Once part of the Byrdcliffe Arts Colony, this turnkey property has been completely transformed over the years into a stunning modern retreat complete with a studio/guest suite, heated gunite pool, screened porch and carport privately set on a park-like half acre just minutes from Woodstock Village. Impeccably renovated, structurally rebuilt, and lovingly maintained over the past 20 years by one family. Built circa 1900, this historic home has been tastefully redesigned by a NYC architect, carefully preserving much of its original charm while at the same time modernizing it. Notable Byrdcliffe characteristics have been thoughtfully renewed such as the dark wood siding, turquoise window trim, exposed posts and beams, hardwood and bluestone flooring. Newer features and high end finishes modernize the space such as hand-plastered walls, vaulted ceilings, a floating steel stairway, designer lighting, spa-like bathrooms and oversized picture windows. Custom floor to ceiling glass and steel-framed doors create a wall of glass opening onto the expansive stone patio from both structures allowing an effortless flow between the spaces. The new oversized panes of glass fill the space with light and create an ever-present connection to the outdoors. The main floor features an open concept kitchen, living, and dining area with a central wood burning stove, well suited for hosting gatherings. The fully renovated kitchen offers generous counter space and cabinetry, featurnig a long marble countertop, a custom stainless steel island with bar seating and high end appliances including a built-in Wolf gas range and oven. A floating steel stairway leads upstairs to three bedrooms with vaulted hand-plastered ceilings and designer wall lamps. A serene concrete bathroom with claw-foot soaking tub and skylit standing shower with rain head offers a calm escape. Each bathroom is adorned with slick designer faucets and basins. There is a separate flexible studio space / guest suite with radiant heated stone floors, a split unit, full bath, laundry, and an outdoor shower. Across the stone patio, a heated saltwater gunite pool is framed by dry-laid bluestone terracing and a sunny fully-fenced lawn. The ALFA wood-fired pizza oven, imported from Italy, is a great excuse to entertain on the patio which is available separate from the sale. Great care was taken in the renovation including all updated mechanicals and HVAC, central air upstairs, Nest controls, new standing seam metal roof, and stainless steel gutters. A list of improvements is available. Enjoy comfortable modern living surrounded by the wild beauty of the Catskill Mountains. Just minutes to Woodstock Village, 20 minutes to Kingston, 30 minutes to the Amtrak at Rhinecliff and 1.5 hours to GWB.
