Step through the door and feel it: the quiet confidence of a home built by hand, with careful attention to detail and a unique perspective. Light pours through a solarium dining room built entirely of glass. A stone fireplace commands the living room. The retro-inspired kitchen rewards a second look, with an expansive bar that wraps two sides of the counter and seats a crowd. Custom millwork, the work of a master carpenter, moves through every room, including bed frames, cabinetry, closets, and window trim. Each piece considered, each detail intentional. The primary bedroom includes a solid wood four-poster canopy bed, various built-ins, a wall of closets, and a floor-to-ceiling mirror that glides along the closet doors. A dedicated sliding door leads to the oversized deck. The adjacent guest bedroom includes a custom built-in desk set that looks out over the pool to the shared 20-acre pond. It's the kind of spot where work might feel a little less arduous. Accessed via both an internal hallway and its own private entrance sits a large room, currently used as a family archive, but can readily serve as a recreation space, screening room, game room, studio, or whatever you need it to be. Space is plentiful on the massive back deck. It can easily accommodate whatever outdoor life you can dream up. Just down the steps sits an in-ground pool with its own pool house, complete with a living room, kitchen and Murphy bed. Beyond that sits a private 20-acre pond, vast enough for an entire afternoon of canoeing, fishing, kayaking and quiet contemplation. This is a home built for gathering: the dinner that becomes a party, the weekend guests who never quite want to leave, all within close proximity to everything the Rondout Valley has to offer. 15 minutes to Inness, Westwind Orchard, Arrowood Brewery, Accord Market and Accord Social. 25 minutes to Kingston and Woodstock. It's a property that has to be seen to be fully appreciated.
