A quintessential country retreat, the circa 1825 Thomas House with its 11+ acres, is perched atop a hill in Chatham with lovely views of rolling hills, sundrenched meadows, a verdant forest, and a pond.  At 4,100 square feet, the recently refreshed center hall Colonial is well laid out with 6 bedrooms, 4 baths and an in-law suite.  Original details include wide plank floors, five fireplaces, and 12-over-12 federal windows.  Most rooms have double exposures and great light. 

The center hall entrance leads to a sunny formal living room, a generous dining room and a glorious family room and eat-in kitchen combo overlooking the pool from three exposures.  Upstairs are four bedrooms and two large bathrooms which flank the center hall.  The gracious corner primary bedroom is ensuite with a spacious bath.  Additionally, there is a one bedroom, one bath in-law suite with a sitting room, kitchen and den.  You will enjoy entertaining outdoors from the screened-in porch, lying by the pool while getting a drink from the pool house, playing a few sets of tennis on your private court, or simply basking in nature and watching the clouds roll by.

The Thomas House is 4 minutes from Chatham Village, 20 from Hudson and less than 2.5 hours to midtown Manhattan.  If you are looking for that classic idyllic retreat in the Hudson Valley, this may be the home for you.
