A true oasis in the woods, this spacious home on 4.82 acres in the desirable hamlet of Garrison is perfect for full-time living, entertaining, and enjoying all that the area has to offer while remaining close to the city! Privately situated on a rolling hill, this home evokes a feeling of grandeur with its impressive height. The airy and bright living room boasts high ceilings and oversized windows that capture the surrounding woods. A double-sided fireplace is a stunning focal point that will keep you warm and cozy all winter long while enjoying the seasonal mountain views. An ample dining room is ideal for large gatherings and flows into the well-appointed kitchen which includes a gorgeous Viking range and can be hidden behind handsomely-crafted, fluted glass doors while entertaining. The top floor is fully dedicated to the generous primary suite complete with vaulted ceilings, seating area, en-suite bath w/shower, laundry room, free-standing tub, and a wood-burning stove that pivots to face the bed or the tub – what a retreat! Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a bonus room/home office are situated on their own floor with access to the 2-car garage and a separate entrance from the patio allowing for privacy (perfect for weekend guests)! This level opens up to a beautiful teak deck that leads to the yard, garden, and trails behind the house. There is yet another level below–660 sq ft walk-out basement with laundry and half bath–which also includes a light-filled studio (perfect for the artist, woodworker, or hobbyist) and with tons of potential to be used as a pool house as it is adjacent to the perfect pool site on the property. Conveniently located in Garrison, the home is near many dining and shopping options in Cold Spring (15 mins) and Beacon (30 mins), golf courses, the Garrison Art Center, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, and the year-round Cold Spring farmer’s market. Some of the best hiking trails in the area are just outside your door or a short 5-10 min drive away. Travel to and from the city is easy too–just 12 mins to the Metro North station in Garrison and a short 55-min drive to the GWB (although you might never want to leave your very own sanctuary in the woods!)
