Historic Byrdcliffe Artist Colony! This 19th Century barn was dismantled piece by piece and transported to the beautiful Byrdcliffe Artist Colony in 1977. Enter this home from the striking catwalk and be met by a virtuoso in the post and beam style with cathedral ceilings on the main floor showing off the beautiful design and structure. The owners have remained true to the house which now provides a large and open center island kitchen, 5 bedrooms and 4 modern bathrooms which include a main floor bed and full bath. Après ski in the stunning sunken living room in front of the soaring river stone fireplace! Enjoy intimate conversations by the large picture windows or entertain a crowd with enough seating for 20 at dinner time. The dramatic stairwell will take you to the bedroom level where the post and beam construction is carried through to 4 comfortable bedrooms which include a spacious primary suite. The lower level of the house is a large open space which can accommodate a roomy seating area for movie night as well as a full size pool table or additional seating. The light filled space has full size windows and exterior sliding doors which lead to a blue stone patio and hot tub. A short distance from the patio is a cozy fire pit where you can enjoy cool evenings making s'mores. This lot has 3 very private wooded acres and seasonal views of the mountains. You can also enjoy the views from the main floor deck which runs from the catwalk around to the back of the house with plenty of room for seating and outdoor dining. When you want to go out, you are 5 minutes into Woodstock, and close to Saugerties and Kingston as well. There is tons of shopping, galleries and restaurants to interest you. If only nature will do, you are close to the Shokan Rail Trail and other amazing places to hike. Step back into history with today's modern amenities and make this your forever home.
