Tucked away at the end of a long, secluded driveway off a quiet country road, this elegant contemporary home offers an unparalleled connection with nature. Imagine waking up to the gentle sounds of the Middle Mongaup River flowing through your park-like 5+ acre property, where a perfect blend of evergreen and deciduous trees creates a private oasis. A recently planted Japanese garden graces the front, offering a serene welcome to this special property. Thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light, the home boasts an expansive open concept living space featuring a dramatic wall of windows that frames breathtaking views, soaring cathedral ceilings that amplify the sense of space, and a fabulous fieldstone fireplace that serves as a cozy focal point. Three sets of French doors seamlessly connect the indoors with the outdoors, leading to an expansive stone terrace complete with a relaxing hot tub overlooking the tranquil spring-fed swimming pond. The subtle architecture allows this thoughtfully designed three-level home to effortlessly integrate with the rolling hillside and beautiful natural rock outcroppings, creating a truly harmonious and private retreat. Inside, the dramatic cathedral ceilings and an abundance of natural light stream in through the windows. From the entry balcony, a flagstone staircase leads you down to the open concept living and dining area, a space that effortlessly lends itself to entertaining. The compact yet fully equipped kitchen exudes a midcentury modern vibe and is perfectly situated for serving up delicious meals. Outside, step down stone stairs to explore the grounds, take a refreshing dip in the spring-fed swimming pond, or enjoy a peaceful paddle around the water on your kayak. Venture to the far end of the property and discover a serene riverside retreat, where you can sit and listen to the peaceful melody of the flowing water. Back inside, find cozy comfort in the versatile media/reading room, alongside the living area and thoughtfully set up by the sellers for memorable movie nights. The four bedrooms spread throughout the home are lovely spaces with two of the bedrooms equipped with ensuite bathrooms. The primary bedroom features high ceilings, doors to the stone terrace, a wood-burning fireplace, and a generous walk-in closet. Bathrooms have been designed with beautiful marble or stone and custom fixtures. A practical laundry room with a large sink and ample storage closets in a hallway is conveniently located on the main level and a heated 2-car garage with a handy attached mudroom is perfect for managing outdoor gear. Aden Pond House would be ideal as a full-time residence offering tranquility and privacy, a weekend getaway to escape the city, or as an investment property for those willing to share it.
