3105 Sharon Turnpike Millbrook, NY 12545

First time on market. The house was designed by notable Californian architect, Robert Marquis. He himself described the home as a Californian's version of a New England Farmhouse A house which is calm and comfortable but nonetheless the result of the most careful kind of architectural thought. An East-West hybrid, full of surprising and delightful spaces for living. Original owners retiring and moving west. This is a contemporary home, meticulously maintained with unique setting next to the East branch of Wappingers Creek, which meanders rather beautifully through the 30.8 acre property. Small vestibule on entry to the house, with Laundry/mud room to the right. Bedroom bath to the left. Up a couple of steps to the large open living room, dining room and additional work area with views through large windows to gardens. Vaulted ceilings with the center piece of the main living room being a fireplace with impressive, immaculately executed floor to ceiling stonework. Double sliding doors give access to the large deck constructed out of mahogany; perfect for outside entertaining with additional fireplace and views over Wappinger. Kitchen with breakfast and additional seating area in front of another lovely stone fireplace has plenty of storage and appliances acquired in the last few years. Also with sliding glass doors for egress to the outdoors. Stairs lead to guest bedroom with huge storage room (could be another bathroom too) and up, across the bridge connection to the principal suite with fireplace and a light flooded bathroom. Bedroom has private deck also over looking the creek. A covered link between the seperate garage building and the loft apartment above has bedroom area with additional seating and workspace as well as a private bathroom. The land is mostly wooded but the entrance driveway is via mostly open parkland. Lovely stone walls surround the car park and other outside spaces. Stonewalls surround large parking/entrance area. ONE ACRE ZONING. Potential for a conservation easement. Land could be divided by the stream giving one a 15+/- building site to the west sited between two rivers. Quite stunning. In the T of Washington but edge of village.
