Description

The Catskills home of a renowned Manhattan architect has come on the market - are you sitting down? It's fabulous. Set on over four acres off a private road that borders the protected Bataviakill Watershed in Windham, the 4834 Sq. Ft home is connected to a 3-bay garage by a covered walkway, a modern interpretation of a New England covered bridge, that frames the grand views of Windham Mountain's slopes which originally attracted the home's creator to this special property. The exterior of the home is perfect - with tiered decks, patios, a sauna, and tidy landscaping that enhances the beauty of the home and the setting and requires very little care. The inside is lush with detail. A foyer and entry hall open to a 2-story living room with a wall of windows and a gigantic dry-mount stone fireplace. Wood details (cherry on the main floor, douglas fir beams, and cedar on the lower floor) warm the walls and ceilings throughout and comprise built-ins that serve as decorative elements and storage. Wide stairways to the lower and upper floors make the already spacious home feel larger. Off the living room is a formal dining area and a warm and welcoming u-shaped kitchen (a cook's dream!) that offers the same view as the living room. The architect considered the many ways the house might be used - from entertaining, to carving out private time, from play, to getting in some exercise. There's a curved family room that's big enough to host a party but decorated with wood and a cozy woodstove for year-round hygge. There's an office, a gym/recreation room, a cedar closet, and a billiards/game room on the lower floor. With one en suite bedroom on the main floor and 4 bedrooms on the second floor (including a primary suite with a private sitting room and balcony), there's space for everyone here. This is an incredible opportunity to own what might be the perfect mountain home just a few hours outside the city - seize it.
