A Barn Conversion on 10 Acres, Tended by the Same Owners for 52 Years, in Chatham

This converted barn at the end of 76 Bowman Road is on 10 wooded and private acres just outside the village of Chatham. The current owners built the conversion and have lived here for 52 years, which shows in the gardens—established perennial beds and specimen trees that simply take that kind of time to get right.

The main living space centers on a stone fireplace with a raised hearth, wide-plank wood floors, beamed and cathedral ceilings, and an open floor plan that connects easily to the screened porch and patio outside. A second fireplace anchors the family room. The primary suite is lofted above, with its own sense of separation from the rest of the house. A guest level has its own living room, two bedrooms, a full bath, and laundry—3 bedrooms and 3 baths in total across 3,190 square feet.

Outside, a detached two-car garage has a full apartment above it, useful for guests or extended family, and a separate workshop and studio building adds space for whatever a buyer wants to make of it. The grounds include a fire pit, paved walkways, and gardens that wrap the house on most sides.

Chatham's restaurants, shops, and movie theater are about 5 minutes away, despite the seclusion of the setting.
