336 Main Street, Germantown, NY 12526

Location. Privacy. Views. Retreat to 336 Main Street, a hidden jewel in Germantown real estate. A mere half-mile from the center of Germantown's historic hamlet, a winding tree-lined driveway with park-like landscaping leads to this exceptional property. A transformed landscape of 8 acres includes rolling lawns, wooded acreage, and extensive and established perennial gardens, including significant massing of mature shrubs. Beyond the landscaped parking area is a dramatic reveal of one of Germantown's finest views of the Catskill Mountain range. From this vantage on a hill, the ever-changing sky hovers over layers of tree lines and open fields. The view is nothing short of spectacular, with sunrise turning the Catskills pink, and dramatic full-spectrum sunsets moving into starry nights throughout the year. The well-maintained house was entirely renovated by a multi-generational family of builders to exacting terms for the current owners. Stone walls and a bluestone path amongst flowering gardens leads to the house's front porch. Inside, the open-plan ground floor is filled with natural light through walls of windows and glass doors. A cooks kitchen is anchored by a massive Carrera marble island, with a 6-burner Viking Range, Subzero fridge, wall oven/microwave, twin sinks and dishwashers. Gatherings around the kitchen spill into the living/dining room, spaces leading to a large screened porch and an open porch overlooking the majestic mountain and garden views. 9- foot ceilings throughout enhance the rooms' volume and space. Down a few stairs is a 3/4 bath next to the library and study, with views of the Catskills, meadows, and gardens. Pocket doors provide privacy for watching television or reading, and beyond, additional pocket doors lead to an office space with a built-in desk and daybed for guest overflow. Upstairs are three en-suite bedrooms. The first guest room, with 3/4 bathroom, has double-height ceilings, and a built-in daybed under massive 10-foot skylight framing the Catskill view. The second guest room enjoys a private deck overlooking the gardens, and a full bath. The impressive primary suite has a private deck facing Catskill views, and a very large bathroom with double vanity, a soaking tub, and a large marble-tiled shower. A laundry room is also located on the bedroom level. The third floor is a large playroom, with four custom-built bunk beds, a work-station, and a storage room that can be converted to a bathroom.
