100 Stoll Rd, Saugerties, NY 12477

I call this a truly special, private retreat just 10 minutes to either Woodstock or Saugerties. It's even been a recent get away for a current Oscar nominee who craved time for thinking & inspiration while enjoying this light & airy hideaway. You'll find big views of Catskill forest through 12 foot tall fixed windows as well as 3 sets of sliding glass doors opening to outdoor living on two sides of the house. On the second floor there are not only skylights but a tasteful, glorious large arched window viewing the treetops & heavens. Custom rounded walls and even a sleeping loft plus a bright, large master-bath enhance this second story suite. On one end of the spacious room is a high, lovely, sunny balcony with a circular architectural railing great for daytime relaxing & star watching any night. The 2014 updated kitchen includes a Viking stove, Asko dishwasher and pantry and a dutchdoor to the lawn insuring fresh air, views & evermore light! Two exterior seating areas accessed from the living & kitchen areas include a south facing front wood deck and a sweet, classic stone patio with rounded bluestone steps facing east & the woodland valley below the house. The homes passive solar design invites the sun in during winter days while gorgeous tall hemlocks shade much of the house during summers heat. Radiant heat contributes to making winter a charm while central air insures comfort on the occasional hot humid summer day. Rolling lawns are alive with sun, perfect for gardens & play and contrast the woodsy side of the property. It is here that you'll find an above ground saline heated pool with a comfortable designed deck. At the far end of the lawns there is a quality garden-shed & minibarn. The house is accessed via a newly paved driveway and, as a result of perfect siting even at night no other lights intrude on this secluded paradise.
