Quaintiquity
Old Chatham, New York

Back when the land was built (in six days from what I hear) a rolling field was placed in such a way as to provide shelter, privacy and serene beautification. Later on, about 1830 years or so, a family came across this same field, thanked the guy the built it, and put up a home. Fast forward 180 years and that same home sits on that same beautiful field, wonderfully preserved and cared for. Although a home of modest nature, it's charms are quite clear. Start with the grounds. A barn, newly constructed in an old style serves a perfect vessel for cars, tractors, implements of gardening and whatnot. It also serves as a changing room for the pool. Over towards the house, a small building, maybe too big for a shed but too small to be called a barn, hosts get togethers or serves muse as a studio.

The main home is entered through the perfect stone tiled mudroom. Into the den, off the kitchen and eating area for a cozy cup of creamy soup by the fire. The kitchen proudly displays it's cherry cabinets, soapstone sink and counters and wonderful stanlessly steeled appliances. Down the hall, with closets, you'll find a library. Built-in shelves and plenty of light. A pair of french doors opens to the living room. Sit by the fire, converse, have a night cap, tell tall tales. Send your guests off to sleep in the first floor guest bedroom. Up stairs, theres a master suite with an intriguingly peaked ceiling. Down the hall a pair of bedrooms.

Offered at $ 695,000.
