Form follows function. Nestled in the Catskills foothills, the classic exterior surprises with living spaces that expand upward with vaulted ceilings and out into nature with a curtain wall of windows opening to an expansive deck. This light-filled home takes your breath away upon entry. Hand-hewn beams reclaimed from an on-site Victorian-era barn are masterfully incorporated into the modern build, blending past and present. The lofted space above is ideal for seeking enlightenment, working out, or actually working before retiring to the primary suite with a walk-in closet and beveled tub overlooking the woods. Two bedrooms and a full bath on the first level make hosting guests easy, and a large unfinished walk-out basement offers storage or potential additional living space. Designed to maximize connection to nature, every room has perfectly positioned windows and there are multiple levels outside for soaking it all in or hosting soirees. The large deck is perfect for sun salutations, and an elevated fire pit overlooks an exterior dining area tucked into the original weathered white brick foundation. Space is allocated for a garage and/or in-ground pool. Located on the border of Accord and Kerhonkson, two sought-after hamlets in the Hudson Valley and Catskills, you'll have access to public land for hiking, biking, and skiing, as well as excellent restaurants and farmstands. This will be your bucolic full-time or part-time retreat only 88 miles from the GWB with scenic routes all the way from the bridge.
