This contemporary masterpiece was created with the specific intent of bringing nature inside by its original owners: the co-owner of a rustic outdoor furniture company, and an ad exec. The centerpiece of the home is a custom 13×13 atrium with beautiful landscaping, visible from the living room, kitchen and den. After the homes completion, it caught the eye of the New York Times who featured the home in the March 31, 1994 pages of House Proud. “Not content with a spectacular view from every room, the couple brought the outdoors in with an atrium filled with indigenous plants in the center of their contemporary house,” says the author. “Short of camping, there isn’t much more Marvin Davis and Catherine Payne could do to enjoy the outdoors at their country house in Woodstock, NY.”
Located on Overlook Mountain, the 7.6 acre property abuts 10,000 acres of public land, and boasts spectacular mountain views. The house has a living room ceiling that peaks at 22 feet, floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors. This wall of windows show off the picturesque 100 mile Hudson Valley view, and is anchored by a stylish hanging wood burning fireplace. Sliding doors open to a wrap-around deck, perfect for hosting and entertaining; the deck also connects to the home’s in-ground pool.
The one-level home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, each offering its own unique view. Almost everywhere you turn you, there’s a view of the outdoors – even in the primary bedroom, where there’s a floor-to-ceiling window in the shower. In addition to the beauty that surrounds this specialty home, it’s environmentally conscious, offering solar power as well as geothermal energy.
Last, the location is ideal: this privately sited contemporary home is just ten minutes to heart of Woodstock, and 20 to Saugerties – both of which offer some of the best shopping and restaurants in the Catskills.
