This is no cookie-cutter home! Built in 1980, the triple-height living room (with remote-controlled skylights, a fireplace, and plenty of windows), the massive arch across the back, the unusual angles, and the flow of the house from indoor to outdoor and space to space feels rare and utterly delightful.

Considered renovations have brought much of the original architecture to 2020 standards. Perched essentially on the side of a mountain on a (very!) quiet country road and with views of greenery from every window, the home feels very far from civilization.

And yet it's just about 15 minutes from either Beacon or Cold Spring, two of the most sought after towns in the Hudson Valley - surrounded by mountains and outdoor activities, bursting at the seams with independent restaurants and shops, and with easy MetroNorth access to/from NYC. With high-speed internet and four bedrooms, this home is ideal for anyone working remotely - or who wants to have space for friends, family, guests, etc.
