Description

California in the Catskills! Light sparkles and bounces off the warmth of wood in this beautifully designed home which takes loving advantage of its outside environs. On a dead end road convenient to New Paltz and Kingston, this house, although constructed later, shares some features of mid-century design, especially in its flow. One of its several highlights is a custom-designed kitchen with hand-made cabinetry and double height ceiling, open to the sunny and generous dining area; another is a sun-splashed...California in the Catskills! Light sparkles and bounces off the warmth of wood in this beautifully designed home which takes loving advantage of its outside environs. On a dead end road convenient to New Paltz and Kingston, this house, although constructed later, shares some features of mid-century design, especially in its flow. One of its several highlights is a custom-designed kitchen with hand-made cabinetry and double height ceiling, open to the sunny and generous dining area; another is a sun-splashed porch for a quick snack, drinks, or a quick game of whatever your pleasure; and yet another is the downstairs den a few steps up from a second living area for the thoughtful buyer. There are plenty of spots for outside enjoyment --patios, porches and decks -- and of course the inground saline pool. Although other houses may be in sight, the interior of the house itself is extremely private and the living spaces are generally oriented to the back with pond and substantial acreage that is its own nature preserve, out of sight of all else. Plenty of opportunity for nearby fishing, kayaking, hiking and all the great outside has to offer. But once you return to this home, this sanctuary, you will be hard-pressed to leave.
