42 White Mills Road, Chatham, NY 12037

Modest and unassuming from the front but bright and expansive in the rear, this old mill home dating back to 1878 offers a surprising amount of space across 1800 square feet. Like many old mill homes in the area, this one has been expanded several times over the past 150 years and is now a bright, light filled home with 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, hardwood floors, open kitchen, 1st floor den/office, and 2nd floor flex room.

Although there is currently only 1 large bathroom, there is space to add a 2nd bath on the 2nd floor. This home has been meticulously cared for by the same family since 1974 and is ready for its next chapter. You'll enter thru the 3 season porch off the driveway and come into a large tiled foyer/mudroom before stepping down into the open kitchen, dining and living area.

An entire corner of windows and skylights fill this space with light. Step out onto the large party deck right off the kitchen and dining room and enjoy the expanded living space in the summer months for dinner parties, BBQs, and stargazing at night. The back yard is private, spacious, mostly level, and gets lots of sun.

Plenty of space for a garden and/or a pool. Across the yard, you'll see the large 2 bay garage and 2 story converted barn sitting at the rear of the 1 acre property. This building is insulated, has propane heat and power and was previously used as a workshop but could easily be finished for an office or art studio or even additional living space.

An antique outhouse sits behind it. The rear of the property abuts the rail line, but don't let that deter you. There are no crossing nearby, so horns are rare and the trains have to move pretty slowly as they approach the bridge over Pond Hill Rd. Only 1.5 miles to Main Street Chatham with its charming shops, restaurants, Crandell Theatre, the fut

ure Shaker Museum and only a 3 minute drive to The Chatham Berry Farm and Greenhouse Cidery in the other direction. 27 minutes to Hudson Amtrak station and 30 minutes to Albany.
