Welcome to the good life in Chatham’s desirable Tallmadge neighborhood. This custom Colonial near the end of a tree-lined cul-de-sac has a lot to offer its next owner including four bedrooms, two full baths and a powder room, a spectacular great room and a semi-open floor plan that works perfectly for entertaining.

Local architect Brian Siegel brought the owner’s vision to life in 2007 with a major expansion and renovation, transforming a modest house into a magnificent home. The first floor features formal living and dining rooms as well as a spacious great room, all tied together by lustrous oak floors and windows that allow the natural light to stream in.

The kitchen is a cook’s delight featuring a collection of Jenn-Air stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, oven/range/grill/hood), a Marvel wine refrigerator, granite countertops, recessed lighting, a roomy center island with a breakfast bar, extra-deep sink and microwave. The family room is warmed by a gas fireplace and provides plenty of room for guests to mingle. French sliding doors in the great room and dining room open to an easy-care TimberTech composite deck, adding even more living and entertainment space during much of the year.

A few steps lead up to the second floor, with two bedrooms and a tiled bath. The third level offers a generous bedroom, convenient storage room, attic access and an elegant master en suite. Bright and airy, this master retreat overlooks the expansive rear yard and is designed with vaulted ceilings and two large custom closets. A tiled master bath presents dual sinks, a two-person shower stall and a skylight.

Additional amenities include two zones of heat and central air conditioning, an integrated security/fire alarm system, in-ground sprinklers, an oversized garage, water softener, thermal windows and a substantially-sized level and private property. Downtown Chatham Borough and New York-bound trains are minutes away, as are Chatham's top-rated schools.
