WOODLAND GEM, a lovely home for the holidays and all year round. Spacious 4-bedroom Catskills retreat on 6.5 acres at road's end. Private and quiet, no neighbors in sight, yet less than 2 hours by car from George Washington Bridge, only a short drive to the trails at Ashokan Reservoir, about 15 minutes to Kingston and Woodstock, and no more than an hour to local ski resorts. Builder's own home, constructed in 2005 with care and attention to quality materials and craftsmanship, durability and reliability, comfort and style. Rest assured with buried 200-amp electrical service, two zones of central air and numerous ceiling fans. Choose between oil- or propane-fired heating systems - each with 6 zones - all with the added security of a 10-kilowatt backup generator. A winding drive through towering pines and deciduous trees leads to a clearing of moss-covered fields. In season, one can forage for mushrooms on these grounds - sometimes just steps from the front door - with varieties of black trumpets, chantarelles, puff balls, boulette, hen of the woods and morels. This Arts and Crafts home welcomes you inside. Take the new stone steps past the wraparound porch, enter the parlor and begin your exploration. So many spots to stretch out on your own or gather with friends and family. The open floor plan offers an impressive great room with soaring ceiling and tall windows with an inviting kitchen, separate pantry and dining area. Hardwood floors throughout with built-in bookshelves, paneled doors and tons of storage. Discover the 3-season sunroom, family room, laundry room, half bath and luxurious primary bedroom suite with soaking tub and separate shower. Up the grand staircase, to the left is another bedroom with full bath, a third full wainscoted bath off the hallway, and two additional bedrooms. On the lower level is a two-car garage and full basement. Make this property your own. The parlor could be a formal foyer for greeting guests, a separate dining area for entertaining, a library or gallery/exhibit space, or even an extravagant "mud-room" for outdoor adventurers. Lounge in the 3-season sunroom, make it a sleeping porch or set up a long harvest table for dinner parties. The huge family room on the first floor offers space for a studio, home gym, office, media room and/or additional guest quarters. And don't miss this most unusual feature: a "secret room" with its own window behind a closet wall upstairs. Create a safe space for valuables or hide-and-seek. (Imagine a sliding bookcase for hidden access!) Heading outdoors, use bluestone on site to add a firepit and patios. Consider gardening, add a pool, blaze trails through the wooded wonderlands. Don't let this one pass you by!
