Built in 2022, this modern home balances thoughtful design with a connection to nature. Every aspect of the home has been done with intention, including its private location nestled in the woods, energy efficient features and open, light-filled spaces. This is a rare find - a recently built home with privacy less than 15 minutes from both Woodstock and Kingston. As you approach the house down the tree-lined driveway, you arrive at the perfect modern sanctuary with spacious, open concept living. The kitchen is outfitted with custom cabinets, solid surface countertops, and premium appliances including a Wolf range and Sub Zero refrigerator. The dining area sits next to floor-to-ceiling windows. Custom built-in bookshelves line the walls of the living area with multiple seating areas and a wood burning fireplace. On this floor, you will also find a full bath, an oversized two-car garage with a workspace and extra storage, and one more light-filled room that makes a perfect home gym, office or studio. Up the beautifully designed wood staircase is the second floor with two sunny and spacious guest bedrooms plus two guest baths. The primary suite is located at the end of the hall with cathedral ceilings covered in reclaimed tin panels, a walk-in closet, more built-in bookcases, large windows, and an ensuite bathroom with double sinks. At the other end of the hall is a breathtaking screening room for entertaining or watching your favorite films at home. A laundry room with storage rounds out this floor. Another gorgeous custom staircase leads you to the third floor finished attic space with skylights - making it a perfect office, reading room, or yoga studio. This home was built using high quality materials and energy efficiency in mind, including insulated concrete form exterior walls, triple glazed windows, a metal roof, mini-split units and tile flooring with radiant heat throughout the home. There is also a home generator. Outside you have over 5 acres to explore. Play in the open and level front yard or head out to the serene back patio/yard with outdoor dining area and grill. (Both have room for a pool!) There is also a fire pit for cozy evening hangs. For the more adventurous, take a hike into the woods where you will find large rock outcroppings and a babbling stream. The restaurants, shops and venues of Woodstock are only 10 minutes away, while it's less than 15 minutes to Kingston, and an hour and a half to the GWB in NYC.
