meadows, historic stone walls, and a gently winding stream that, over generations, has carved its way through ancient rock formations and into the surrounding woodland. A contiguous 7-acre parcel offering distant views and a potential building site is included. Inside the cottage, the original beamed ceilings have been carefully preserved and whitewashed, creating a bright and welcoming backdrop for the main level. The wood mantel surrounding the former fireplace is believed to be original to the structure, adding a tangible connection to the home's rich past. Antique wide-plank pine floors and distinctive 9-over-6 asymmetrical windows lend authentic colonial character. Enter through the mudroom and step into the kitchen that has been tastefully reimagined for today's home chef, blending modern convenience with timeless charm. A beautifully renovated full bath featuring a soaking tub completes the first floor. On the walk-out lower level, the spacious bedroom welcomes the morning sun and offers a peaceful retreat. A private full bath with a generous shower, large vanity, ample closet space, and additional storage complete this part of the home. The upper floor provides flexible living space, ideal for a home office, reading nook, studio, guest accommodations, or additional sleeping quarters. Overlooking the gently flowing stream, the sun deck provides a perfect vantage point to listen to the songbirds nestled in the property's mature hardwoods and evergreens, which blanket the landscape with natural beauty and privacy. The Studio is a striking antique structure offering a variety of uses. Soaring wood ceilings enhance the expansive main living area, where a modern fireplace serves as a focal point and oversized windows flood the space with natural light. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed and highly efficient, offering the functionality and style. A stone tiled shower completes the first floor bathroom. The second-floor bedroom enjoys western exposure and opens onto a private deck overlooking the grounds, offering a front-row seat to spectacular sunset views. Private and serene, this remarkable property captivates on every level, offering a rare opportunity to own something truly special. Become the next steward of its rich history while shaping its future and creating a legacy of your own.
