For the discerning, the wait is over. The moment tires leave pavement for the gravel on this classic country driveway, the exhale begins. Pass the Adirondack chairs perched on the hill, surrounded by natural rock outcroppings. These chairs encourage reflection and relaxation after exploring the property's private trails. The painted sky sunsets are stunning and offer a 360 degree immersive experience. Whatever your outdoor fancy, it can be yours here. Inside, the home strikes the ideal balance of open flow and generous proportions while remaining warm, intimate and inviting - a setting that beckons fond memories and peaceful retreat. A wall of windows frame nature as art, while soaring ceilings and a dramatic floor to ceiling stone fireplace set the tone for the heart of this open flow home. Formally owned by a renowned pastry chef and hobbyist artist, the kitchen is a culinary dream with abundant counter space, cabinetry and top of the line appliances, including a SubZero refrigerator. The oversized island, complete with butcher block countertop and seating, is thoughtfully designed for entertaining and everyday ease. The residence was expanded after its initial construction to include the "East Wing," an additional spacious bedroom and bonus room - perfect as an office, studio or to accommodate guest over flow. En route to the main deck, the sunroom of windows inspired many artistic moments through the years. The metal roof capping that special spot seems creatively fitting. Shared briefly with a neighbor, the driveway quickly veers off and becomes private, offering both convenience and seclusion. Located just minutes from the village of Red Hook, with its charming boutiques, cafes, restaurants and welcoming shopkeepers. Bard College, Kaatsbaan, Tivoli, Poet's Walk and local farmers markets are also just minutes away or explore the bounty of the Hudson Valley from your well located launchpad. That is, if you can bear to leave.
