Property Description
Inside, warm wood, soaring ceilings and windows of nearly every proportion give the house its unmistakable character. Passive solar fills the rooms with shifting light throughout the day, while a substantial stone fireplace and Jøtul wood stove make a persuasive case for staying in when the temperature drops. Custom bookshelves stretch across one wall, and a spiral staircase winds through the center of the open living space.
The kitchen connects naturally to the living and dining areas, with a custom mudroom that brings order to muddy boots, winter coats and everything else that comes with life in the woods. Upstairs are two bedrooms: a private primary with mountain views and an airy open loft overlooking the living room below. The full bath may have the best view in the house, with a clawfoot tub beneath a picture window, alongside a curbless shower and a custom vanity crafted from locally sourced Hudson Valley oak.
The landscape is every bit as compelling. An expanded deck is ready for long dinners, while the hot tub occupies its own patio among the rocks. A small pond adds another quiet moment to the property, and a fire pit is ready for evenings outside. There's a fenced garden waiting for next season's plans, and both the barn and separate workshop offer space to build, restore, paint, potter—or finally start the project that needs more room than a kitchen table. The property also shares a boundary with state land, lending another layer of privacy to an already tucked away setting.
For all its privacy, the house is surprisingly connected. The Taconic is five minutes away; Cold Spring and the Hudson River are about 15 minutes; and Beacon's galleries, restaurants and shops are an easy outing. Fahnestock State Park, the Hudson Highlands and the Stormville Flea Market offer plenty of reasons to leave home—though the woods, deck and hot tub may prove equally convincing reasons not to. The George Washington Bridge is less than 75 minutes away.
Warm, distinctive and quietly inspiring, this is a house that invites you to live differently: closer to the landscape, with more room to think and fewer reasons to rush.
