Claverack, NY 12534

Enjoy the summer in this beautiful mid-century home high on a hill with expansive Catskill views, 10 minutes to Hudson. Originally built in 1957, to the highest standards, this completely updated home has been stylishly renovated and furnished by the new owner (a prominent professional design expert) using the best interpretation of mid-century modern style. Located high above a quiet country road, chosen for outstanding Catskill views and overlooking open farm fields bordered by hedge rows with mature trees, the home’s new energy-efficient windows have been strategically expanded to bring inside the spectacular outside views. The original core living room, kitchen and den of the house have been combined to a huge open space around the spectacular wood-burning fireplace with floor-to-ceiling windows to the west, a huge central kitchen island and breakfast area behind the fireplace. All walls, ceilings, doors, windows have been refurbished with bright, clean, sleek surfaces and the original oak floors were restored in all the rooms. The primary bedroom with fresh, modern ensuite bath has the vast westerly view, while the two guest bedrooms share another modern bathroom and have south and east views of the surrounding woods and fields. On the lower level are storage and playrooms, complete with ping pong and foosball tables, a long wall of bookshelves, and the utility room with up-to date equipment, including water filters, geothermal energy and air exchange systems that provide sustainable clean and healthy heating and cooling. Set on five quiet and private acres, yet only 10 minutes to thriving Hudson with restaurants, shops, and galleries, as well as Amtrak. Two hours NYC. Available Memorial Day to Labor Day. Shorter period considered.
