You'll love this true nature lover's retreat, just 60 miles from NYC! Bordering 280 acre Topstone Park, this rare gem is a special place to call home. It underwent a total rebuild in 2003, resulting in a home that feels both timeless & entirely current. The professionally landscaped grounds burst with color creating a seamless connection between the indoors & the gorgeous natural landscape.At the heart of the home a chef's kitchen serves as the ultimate gathering spot, flowing into the dining/liv. areas. Here, soaring cathedral ceilings & large windows invite the light in.The charm of this home lies in its "not a cookie-cutter" personality. You'll find delightful nods to its heritage, like original oversized planked floors, exposed brick, paired with the rustic warmth of hand-hewed beams and hardwood floors that run throughout most of the home. With 3-4 beds and 2 fpls, the layout is as functional as it is beautiful. The primary suite on main level with walk-in closet & full bath is ideal. The lower level is a revelation, with high ceilings, a massive fireplace, bath & private entrance offering incredible potential. As a model of modern efficiency, a new roof was installed with a cutting-edge solar power system in 2023 with a prepaid 25-year assumable lease:this system currently generates more energy than the home consumes, providing a massive financial benefit. Having a nature sanctuary bordering your prop. with a beach, trails & boating is the ideal place to call home.
