This stunning open plan waterfront sanctuary must be seen! Forward-thinking architecture connects a series of octagons (pods) with sunlit galleries to create a central gathering space and more private quarters. The central pod or lodge is a great room constructed around a majestic granite chimney. Opposing walls of glass capture river views. Here, you'll find a living, dining and family room each with a fireplace. Built ins, a secreted wet bar and walls of glass offer Lieutenant River views and southeast light. A sleek, Scandinavian-style kitchen offers a fourth fireplace. Bluestone terraces invite guests out doors to the pool complex, octagonal screen house and dock with water and power. A master suite is located at the southern end complete with fifth fireplace. Three additional bedroom suites offer beautiful private guest quarters. One of these lends to a perfect in law suite. The coup de gras is the "crow's nest," a grand office located atop a private stairwell. Each area offers state of the art mechanicals for ultimate climate control. Repetitive themes of high, beamed ceilings and stone blend with a grand stone entry, patios and softened by a beautifully landscaped palette of evergreen and perennials. The landscape dips gently to the river for easy access. A cantilevered deck joins a floating dock to easily accommodate a Shelter-Island style cruiser. Simply perfect. This is a one of a kind treasure. Incredible mechanicals. Simply perfect. 2 hours from NY.
