After winding through the lush surroundings of Fish Creek Rd, turn onto the newly built tree lined drive to your modern oasis in the woods of Saugerties. Clad in pine tar preserved pine and topped with a 24 gauge standing seam metal roof, your new home is sleek and sophisticated while still blending into the beautiful scenery that surrounds it. The original structure built in the 1800's and converted to a home in 1949 was treated with the Japanese technique of Shou Sugi Ban making the pine waterproof and seamlessly melding into the 1500 sq ft modern addition completed in 2024. Each Cardinal Glass Industries double pane window was placed strategically to offer maximum privacy and all day natural light while perfectly framing the mature Japanese Maple, Dogwood and Mimosa trees that fill the 1.5 acres of land. Designed for the ease of single floor living high end materials, designer fixtures and soaring ceilings reaching 16ft bring a sense of luxury. A combination of red and white oak floors run throughout the home while the bathrooms have terrazzo tile floors and lime-washed walls. Radiant heat is run through much of this flooring while 5 zones of mini splits offer efficient heating and cooling. On cozy winter nights the cast iron wood burning stove offers an additional heating source. The open floor plan is drenched in sunlight pouring in from an expansive wall-to-wall window in the kitchen with custom walnut inset cabinetry with paneled appliances and carrara marble countertops. The only thing to draw you out of this serene home is the outdoor entertaining space that rivals most resorts. A concrete construction saltwater pool adjacent to a Red Balau deck is just a few steps down from the 30ft x 12ft pavilion set atop a blue-stone patio. Water, gas and 100 amp electricity have already been run to the structure for you to create the outdoor kitchen and sauna of your dreams. With all the hard work done for you the only thing left for you to do is unpack and start living a life a world away. © 2023 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
