Property Description
For more than twenty years, the gardens have evolved into a verdant, richly layered landscape. Moonflowers and sunflowers mingle with echinacea, daffodils, tulips and climbing vines, while a handmade waterfall tumbles into a koi pond below. It has the depth and abundance that only a mature garden can achieve, one that has grown alongside the house and become an integral part of how the property is experienced.
Step inside and the architecture immediately reveals itself. Soaring ceilings rise above a dramatic great room, where walls of windows flood the space with natural light and dissolve the boundary between house and garden. A woodstove anchors the room and radiates warmth throughout the home, while the slightly sunken living area, a wonderful nod to the sunken living rooms of the 1970s, brings intimacy to an otherwise grand volume.
Rising nearly twenty feet above the great room, the open staircase becomes an architectural focal point of its own. From below, the eye travels upward through the house, while from above, there is a beautiful connection back to the living spaces below. The open sightlines continue into the dining room, allowing conversation and entertaining to move easily from one space to the next.
Tucked just beyond the dining room, the three-season screened porch may be the quiet jewel of the house. It is a place for morning coffee and slow starts, summer rainstorms, long dinners and those rare moments when there is nowhere else you need to be. From here, the garden becomes the entertainment, birdsong, monarchs and hummingbirds moving among the flowers, and the gentle sound of the waterfall spilling into the koi pond. Protected from the elements yet completely immersed in the landscape, it is a space that invites you to slow down and stay awhile.
A generously proportioned first-floor primary suite with an en suite bath adds ease to the floor plan, while three additional bedrooms and a full bath upstairs create a natural separation of space for guests.
The home's Mediterranean influence carries through its stucco exterior and beautifully proportioned casement windows, which open to capture the breeze and allow fresh air to circulate throughout the house. Set on a generous landscaped property, the home is also being offered with an adjacent parcel of nearly three-quarters of an acre. The additional land can remain untouched to preserve this extraordinary sense of privacy or offer possibilities for creating an extended compound with an additional dwelling.
After years of walking through homes throughout the Hudson Valley, it still feels special to encounter one that is genuinely its own. This house has personality. It has drama and grandeur, but also warmth, intimacy and a wonderful sense of ease. Most of all, it has been shaped over time, by architecture, by landscape and by twenty years of life lived within it.
