Description

Welcome to a truly extraordinary architect-designed manor home, privately nestled at the end of a wooded cul-de-sac on 2.87 beautifully landscaped acres. From its distinctive hand-cut stone exterior to its dramatic soaring ceilings and exceptional craftsmanship, this one-of-a-kind residence offers a rare combination of timeless character, architectural beauty, modern updates, and complete privacy—all just minutes from the Taconic State Parkway and I-84. From the moment you arrive, it is clear this home is something special. The striking exterior combines hand-cut stone in an elegant ashlar pattern with rough-cut cedar-style Hardie plank siding, complemented by mature landscaping and extensive stone walls. The setting is peaceful and private, creating the feeling of a secluded country estate. Step inside and prepare to be captivated by the spectacular double-sided, hand-cut stone fireplace, which rises dramatically from the floor to an impressive 18-foot wood ceiling in the living room. This remarkable architectural feature serves as the centerpiece of the home, creating warmth, character, and a sense of grandeur throughout the main living spaces. The open-concept first floor was thoughtfully designed for both comfortable everyday living and impressive entertaining. The gourmet kitchen features a six-burner cooktop, soft-close cabinetry and drawers, dishwasher, and an abundance of well-planned storage. The adjoining hearth room provides the perfect gathering space, with four French doors bringing in an abundance of natural light and opening directly onto an expansive stone patio overlooking the private wooded grounds. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The expansive stone patio overlooks a beautiful, level lawn and peaceful wooded surroundings, providing an exceptional setting for entertaining, relaxing, dining, or simply enjoying the tranquility of your own private retreat. Throughout the home, beautiful birch hardwood floors, custom woodworking, exposed beams, and soaring ceilings showcase the exceptional quality and attention to detail. The 20' x 20' first-floor primary suite is a true private sanctuary, featuring dramatic ceiling height, exposed beams, beautiful windows, and French doors opening directly to the stone patio. The luxurious primary bath offers a Jacuzzi tub, open shower, and double vanity. Upstairs, a spacious loft/study overlooks the dramatic living room and provides a versatile space for a home office, library, reading area, or quiet retreat. Two generously sized bedrooms offer high ceilings and walk-in closets, complemented by a full bathroom. At the end of the hallway, an oversized bonus room offers endless possibilities—create the ultimate game room, home theater, recreation room, gym, or additional living space. More than $150,000 in recent upgrades and improvements further enhance this exceptional property, including a new air-conditioning system; removal of the existing oil tank and heating system with installation of an efficient tankless propane system for heat and hot water; whole-house generator; interior and exterior painting; Dacor kitchen refrigerator; Viking microwave; GE oven; electric vehicle charging station; sheds; and additional improvements. This is far more than a home—it is a distinctive architectural residence that offers privacy, craftsmanship, dramatic spaces, and the comforts of modern living. A rare opportunity to own a truly special property where timeless design meets the beauty and serenity of a private country setting.
