19 Fox Hollow Rd, Woodstock, NY 12498

Woodstock Zen-like custom contemporary on beautiful, and very secluded, acreage bordered by an additional 6 acres of forever peaceful conservancy land -- making this more like 9.5 acres -- a haven and a delight! Outside is a breath of fresh air in every way. On a private road with only 2 other homes. This house is at the very end, invisible, just out of sight. The driveway winds down and around to a gorgeous open lawn. Both large front and back yards melt gently into the woods and surrounding stone walls. Watch friends and the kids play soccer from the front tiered decks while you have cocktails and then enjoy smores by the fire pit just a stone's throw away. The front French doors beckon you in to a massive, yet contemplative, space -- a spectacular great room with soaring pyramid ceiling. Walls of glass provide abundant natural light. This extraordinary room is anchored by a dramatic stone fireplace; for apres ski or a warm winter cuddle spot in a cozy yet lofty living area. There is a modern and spacious kitchen with two sinks, a prep area, and a massive island where you can chat with your guests while you cook a gourmet meal. The dining area is seamlessly integrated into the space with wonderful views of the back yard and patio. There is another set of French doors just off the kitchen/dining area making entertaining a breeze. Each space informs the other and gives this home an overriding simplicity and calm. Here's a bonus -- a finished walk-out lower level with windows and its own glass entryway. Downstairs is currently used as a multi-purpose room: a play room, a media center, yoga/exercise space, den, and sometimes as an extra bedroom. There is a laundry area and tons of storage hidden away yet easily accessible. The downstairs is its own comfortable and convenient hang-out with an element of practicality but room to let go. There is a well-tailored glamour about this residence that is highlighted by a grey/blue metal roof, symmetrical architectural design, stained wood siding, all set in natural and expansive landscaping. Well-built and energy-efficient with new split a/c, the house is currently being used as a 3 bedroom with an additional office space. The town records show it to be a 2 bedroom but the septic tank is 1,000 gal and can accommodate 3 bedrooms...and maybe even 4. Less than 2 hours to NYC (exit 19) and only minutes to Woodstock and Saugerties villages for shopping, dining, and a relaxed stroll in two of the quaintest towns in the Catskills. 40 minutes to 3 ski centers (Belleayre, Hunter, Wyndham). A modern and peaceful "home sweet home" in the country.
