The culmination of the dream of two architects from the firm of Brooks & Falotico who were inspired by the majestic hilltop vista to design a modern farmhouse retreat, simultaneously clean, contemporary, warm and healing, as a place to entertain family and friends. The compound sits high on a ridge at one of the highest points in CT, centered around a spectacular 60-mile view west and south, the ultimate perch to watch 4th of July firework displays from Manhattan all the way up the Hudson River. The main house is 6,743 sf with 5 BR, 4/2 BA, as well as a sound-isolated theater with 8 reclining leather seats and an 11-foot screen. The large great room with its modern granite fplc and concealed TV opens onto a contemporary cook’s kitchen with a polished white concrete island and Belgium blue-stone countertops. The great room and bar open up to a covered porch with a fplc and gravel terraces. The MBR suite has 2 customized WIC and spa like bath with large soaking tub and walk-in rain shower; each guest BR has an en-suite bath; plus the 3rd floor office offers unparalleled balcony views. The property also includes the "Gate House - a legal rental cottage (914 sf, 1 BR/1BA); "Art Studio" (898 sf, fplc, BA); beautiful lawns; massive stone walls and steps; bocce court; irrigated vegetable garden; as well as 2-1/2 acres of meadow with direct entrance to public hiking trails. Price includes $200K allowance towards custom pool installation with photos provided for visualization only.
The house has a sustainable geothermal heating and cooling system, LED lighting, lighting control, automatic shades, and an integrated audio/video system, all of which can be controlled remotely. There are 8”, bleached-oak floors and designer light fixtures throughout. Bleached oak panels conceal the refrigerator, freezer and other appliances. The first-floor features floor to ceiling nine-foot-tall windows and folding doors with concealed rolling screens, which face a spectacular view of Connecticut and the Hudson Valley to the west and the towers of New York City to the south. Also on the first floor are a walk-in food pantry, kitchen office and wet bar. *************** Main House HEATED – 6,743 SF GARAGE – 775 SF COVERED PORCHES – 728 SF*** Gate House – Legal Rental HEATED – 914 SF One bedroom, one bath*** Art Studio HEATED – 898 SF One bathroom Fireplace*** Geothermal heating and cooling* LED lightning* Lighting control system* Automatic Shades* Integrated audio/video* Designer light fixtures**** Great Room* 10’-6” Ceilings* 9 foot windows and doors* Wide plank bleached oak floors* Fireplace – Threnched granite surround and hearth*** Kitchen* 6’x6’ Island with one-piece polished white concrete counter* Belgium bluestone perimeter counters* Walk in food pantry* Covered Porch*** Bluestone floor* Fireplace*** Theater – brand new* 11 foot screen* 8 reclining leather seats*
