Bear Run in Narrowsburg, NY
Set on 18 wooded acres outside Narrowsburg, Bear Run is a sculptural retreat from the creative team behind Major Jacks and Wishbone. Its angular form and natural palette give the home a grounded presence in the landscape, bridging artful design with untamed surroundings. Every line and material feels intentional, creating a home that balances architectural rigor with livable warmth. Enter through the gallery-style foyer and up a low-slung lighted staircase to the upper-level great room, where white oak floors and a wall of windows frame the surrounding forest. A dual-sided fireplace clad in fluted tile anchors the space, its textured surface adding warmth and visual delight. Across the room, the color-blocked kitchen pairs maple, gray, and soft green cabinetry with a curvy eat-in island beneath reimagined vintage street lamps, and a perforated shroud above the range nods to Norwegian fjords. The home’s design motif continues in the patterned cutouts of the catwalk-style hallway, which connects the upper-level spaces. A bedroom occupies one end of the hallway, while a half bathroom with locally hand-glazed custom tiles and sconces sits at the opposite end.
