Through what was once a speakeasy door hidden behind a cigarette machine is the second bedroom – a library-like space with custom built-in shelves. This bedroom leads into the home’s East Wing; a spacious dwelling adorned with porcelain and beeswax-finished adobe walls.
A second kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, leathered granite countertops, a dining alcove, and skylights, creates a warm backdrop to gatherings in the living room. A wood-burning stove sits adjacent to sliding glass doors that lead onto a large cedar deck that can accommodate al fresco dining. Off the living room, a sizeable third bedroom offers a private retreat from the rest of the home. On the opposite end of the wing, a second bathroom features spalike touches, such as a rainfall showerhead and a deep soaking tub.
Set against a lush forest, the property has a landscaped, park-like setting with a tranquil ambiance. In addition to the cedar deck off the East Wing, outdoor spaces include a pond with a locust wood walkway, a moss-covered bluestone patio, a private outdoor shower, and a 1,600 square foot garden. Over the past twenty years, the owner has planted over one hundred different species of trees, adding to the diversity of the vegetation.
Within a ten-minute drive, the towns of High Falls and Stone Ridge house several notable businesses, including Ollie’s Pizza, High Falls Food Co-op, Hash, and Hasbrouck House. In addition to more restaurants, grocery stores, and other local amenities, the bustling towns of Kingston and New Paltz are in close proximity.
