Meander down a tree-lined private drive which opens to dramatic views of Overlook Mountain that rivals the landscapes painted by the Hudson River School artists. This meticulously designed contemporary by architect Barry Price pays homage to the area's arts and crafts influence with accents of bluestone flooring, natural wood columns and interior details. Perfectly sited to the southwest, nature is invited indoors by the use of expansive glass panels and windows as you watch the glorious seasonal sunsets from nearly every room. The spacious main living area has an open floor plan which includes a true chef's kitchen (homeowner is a well-known local chef and author) beautiful dining area, living room with vaulted ceilings, bluestone fireplace, soothing fountain and substantial screened porch. A stunning glass walled separate family room which is now affectionately known as "the music room" also serves as an in-home office. The second floor primary bedroom suite with private bath and screened porch balcony is perfect for star-gazing or just quiet moments with a loved one. The owner, a well known local artist created a light filled professional painters studio enhanced with skylights, built-in custom desk and work space with ample storage. This versatile room could be transformed into a home theater, play area or bedroom--there are endless possibilities for this space! If you yearn for a picturesque landscape, the owners vision has matured the property into a paradise with perennial flower gardens, terraces, bluestone walkways, patios and handcrafted benches. A focal point in the garden is the bluestone plunge pool where you can cool off and the waterfall that flows between the stones was so carefully constructed, it looks like a natural pond. The gardens were professionally designed by the artist/engineer Jon Kahn who created this magnificent outdoor living space. Off to the side of the house is an 8-person hot tub which is perched on a deck with mountain views and a refreshing outdoor shower. Radiant-heated floors, solar panels, large basement and two-car garage complete the picture. This oasis is surrounded almost entirely by lands owned by Opus 40, which ensures privacy and view protection. Only 5.6 miles to Woodstock Village and 5.7 miles to Saugerties Village, both vibrant communities with great restaurants, culture and year-round activities. 2.5 hours from NYC.
