On a quiet country road in Ghent sits this light-filled 4BD, 4BA, 3,600 sf modern home with bucolic views from every window. Redesigned and slow renovated inside & out by a master craftsman builder, the house was transformed to reflect beauty in form and practicality in function. New standing seam metal roof, Marvin windows, reclaimed white oak floors, and all new top-of-the-line appliances, systems and fixtures are among the significant upgrades. The heart of the home is the inviting & open living area and kitchen-- designed for a chef who loves to entertain. The landscape was reimagined with native plantings that attract butterflies & hummingbirds, a fenced organic veggie garden, and beautiful, no-fuss perennials. The current owners have managed to create multiple, very private sitting areas outside for enjoying the magical sunsets over the Catskills. A significant portion of the energy used is renewable supplied by solar panels. 2hr 15m from NYC, 10m to Hudson and Chatham.
