Recently renovated and thoughtfully updated, the streamside cottage and separate guest studio were once part of the historic Wigton Lester Farm, with origins dating back to the early 1800s. Nestled on 5 acres along one of the most picturesque roads in Old Chatham, the property is surrounded by open meadows, historic stone walls, and a gently winding stream that, over generations, has carved its way through ancient rock formations and into the surrounding woodland. Inside the cottage, the original beamed ceilings have been carefully preserved and whitewashed, creating a bright and welcoming backdrop for the main level. The wood mantel surrounding the former fireplace is believed to be original to the structure, adding a tangible connection to the home's rich past. Antique wide-plank pine floors and distinctive 9-over-6 asymmetrical windows lend authentic colonial character. Enter through the mudroom and step into the kitchen that has been tastefully reimagined for today's home chef, blending modern convenience with timeless charm. A beautifully renovated full bath featuring a soaking tub completes the first floor. On the walk-out lower level, the spacious bedroom welcomes the morning sun and offers a peaceful retreat. A private full bath with a generous shower, large vanity, ample closet space, and additional storage complete this part of the home. The upper floor provides flexible living space, ideal for a home office, reading nook, studio, guest accommodations, or additional sleeping quarters. Overlooking the gently flowing stream, the sun deck provides a perfect vantage point to listen to the songbirds nestled in the property's mature hardwoods and evergreens, which blanket the landscape with natural beauty and privacy. The Studio is a striking antique structure offering a variety of uses. Soaring wood ceilings enhance the expansive main living area, where a modern fireplace serves as a focal point and oversized windows flood the space with natural light. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed and highly efficient, offering the functionality and style. A stone tiled shower completes the first floor bathroom. The second-floor bedroom enjoys western exposure and opens onto a private deck overlooking the grounds, offering a front-row seat to spectacular sunset views. Private and serene, this remarkable property captivates on every level, offering a rare opportunity to own something truly special. Become the next steward of its rich history while shaping its future and creating a legacy of your own.
