516 Mt Guardian Rd Extension Shady, NY 12409

The best of Woodstock with complete privacy and quiet: This 3-bed, 2-bath contemporary is a quick drive to the village center but feels like an isolated retreat thanks to its 3.26 wooded and serene acres, all high up on private Mt. Guardian Road, with seasonal views of Mount Tobias and the Catskills range. The cedar-shingled house, meticulously maintained by the same contractor-owner for more than 20 years, features a super-efficient layout and gracious flow, allowing ample light throughout the interior year-round. It’s highlighted on the first floor by a gracious beamed living room with bluestone fireplace, leading out to a huge deck covering a newly expanded stone patio level with beautiful custom stone retaining walls. The eat-in kitchen features its own separate deck and adjoining full bathroom, and opens to a spacious dining room. Upstairs is an expansive master bedroom with walk-in closet and yet another deck, a sunny tiled bathroom and 2 additional bedrooms. The gleaming walk-out basement includes high-ceilinged space that could easily be converted to a home office, den or studio, with an exterior door straight to the new patio level. Mature trees, a seasonal stream and extensive fern beds complete a unique picture of quiet but convenient-to-town serenity.
