From design to fruition, the vision was to build not just a house, but a sanctuary. A home that could simultaneously immerse the user in nature, while also acting as a protective shell in which one could inhabit, accommodating both spaces of gathering and spaces of privacy, of escape. This privately sited Stone Ridge contemporary on a lane off desirable Peak Rd is built to high standards of construction and energy efficiency. The wood and steel sided and metal roofed home is enveloped by triple glaze, "tilt and turn" Rieder casement windows and French doors in generously proportioned rooms. Upon entering the space, the open plan and framed views create a dialogue with the landscape. The stunning great room with high ceilings provides for an elegant living and dining experience, opening to the pool site - an add on option offered by the builder. Open Chef’s kitchen featuring an 8 burner Viking propane range with double oven, built-in faucet and hood, Thermador French door fridge/freezer, Bosch dishwasher and wine cooler in an oversized quartz island. The custom cabinets will be finished to suit the purchaser’s taste. The brushed brass finish of the Moen kitchen faucets is an attractive accent that continues in the sleek 2.5 bathrooms (with Grohe fixtures) and the brushed brass hardware on doors and the many closets throughout. The cathedral ceiling at the entrance is set up for rock-climbing enthusiasts, with a double layer of plywood for ease of installation. Polished radiant concrete floors on the ground level and radiant, white-washed oak floors and accent walls in the bedrooms and office upstairs. High-efficiency Viessman boiler coupled with 6 Mitsubishi ductless mini splits, some built into the ceilings for a low-profile look, provide for ultimate temperature control. The spacious first floor primary bedroom suite is neatly tucked away with a luxurious en suite bath with shower and tub and walk in closet. Washer/dryer are conveniently located on the first floor along with a roughed in sauna/steam or mud room. The second bedroom upstairs opens to a 40’ x 20’ rooftop terrace waiting for your landscaping design. A third bedroom, shared bath and an office or guest space complete the second floor. High-end LED recessed lighting and custom light fixtures on dimmer switches will set the mood for great occasions and compliments the detailing of the interior and exterior, enhanced by the clean design of no trim window and door frames. Generator transfer switch and multiple provisions for electric car chargers are in place. Add on options are a carport or garage with studio and pool. Enjoy your privacy only minutes from town and close to Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska, the Catskills and all Rondout Valley attractions.
