This c. 1800 Colonial has just the right amount of character and charm, with a classic rural setting in stunning Old Chatham. The current owners have taken impeccable care of the property so you will have plenty of time to sit back and relax in the spacious backyard, take a nap in the hammock by the stream, enjoy your summer evenings around the fire pit, and sip your morning coffee out on the sunny screened porch. The first floor, with mudroom, spacious eat in kitchen, large living room with hand hewed exposed beams, den/office, which could be a 3rd bedroom, and full bath flows beautifully. Upstairs is super sweet with two bright sunny bedrooms - the master with skylights for stargazing from bed - and a 1/2 bath. The property feels large, with ancient maple trees and rock walls on a quiet road. Current owner upgrades include new kitchen appliances, furnace, well pump, insulation, roof, and fresh paint. 5 min to Old Chatham, 15 to Chatham, 25 to the Berkshires, and 35 to Hudson.
