148 Lewis Hollow Rd Woodstock, NY 12498

Truly a treasure, this unique and private Arts and Crafts home with extraordinary contemporary additions is set within an establish protected garden oasis and surrounded by 76+ acres of woodland- all just minutes to the center of Woodstock. The stone & glass home creatively weaves together two distinguished artists who deeply loved the mountainside from which this Woodstock home rises. Bruno Zimm built the home in the early 20th century. It is his poetic mastery of stone & wood carving, full of spirit & craft, which one discovers both inside & out with Zimm's carvings & inscriptions in wood & stone. MILTON & SHIRLEY GLASER, the homes second owner, have been magnets, and drawn iconic artists & entrepreneurs to Woodstock during the past half century. They can be credited with shaping the course of the community. They have artfully added the contemporary aesthetic & sensibility of glass & light balancing perfectly Zimm's stone & solid arts & crafts approach. Milton Glaser is recognized as one of the centuries top graphic designers and built his natural light filled studio overlooking an Italian inspired pool & garden from which he derives inspiration when he worked in the country (everyone knows him if they know the I LOVE NY heart logo, or Dylan psychedelic head profile). The ground floor of the home has a cozy living and dining room, with Zimm created fireplaces at either end! The sunny, sleekly renovated kitchen is spacious and opens out to the gardens and pool. A perfectly proportioned office with another fireplace is the "bridge" from which the home flows into a "cathedral" -- the 50 foot long living/ great room is perfect for entertaining & gatherings or blissful contemplation. Sliding glass doors along the long sides of this great room open to both forest and a bluestoned landscaped patio. A French boules court is adjacent to the pool..The house has three bedrooms, all in the original section of the house; one is small and all who visit enjoy the pitch of roofline & dormer windows. Two full baths are on the second floor. The gardens have been lovingly cared for for many years with many perennials and an underground water system. At the far end of the pool area a country gate opens to hours of pristine woodland exploration.. the long side of property borders state land while the year round stream runs along the McGee side of the property. A future owner may want to build a second home or family compound and could cross the stream by building another bridge. The property is amazing.. House is now vacant & may need some updating.
