Property Description
Step back in time and own a piece of Old Chatham history with the distinguished Samuel Wilbor House. Built circa 1770 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this exceptional estate offers a unique opportunity to live amidst authentic historic character. Once home to New York State Senator Samuel Wilbor, this is one of Columbia County's few remaining brick Georgians, and is a stunning example of early American architecture lovingly adapted for modern life. Set on picturesque grounds in the quaint hamlet of Old Chatham, the estate includes a beautifully updated main house, three stylishly renovated apartments, and a chic converted barn. Inside, generously proportioned rooms provide comfortable living with a total of 9 bedrooms and 10 updated bathrooms across the property. The main house features rich original white pine woodwork, hand-carved moldings, exposed beams, four fireplaces, and a striking original Palladian window. An expansive kitchen with breathtaking floor-to-ceiling windows, creates a light-filled culinary haven that blends contemporary functionality and beauty with the home's traditional character. Each of the three attached apartments features its own private entrance, offering flexibility for continued rental income, live-work arrangements, or in-law accommodations. The stunning barn conversion currently serves as a yoga studio and event space, offering endless possibilities for personal use or income generation. A two-car garage with a workshop is ideal for creative projects or extra storage, and surrounding bluestone patios lead to a heated saltwater pool and outdoor entertaining area. This is an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of Old Chatham history reimagined for modern living. Whether you seek a grand estate for family and friends, a unique investment property with multiple income streams, or a harmonious blend of residential and recreational spaces, the Samuel Wilbor House is an exceptional offering in a coveted location.
