Property Description

Steeped in history and dripping with cottage charm, the "Maltby Gelston" house is more than just a home-it's a piece of Sherman's history! This residence has worn many hats over its 200 (or so) years: from the homestead of a prominent 19th-century family, to "Brush House", to an early 20th-century harness shop. Today, this iconic "little yellow house" is celebrated as one of the cutest properties in town. Inside, the home oozes character with a layout that favors intimacy and architectural interest. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or writer's retreat, the "stacked room" English-cottage floor plan offers charm at every level: spacious primary suite featuring a freshly remodeled bathroom, living room anchored by a large wood-burning fireplace perfect for long New England winters, dining adjacent to a separate kitchen with stainless appliances, and finished attic serving as a stylish sleeping loft for guests or a quiet sky-lit office. You will spend your summer living on the very private, spacious deck. Meticulously maintained perennial gardens that burst with color and tranquil views of the neighboring horse farm offers your rural zen moment. Take a 3 minute drive or 10 minute jog to Candlewood Lake for beach, boating and kayaking; walking distance to pickleball at Volunteer Park, plus nearby soccer fields, tennis courts & a walking track. Easy access to the Appalachian Trail, Audubon's Deer Park Farm & Pawling Train Station!
