About the Listing CLBANS01 - 11217

For the discerning, the wait is over. The moment tires leave pavement for the gravel on this classic country driveway, the exhale begins. The Adirondack chairs perched on the hillside, surrounded by natural rock outcroppings, serve as a gentle reminder of the reflection and relaxation found after exploring the property's maintained private trails. It's dusk with a painted sky sunset surrounding the property in another spectacular show on your approach. It's magical here. Inside, the home strikes the ideal balance of open flow and generous proportions while remaining intimate and inviting - a setting that beckons both cherished memories and quiet retreat. A wall of windows frame nature as art, while soaring ceilings meet majestic stone fireplace to set the tone for the heart of this open flow home. Formerly owned by a renowned French pastry chef and hobbyist artist, the kitchen is a culinary delight with abundant counter space, cabinetry and top of the line appliances, including a SubZero refrigerator. The oversized island, complete with butcher block countertop and seating, is thoughtfully designed for entertaining and everyday ease. The residence was expanded after its initial construction to include the "East Wing," an additional spacious bedroom and bonus room - a versatile space as office, den or to accommodate guest overflow. Just off the main living space, a petite yet striking solarium connects the interior to the deck - framed in glass, it blurs the line between indoors and out. The space has served as a wellspring of inspiration for painting and creative pursuits, offering immersive views of the surrounding landscape in every season. A distinctive metal roof in a warm, burnt orange hue crowns the solarium, rising above the main roofline like a creative beacon. Mirrored in the color of the front door, this architectural accent quietly unifies the home's artistic spirit, both inside and out. Located just minutes from the village of Red Hook, with its charming boutiques, cafes, restaurants and welcoming shopkeepers. This home is also close to Bard College, Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, Tivoli, Poet's Walk and vibrant local farmers markets. It's the perfect launchpad for exploring the bounty of the Hudson Valley - if you can bear to leave. Open house Saturday, October 4th 10:30-12:30. May the Forest Be with You!
