Custom built in 2000, this post and beam home is the perfect marriage of Upstate charm and a modern dream. Spanning over 4000 square feet spread out across three floors, the property includes four bedrooms (with a flexible fifth!), three bathrooms, bonus living space and a home gym. It sits on 11+ acres of manicured grounds and surrounding forest that offer superb privacy. These are just a few of the amazing attributes of this home. Arriving at 215 Sheldon Dr. , you are immediately taken by the charm of the property. The house has a handsome exterior with rich dark tones that blend perfectly into the surrounding landscape. Don’t be deceived by the charming exterior - inside you’ll be impressed by the grand scale of the home. First, enjoy the proper entryway with storage and room to leave behind the day’s belongings. Passing through you will be drawn to the high ceilings, beautiful custom post and beam work throughout, and the stunning amount of natural light that floods in through sweeping windows. The kitchen was renovated by the current owners and is the focal point of the living quarters. Custom charcoal cabinetry is beautifully paired with contrasting white quartz countertops. The kitchen is outfitted with tremendous storage, ample counter space for prep work, stainless steel Bosch & GE Cafe appliances, and an island bar to entertain your guests. The kitchen overlooks the living room which is surrounded by oversized windows and glass doors that provide lush green views of the property. The setting ensures you feel tucked away in the woods, while bathing in natural light throughout the day. A commanding stone fireplace anchors the living room and creates a cozy place to join with loved ones on cool evenings. Opposite the kitchen/living is a proper dining space for those who love to host meals for a large group. The first floor includes a primary bedroom featuring an en suite bath. There are two additional bedrooms (one with its own loft), a second full bathroom and a separate laundry room/mudroom. The laundry room/mudroom features a slop sink, ample closet space, and a powder room. Moving upstairs you’ll love the open loft space hovering above the living and dining areas. Currently arranged as a secondary living area, this loft can serve a multitude of functions. Keep it a second living area or create a home office - the options are endless. Off the loft is yet another bedroom, the fourth in the house. All of the bedrooms in the home comfortably fit queen or king sized beds. Passing down to the bottom floor, you’ll find a large open living space outfitted with a secondary wet bar/kitchen. This floor has direct access to the yard, endless storage, and yet another bedroom, the fifth in the house. The lower level is currently used as additional living and entertainment space. It includes a full living room setup and a separate game area (including a pool table!). This is a terrific space to gather and create memories with friends, or for extended family and kids to enjoy. Throughout, the house is heated with radiant underfloor heating and cooled with split AC units. Outside the house, you’ll be impressed with the expansive exotic hardwood deck. The deck creates an extension of the living quarters and offers room for a formal dining area, grilling, as well as gardening. Place out your lounge chairs and take in the direct sunlight all summer long overlooking the lawn. In the evenings enjoy star-filled skies from the large hot tub that is perfectly situated on the deck. The grounds of the property offer substantial room for a pool in any of multiple locations depending on your preference. Finishing off this exceptional property is a completely fenced in sport court featuring a multi-use basketball/tennis/volleyball court, large fire pit, and additional play area. Electricity has been run out to this site for full nighttime usage. Located two hours from NYC and a short distance to other great local towns. Welcome
