Designed by the minds at DEN Outdoors, the home’s handsome facade leads to a bright, airy interior, creating a stark contrast throughout the home. With over four acres of private land surrounding the build, The Den House serves as a secluded Upstate getaway, just a short drive to the bustling town of Rhinebeck.

Through the front door, enter into The Den House’s spacious, open-concept living area. Immediately to the left, the gourmet kitchen – complete with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and a large, eat-in island – creates a functional space for entertaining and casual dining. The open layout of the living area allows for a formal dining setup outside of the kitchen, creating multiple spaces to enjoy meals throughout the home. Between the kitchen and the dining area, a wood-burning stove anchors the remainder of the living space, creating a centerpiece for intimate evenings and large gatherings alike. Beyond the living area, a full-height sliding glass door opens onto the back deck, allowing for easy movement between the home’s indoor and outdoor spaces.

Back inside, a hallway from the living area leads to two bedrooms, each of which features a double-door closet, high ceilings, and glass doors that open onto the deck. Across the hall, two shared spalike bathrooms with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and modern finishes flank a sleek, functional laundry room. At the end of the hallway, there is an additional flex space that can serve as a library, study, or compact home gym.

Despite feeling secluded on its four-acre property, this minimalist retreat is less than ten minutes from the heart of Rhinebeck. Those looking for an evening on the town can start the night with a drink from The Rhinecellar or Pretty to Think So before heading to dinner at notable restaurants like Bia, River  & Post, or Cinnamon. Just over ten minutes south of The Den House, the Margaret Lewis Norrie State Park in Staatsburg offers a hub for outdoor recreation, including snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, hiking, camping, and biking. The home is also less than fifteen minutes away from the Rhinecliff Station, making its location ideal for those who prefer easy access to NYC.
