A first-floor bedroom and full bath offer convenience, while the upper bedroom and bath provide a private retreat beneath gentle eaves.Across the lawn, a detached two-car garage leads to a stunning great room, originally designed as an artist’s studio. Sunlight pours through three walls of windows, highlighting cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, a brick fireplace framed in detailed millwork, and granite tile floors that shimmer in the changing light. Built-in bookcases define the entryway with quiet elegance, while a full bath designed for accessibility adds comfort and versatility.Above the garage lies a loft-like open area, unfinished yet full of character, ready to serve as generous storage or a blank canvas for the imagination.The property sits essentially on the Wingdale, NY/Sherman, CT border, an area known for its sweeping natural beauty and multiple protected lands.
