Through the front door, enter into the home’s living space where an open-concept layout connects kitchen, dining and living spaces. Flanked by two large windows, a propane stove anchors the living room, visible from all parts of the living and dining areas. This touch easily adds warmth and atmosphere to the open space that’s perfectly suited for entertaining.

In the kitchen, an eat-in waterfall-style island, ample counter space, and a functional layout creates a central hub for socializing in the home. Sleek new appliances and finishes are found throughout; the home was completed in early 2024.

Down the hall, three distinct bedrooms, a shared full bathroom, and a powder room are set aside from the home’s living areas. The primary suite features a minimalist ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, tiled vanity, and modern finishes.

Further down the hallway, a single door opens into the building’s 1,600-square foot studio, allowing for an easy transition from home to work. This space features soaring ceilings and enjoys its own fully functional kitchen (with an additional sink for washing brushes and materials), a full bathroom, lofted storage, and a wood-burning stove. With 14-foot-high ceilings, an open layout, high windows, and large white walls, there is space and durability for artists to experiment, create, and display their final products.

Outside, the covered deck on the front of the building provides space for grilling and outdoor dining. It also serves as a covered firewood storage area, ideal for keeping wood dry throughout the year. Behind the building is a sizable fire pit patio, creating an outdoor gathering space that can be used into the colder months. 3,300 acres of private forest surround the home, creating a secluded feel throughout the property.

Within easy driving range from NYC, but full of the upstate country experience, this property is perfect for full or part time living. The builder/owner Peter Maslow lives and works in the studio half while occasionally renting the three bedroom main space on Airbnb (see listing here.)

Less than ten minutes away from this artist retreat is the town of Barryville, an active river community on the New York-Pennsylvania border. During the summer months, take advantage of the river sports offered at Reber River Trips and Kittatinny Adventure Center. For year-round happenings, head across the river and stop into Rohman’s for cheap beer, pub fare, and hand-set bowling. For dinners in town, The Heron and River’s Edge offer indoor and outdoor riverside dining, both less than 20 minutes from the home.
