Timeless country elegance best describes this charming custom-built Cape, set on 2.6 acres along the Green Brook in the Town of Chatham, just outside the hamlet of Malden Bridge. Built with craftsmanship and rich character, the home blends tradition with modern comfort, featuring solid wood doors, cherry hardwood floors, custom kitchen and lighting, tiled baths, and a welcoming living room with a fireplace.

The residence offers multiple bedroom suites - 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, including a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and ensuite, a guest bedroom with ensuite, and a flexible third bedroom. A large recreation room and studio above the two-car garage provide space for a home office, yoga, or creative pursuits, while the oversized, dry basement offers abundant storage or room for a gym, game room, or home theater. The kitchen is well appointed with stainless steel appliances, including a brand-new refrigerator, and the home is supported by a top-of-the-line Buderus furnace.

Outdoors, mature shade trees and evergreens frame a private yard with a hammock and a trail leading to the creek, creating an ideal setting for quiet reflection or entertaining. Splendid landscaping enhances the natural beauty of the property, while the wooded setting offers both privacy and tranquility.

Perfectly situated, the home is minutes from the historic hamlets of Old Chatham and Malden Bridge, with easy access to Hudson, Chatham, Pittsfield, Great Barrington, and the Berkshires. Albany International Airport, the Taconic Parkway, and I-87 provide direct routes to New York City and Boston, each just over two hours away. Year-round recreation abounds, from swimming and summer gatherings to brilliant fall foliage and winter skiing at nearby Catamount, Butternut, and Jiminy Peak. Cultural destinations such as Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow, and Art Omi are also close at hand.

This is a rare opportunity for gracious country living, whether as a full-time residence or a weekend retreat.
