58 Dry Brook Rd West Shokan, NY 12494

This place is magical. It really is. Wake up to the sound and sight of the year round stream and the light streaming in through the vast windows. Make your breakfast in the open kitchen with 18 foot ceilings, custom cabinets and a Viking appliance suite. This home feels light and airy all year long. Even on a dreary day. The open living room floor plan will make you feel expansive and calm at the same time. After a day of light flooding the space relax in front of the propane fireplace. This main level also has a sunny bedroom and a large bathroom with a 2 person soaking tub and glass enclosed shower. The entire level has wide plank floors with clear stain which add to the lightness of the space. During the warmer months dine outside on the large screen porch overlooking the stream. On the lower level you will find 3 additional bedrooms, one of which can be a spacious in home office with 8 foot high sliding barn doors. Two bedrooms share a bathroom. On this level you will also find a large primary suite with its own sitting room/media area, pampering bathroom with shower/whirlpool combo overlooking the stream and just outside is your outdoor hot tub and shower. This level has polished concrete floors which give it a bit of a modern industrial feel. The grounds have been amply landscaped with stone work, perennial plantings as well as 18 birch trees that have been planted to compliment the existing birch trees on the property as well as the 18' high birch mural painted by local artist Kelli Bickman. This solar ready eco home is built from Insulated Concrete Forms on the first level and Structural Insulated Panels for the second level and roof. It has ductless mini-splits in each room for heating and cooling, hardwired high speed ethernet and WIFI, a fantech whole house air exchange system, a UV light water purification system, reverse osmosis water filtration system with alkalinizer, Automatic Generac whole house back up generator which comes in handy, iron remover filter, a state of the art well pump delivering high water pressure and a 24 gauge metal standing seam roof. Close to amazing hiking and walking trails and state land right at the end of the road. A twenty minute scenic drive to Woodstock and seven minutes to Bread Alone bakery and a good supermarket. Don't let the driveway worry you. It doesn't get slippery in the winter and after a couple of times you get used to reversing back to the road. Or if one car you can turn around. The property feels like you are on multiple acres since both lots to either side are very steep and do not have any homes on them. Come see for yourself. Virtual tour is also helpful to get a feeling of the property during the warmer months. And you might ask why do I have Vernazza Italy as the last picture? Well, because coming back from any glorious vacation such as Italy is much easier when you are coming back here. Listing agent is the owner.
