Description

SUMMIT SANCTUARY: Discover complete and utter tranquility in this very private jewel of a Modern Weekend Getaway nestled against the Catskill Mountains in highly sought-after Kerhonkson. The earthy touches of wood and plaster finishes mixed with expansive glass windows to take in the views of forest and distant mountains is truly unparalleled. Energy efficiency was the owner’s intention with passive solar gain as well. The light, bright chef’s kitchen ideal for entertaining faces due east with a generous island, Thermador appliances, ample storage and flows into an intimate dining area inside as well as a beautiful bluestone patio outside affording seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. Radiant heated floors throughout the kitchen, entry and powder room. Six generously wide steps flow up to the spacious living room with dramatically high ceilings, large glass windows with Catskill views, a well-designed wood stove with lower wood storage and library corner with a built in custom bookcase. A beautifully crafted custom railing made of cedar leads to the second floor with a primary en suite bedroom with a soaking tub, generous steam shower encrusted with watery blue green Zellige tile, a double sink vanity, heated tile floors and ample room for plants. A secondary en suite bedroom has a whimsical yellow tiled shower. The hero of the upper level is its highest elevation: an expansive sunny deck that is accessed by steps from the primary bedroom or the second floor hallway. Coffee in the morning or cocktails in the evening to take in the tree top breezes and mountain views. The finished basement (with radiant heat as well) is accessed from the main entry and can be a very ’’away’’ flex space: home office, media room or guest quarters. The special addition to this wonderful residence is a renovated airstream set away from the house and accessed by a sweet little woodland path. The airstream also has its own driveway off the main driveway far from the main house. It comes complete with an outdoor shower, electricity, fire pit and grill area. Perfect for overflow guests that would enjoy a complete glamping experience on Camp Adventure Road which is a rather short dead-end road... so one can literally hear a pin drop. The popular destinations of Ravenwood, Arrowood Brewery and West Wind Orchard are minutes away. There is more private neighborhood access to Vernoykill Falls and endless trails, a short hike away on NYS land. Amenities not far: Tetta’s for provisions, wood fired pizza as well as gas! The Ashokan Reservoir promenade is a popular destination for walking/biking with views of the Catskills reflected in the vast expanse of water. Belleayre Ski area is a 45 minute drive north. Come view this truly rare offering minutes to fine dining, music, Kingston/Woodstock art scene and skiing yet one feels very removed from the maddening crowd and surrounded by the healing powers of the natural world. OPEN HOUSE: Saturday, October 11th from 12:00pm-3:00pm.
