An intimate estate located on a small, quiet, country lane just outside the picturesque hamlet of Old Chatham -- an area noted for its important early homes and estates.   Towering century-old trees frame this prestigious center-hall Federal.  Tastefully, and lovingly restored by the present owner, the main house boasts nine spacious rooms, including a warm, cozy living room with a fireplace, an elegant dining room, a truly impressive chef's kitchen with fireplace, and a space where family and friends may gather while the chef is at work.  French doors lead to a spacious screened porch overlooking truly magnificent perennial gardens, complete with specimen trees, shrubs, a waterfall, and an extensive drip irrigation system.  The centrally air-conditioned main house also contains a master bedroom en-suite with a fireplace, two spacious and comfortable guest rooms, plus a lower level suite with bedroom, bath, kitchenette, and playroom, or media room.  Early architectural details include burnished wide-plank floors, deep moldings, and original mantels.   There is a charming two-bedroom guest house, formerly a schoolhouse, that has been restored to perfection.   The original blacksmith's shop has been restored to its former glory, and is presently used as a potting shed.   There is a two car garage/barn, and a six stall horse barn.   Enjoy the beauty of nature as you swim, or just relax in the fifty-foot, heated, Fiberglas swimming pool.
