Tucked away on 5 acres in the heart of Old Chatham, 14 Depot Lane is a one-of-a-kind private retreat shaped by stone, water and the character of an old house that has evolved over time. Set along a wooded ridgeline, the home is surrounded by rock outcroppings, mature trees and natural landscaping, with a creek and waterfall forming a natural border of the property. It all feels wonderfully secluded yet connected to the community around it. Inside, 2,600+ sq ft is filled with warmth, texture and unique architectural details. The eat-in kitchen is a standout with wood cabinetry, tiled countertops, terracotta floors, exposed beams and a wood-burning fireplace hearth. An oversized picture window frames the rock garden, bringing the natural setting in. The dining room has its own fireplace and barrel-shaped ceiling, with doors from both the kitchen and dining room opening to a large rear deck nestled among the treetops. A spacious living room with vaulted ceiling flows into an open study, while built-ins and stucco walls add character throughout. The flexible first-floor layout includes a bedroom with direct access to a full bath and sunroom. A second room can serve as a third bedroom or den, with a wood-burning fireplace, brick floor, painted terracotta tile and door to a private patio with an outdoor fireplace. Upstairs, a bedroom and full bath create a separate retreat. Recent improvements include a high-efficiency oil furnace, central air, upgraded baths, water filtration system, Andersen picture window and rear door, and custom cedar entry. The barn has electric, cobblestone floor, newer roof and storage loft, offering space for storage, a workshop or future studio. A special full-time home or Hudson Valley escape in Columbia County, close to Chatham's shops/cafes & Crandell Theatre, Art Omi, Hudson & Amtrak, with the Berkshires nearby for Tanglewood, shopping, dining, museums, theater & skiing. Less than 2.5 hours from NYC.
