Property Description
Set on just shy of three acres, the property feels private and unhurried, framed by mature plantings, wildflowers, and two magnificent willow trees that were old long before the house was imagined.
The home has been fully renovated with a clear point of view. Light is the first thing you notice. A custom front door opens to an entry clad in Clé travertine. From there, the living room unfolds beneath cathedral ceilings, anchored by a custom plaster wood-burning fireplace, built-ins, and a wall of windows opening onto a sprawling deck.
The kitchen is where the house truly shines. Fisher & Paykel and Bertazzoni appliances are paired with unhoned granite countertops, a Clé travertine backsplash, and a banquette that invites you to linger. An oversized window frames the willows and landscape beyond, while the deck becomes a natural extension of the space in warmer months.
The ease of one-level living is one of the home's greatest luxuries. All three bedrooms are positioned on the main floor, each with its own ensuite bath. Two are generously sized and could be reconfigured should a future owner need additional bedrooms. The primary suite occupies its own wing, wrapped in nearly 180 degrees of windows that fill the room with soft light throughout the day.
The primary bath elevates the renovation with custom microcement walls, handcrafted Zia tile, Waterworks fixtures, and an oversized soaking tub set against striking Viola marble.
The lower level has been fully refinished into bright, usable space ideal for a gym, studio, media room, or storage. Major system upgrades include a new heat pump and air handler, reverse osmosis water filtration, and fully electric operation. There is no propane or oil on the property. A detached one-car garage and electric-equipped shed provide additional flexibility.
Outside, the grounds offer both beauty and possibility. Horse fencing, a newly built stone wall, two driveways, and perennial gardens have all been carefully maintained. There is ample room for a kitchen garden, pool and pool house, and, tucked discreetly away with its own entrance and address, the opportunity for a guest house, studio, or income-producing rental.
Life here extends beyond the property itself. Hearty Roots and Montgomery Place Farms provide fresh provisions from the soil. Otto's Market serves some of the area's best Roman-style pizza and natural wine. Nines offers quietly exceptional dinners, while Mary McGill's studio showcases her one-of-a-kind jewelry.
Hudson is fifteen minutes away for antique shops and pastries at Mel's. Tivoli is under ten minutes for Fortunes or Hotel Tivoli. Rhinebeck is twenty minutes away for Little Goat Coffee or a film at Upstate Films. Catskill is equally close for a leisurely afternoon.
Just beyond it all, Olana sits above the Hudson River, while the trails, swimming holes, and mountain towns of the Catskills are within easy reach. Less than two hours from New York City and centrally positioned to enjoy the best of the Hudson Valley, Germantown sits at the center of everything while still feeling like a secret.
Willow Meadow is history, design, and land in a rare combination, a home deeply rooted and entirely ready for what comes next.
