Property Description
The Stone Cottage began its long history as a schoolhouse built as the Civil War was nearing its conclusion in 1864. Scottish craftsmen from the Aberdeen region constructed the sturdy structure using a technique referred to as 'snecked ashlar' with hewn ashlar stones laid in horizontal and vertical courses with spaces filled with smaller 'snecks joined with mortar. The random patchwork yields a strong and handsome bond that endures the harsh climates of Scotland and Vermont. Comprehensively renovated 25 years ago the home centers around great room featuring a substantial stone fireplace with vaulted wood paneled ceiling and a wall of windows overlooking the Williams River below. The gracious country kitchen is accented with custom cherry cabinets, built-in dish hutch, granite topped island and expansive bay windows next to the kitchen table and a sliding glass doors opening out to a wide stone paved patio. The light and airy primary bedroom and ensuite bath is located on the second floor, and the private guest quarter bedroom is sited on the lower level with walk-out access to a sitting area above the scenic waterfront. The detached 3 level gambrel barn-garage offers potential for a variety of uses including a workshop and additional residential accommodation. Chester's famous 'Stone Village' is nearby and the Okemo Ski is a 20 minute drive away.
