Contemporary Architectural Masterpiece in Old Chatham, NY (Columbia County)
$1,295,000
At the end of a long, tree-lined drive and in a completely private setting, this architect-designed contemporary gem offers some of Columbia County’s finest indoor and outdoor living areas. This extraordinary home has a sunken living room with large stone fireplace and two walls of windows with views of sweeping lawns, paddocks, woods, and a large and healthy spring-fed pond. The dining room, gourmet kitchen, master suite and one other bedroom also have pond views – the master bedroom through a cathedral window. Craftsmanship and fine finishes abound, with slate and hardwood floors, cedar ceilings, cherry doors and birdseye maple woodwork. The home has 5 bedrooms in all, each with ensuite bath. There is also a family room/study with another fireplace and a wetbar, and a stunning 25x60 foot entertainment room converted from what was once a heated indoor pool (the conversion was done to allow easy reconversion back to the pool, if a buyer desired). Outside are terraces, two fenced paddocks, a two-stall stable with tack room, and an additional small barn/garage. The beautiful 8+ acres back onto Old Chatham Hunt Country trails.
