Quintessential compound on Woodstock's most iconic road in the historic Byrdcliffe Arts Colony. One of the original Woodstock Handmade homes with separate cottage is the perfect retreat. Perched on Mount Guardian, in the Arts and Craft style of the original Byrdcliffe colony, this home reflects the artistic origins and spirit of Woodstock. The main house lovingly built with hand hewn exposed beams and open floor plan. Walls of windows bathe all rooms in light. Hardwood floors and original, locally foraged brick floors throughout. Entertain in your open concept kitchen/ living room while gazing out into forever wild land. French doors lead out to a stone patio perfect for dining al fresco and firepit and established gardens beyond. This special home offers two bedrooms, one with French doors out to a private deck with seasonal views. Original hand-built door entryway with iron welded fixtures, it's all in the details. 390 sq ft pre existing cottage with newly renovated full bathroom with custom tile work. Cottage is a perfect guest space, office or studio. The property sits on 2.5 acres but is surrounded by thousands of acres of Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild land offering a sense of privacy and solitude but minutes to the center of Woodstock. Walk down the same road where Bob Dylan was sure to have gotten so much of his inspiration in these mountains, as the property he called home was a stones throw away. The Byrdcliffe Theater situated at the foot of the road and Mt. Guardian trailhead offering miles of extensive hiking trails. Minutes to the eateries, shopping and entertainment of Woodstock, this is your perfect oasis yet close to all the Hudson Valley has to offer. Current owner does have a owner occupied STR permit that can be applied for by new owner for transfer. Guest cottage not included in square footage.
