Nestled in a prime central location within the historic Chautauqua Institution, this beautifully renovated cottage blends timeless charm with modern luxury. Designed by renowned Chautauqua architect, Bill Laubscher and masterfully executed by Chris Keefe Builders in 2017/18, no detail was spared during this thoughtful renovation. The re-construction included installing new cedar siding of the same design as the original, adding natural cedar shingles in all of the gables and extending the decorative moldings that frame the gables. The work also included building a new front porch, replacing all of the windows and doors as well as installing all new electrical, plumbing and mechanical equipment. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch, enjoying evening concerts nearby, or strolling the tree-lined streets of the grounds, this home is a rare find in a truly unique setting. The Vincent brick walk is strictly a pedestrian thoroughfare making it a private and peaceful location. Admired by passersby, the home was featured on the 2020 BT&G house tour and was awarded the CPOA Architectural Award for Rehabilitation in 2023.
Completely redesigned with great attention to detail, the cottage features an open-concept living space, new kitchen with high-end finishes, and inviting indoor-outdoor flow perfect for entertaining. Offering three private primary suites, each with its own en-suite bath, this home provides rare comfort and privacy—ideal for family & guests. Every space in the home is beautifully finished and is highlighted by high-quality, tasteful furnishings. Being offered turn-key, this home is perfectly positioned for your CHQ future. Enjoy serene mornings here on the porch and peaceful evenings just steps from the Amphitheater, Bestor Plaza, and the lakefront.
Whether you're seeking a year-round retreat, or summer escape, this turn-key property offers a unique chance to own a fully modernized home in one of Chautauqua's most sought-after locations.
