In Old Chatham, a schoolhouse built in 1890 has been converted into a residence with all the modern conveniences. Set in an enchanting setting, the five-bedroom, three-and-one-half bathroom conversion has a beamed-ceiling great room, kitchen with soapstone and maple touches, and a family room nook. A cupola loft provides room for both a media room and exercise space and a large screened porch overlooks the garden, terrace, and in-ground pool. The original schoolhouse bell still graces the front entry of the home. Listed for $595,000 by Houlihan Lawrence.
