Through a breezy entryway, step into Millbrook Modern’s light-drenched, open-layout living area. The first half of the space houses a large chef’s kitchen, which features custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a large eat-in island, and warm wood finishes. Beyond the kitchen, step down into the sunken living room – a large gathering space reminiscent of 1970s conversation pits. A wood-burning fireplace with custom tiles serves as the room’s centerpiece, sitting between a set of floor-to-ceiling windows and a glass door that opens onto the home’s back deck. This wing of the home also houses one of three bedrooms, which is currently being utilized as an intimate dining space.

In the second wing of the house, a wide corridor accented with warm wood walls and geometric windows leads past a full bathroom, guest room, and laundry area. At the end of the hall, the primary suite sits tucked away from the rest of the home. Broken up into three sections, the suite features a designated dressing room, spacious bedroom, and spalike bathroom with a deep soaking tub, walk-in shower, heated floors, and double-vanity sink. In addition to the living space and private quarters, the home also features a bonus den for additional office or gathering space, as well as an unfinished basement that offers the opportunity to expand the home by an additional 1,700 square feet.
Outside, Millbrook Modern’s grounds are equally as impressive as its build. Set on over three private acres of lush land, the property features a large deck, fire pit, cedar barrel sauna, and over 200 feet of waterfrontage on the picturesque Mill Brook. Beyond the grounds, the private Black Forest community offers residents exclusive access to 1,100 acres of wild preserve, mapped hiking trails, swimming holes, fishing spots, and stunning ravines. Despite its private location, Millbrook Modern is minutes from the Kadampa Meditation Center, Homestead School, and Circle Park. Just fifteen minutes away, the towns of Barryville, Eldred, and Forestburgh offer easy access to boutiques, bars, restaurants, river rafting, and the renowned Forestburgh Playhouse.
