Set on eight acres, between the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires, this idyllic, light-filled house offers ample opportunity for living, work, and entertaining. With three bedrooms, four full baths, and a recent addition, the property has stunning views of the surrounding hills, a large deck, a two-car garage, a creative studio, and a picturesque pond. Enter through a breezeway with floor-to-ceiling windows and a tiled floor. The foyer leads into the living room, with a wood burning fireplace, and a large dining area. The kitchen and the adjacent great room make it easy to host gatherings. Wide-board floors are throughout the house. French doors open from the great room to the large deck outside, overlooking the pond. The first floor bedroom, which is currently used as an office, has an ensuite full bath. Upstairs, comfort and convenience are a priority for both the primary bedroom and the guest bedroom, which have ensuite bathrooms and large walk-in closets. The primary bedroom looks out over the Berkshire hills, including views of Jiminy Peak. The recent two-story, 1,433 square-foot addition conveniently connects via the breezeway to the main section of the house. The first floor of the addition has a very large, flex room, which can be additional living or work space or as a place for entertaining. It opens to a separate area that is currently being used as an exercise room. Upstairs is a spectacular studio space with vaulted ceilings, walls of windows, and features a full bath that includes a Japanese style soaking tub. It has been used as an artist's studio, but could easily be repurposed for meditation, yoga, music--the possibilities are endless. Outside, you can relax on the deck, looking out at the pond, enjoying the hot tub or walking the trails on the property; a small bridge leads you to a gazebo. Just minutes away is the farm market store and The Blueberry Café for delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner. Chatham Village has restaurants, The Crandell movie theater, bookstore, along with many other shops. A short drive into The Berkshires for music and theater or head the other direction to Hudson for the vibrant scene on Warren Street and access to Amtrak. Only a two-and-a-half-hour car ride to NYC. This peaceful, scenic and spacious house offers so much for the next owner.
