This contemporary post & beam style home offers complete privacy and natural beauty on 9 acres bordering Scenic Hudson Preserve land and the Shaupeneak Ridge Park. The perfect mix of modern and rustic, this home is your respite from urban life or place to put down roots and call home. Step inside and you’ll feel the warm glow of sunlight streaming from the two-story windows bathing the hardwood floor in the living room. As the light floods the space it bounces around and through the post and beam construction creating an open and airy, yet cozy feeling beneath it. Centering the room is a brick fireplace to keep you warm on chilly nights. The dining room combines rustic terra cotta tile floor and wood beam ceiling with the modern addition of 5 skylights and a wall of glass welcoming in the sunlight and drawing you out to the expansive deck and lush green lawn and forest beyond. The kitchen was updated with custom cabinets, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. It leads to a large screened in porch, a Hudson Valley necessity, with vaulted ceiling, skylight, and ceiling fan. There’s a first-floor bath, recently updated, with a gray tiled shower and glass doors. Upstairs are two more bedrooms with plenty of personality offering loft space and a tree house feel as well as a full bath. The primary bedroom is a romantic escape offering a brick wall and double height windows bringing in heartwarming light to shine through the beams and across the wood ceiling. The primary en-suite bath was also recently updated with warm earth toned tile. Through the primary bedroom, overlooking the living room is loft space with built in bookcases, perfect for a reading nook or office. Outside you’re surrounded by nature. Two decks offer views of the beauty that surrounds you, and invite you to entertain, play or explore. A two-car garage is a great place to keep your cars and toys and has a studio apartment above, complete with kitchenette and full bath – great for guests, home office or studio. This property…modern, rustic, spacious, cozy, natural, urbane…won’t last long. Make this home, your home.
