An exceptional 49 acre property only 5 minutes from Rhinebeck Village, offering a rare blend of privacy, space, architectural character and spectacular Hudson River and Catskill Mountain views. A long winding driveway leads up to the modern residence perched on a hillside overlooking the majestic grounds and sweeping west facing views of the horizon and stellar sunsets.
Designed by Kingston architect George Hutton in 1970, whose family owned the recently reinvented Hutton Brickyards, the home is beautifully simple and thoughtfully designed. The mid-century home retains many modern details while recently updated throughout including refinished hardwood floors, repainted interior and exterior plus an updated kitchen and baths.
Bathed in natural light, the home features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, an office, and an extra room upstairs. Enter into the light filled living area with walls of glass framing stunning views of the Hudson River and mountains beyond. Glass sliding doors open onto the seasonal sun room and the expansive deck, perfect for entertaining and catching sunsets year around. Photos don't quite do the views justice. A wood-burning brick fireplace separates the living and dining area. The updated kitchen, perfect for hosting, is complete with new Carrara marble countertops, an island with counter seating, updated stainless steel appliances including a Sub-Zero fridge, ample cabinetry and a walk-in pantry. The attached 2-car garage connects conveniently to the kitchen via a skylit mudroom.
Through a sunlit stairwell, upstairs you'll find the generous primary bedroom with ensuite bath, two more bedrooms, a second full bath, plenty of closet space and an extra fourth room. The upstairs baths feature clean lines, square ceramic tiles, updated chrome fixtures and new Carrara marble countertops. Across the driveway is a large workshop offering additional space with a covered patio and large deck.
Many improvements have been done including a new Carrier HVAC system, extensive site work, opening up the views, removing old trees, and grading and trenching the driveway to prevent wash out. The land has a pond site plus logging and carriage trails for outdoor enjoyment. There are complete engineering plans for a proposed subdivision to create two additional single family lots which has been presented to the Town of Rhinebeck. This stunning property offers an exceptional blend of style, space, privacy and views. Less than 2 hours to NYC, easy access to Amtrak and all of the amenities of the Hudson Valley.
