Constructed of stone with cedar shake shingles, copper gutters, and a slate roof, the home feels deeply connected to its surrounding landscape. Inside, exposed beams, soaring ceilings, warm wood detailing, original stone fireplaces, and rich millwork reflect the enduring character of the home’s original architecture. The cozy eat-in kitchen features luxury appliances, soapstone countertops, and easy flow into the main living area, where hardwood floors, a dramatic stone fireplace and a lofted overlook create a warm gathering space framed with memorable western mountain sunset views. Three en suite bedrooms include a primary retreat with soaring ceilings, radiant heated floors, screened porch access, and loft-style office space, a thoughtful addition from a 2016 remodel. Framed by the natural beauty of the Hudson Highlands, Fort Defiance Hill House is a timeless expression of Arts and Crafts design — where architecture, landscape, and craftsmanship exist in harmony.
