Introducing Woodbine Cottage, a storybook Colonial built circa 1800, filled with old world character and timeless charm. Located in the vibrant hamlet of North Chatham, this well-preserved residence offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a thoughtful balance of period craftsmanship and modern updates. Perennial gardens and a quaint fenced yard enhance the cottage’s fairytale quality, making it feel worlds away. Inside, every detail tells a story. Wide-plank wood floors, timber beams, an original mantle, and hand-hewn iron latches speak to the home’s early heritage, complemented by thoughtful updates—a refreshed kitchen with new flooring, renovated bathrooms, modern appliances, and updated lighting—that bring ease without compromising its antique charm. The ground-floor primary suite offers comfort and convenience, and sunlit gathering spaces flow naturally for quiet moments and entertaining. Outside, the sweet dormer windows, columns, and metal roof are reminiscent of an English country cottage. Two front porches provide quiet nooks to sit and take in village life, and the fenced backyard is a true retreat. A pergola draped with grapevine and honeysuckle partially shades the brick patio, which overlooks the landscaped lawn and perennial gardens brimming with lilies, anemones, black-eyed Susan, and phlox. The detached two-car garage adds practicality, with space for parking and generous storage for garden tools, bicycles or weekend projects. Set in North Chatham’s historic district, the property is surrounded by handsome 18th- and 19th-century homes and a welcoming, conservation-minded community. The hamlet is anchored by the beloved North Chatham Public Library, which hosts cultural programs and fosters a strong sense of connection. Just 10 minutes to Chatham Village, 20 minutes to Albany, and 30 minutes to Hudson, you’ll enjoy idyllic small-town living with easy access to restaurants, farmers’ markets, cultural attractions, and all the beauty of the Hudson Valley.
