27 Kinderhook Street, Chatham, NY 12037

The Wheeler House, a Chatham village landmark with Kline Kill water frontage sits on a quiet village side street. Dr. John Wheeler was a prominent physician instrumental in founding the Chatham Library. Only three other families have lived here. Built in 1820, with an elegant extension added in the 1840's and capped off with a high Victorian library (early 1870's). Even though a village house, this gracious home is clearly designed for comfort and privacy. Set back from the street, with spacious rooms, high ceilings and tall windows, it represents the best of what Greek Revival (and much later, Edwardian homes) offered in the way of light, air and space. The beauty of the rooms, the flow of the layout, and the eye for detail and comfort makes this a home where living isn't relegated only to the living room. The unusual position of the rental apartments, created from the extension added in the 1840's, are well placed that one barely feels that there are tenants. This graceful property, with its wooded back acreage along the lovely Kline Kill (great fishing) offers the feeling of being deep in the country, when in reality you are a two-minute walk to Main Street with its restaurants, taverns and award winning Crandall theater - home of the Columbia Film Festival.Local airports easily available, proximity to Boston, Tanglewood, and New York City. The Taconic Parkway, makes the 2-hour trip to NYC a comfortable, scenic journey, and the train from Hudson to NYC is a breeze.
