Description

CEDAR HILL - A HOUSE for all SEASONS Bathed in sunlight, this graceful architectural masterwork is perfectly sited on ten private acres with awe-inspiring panoramic southern mountain views stretching endlessly, offering an ever-changing magical canvas of light and landscape. A home for all seasons, this newly re-built and expanded cedar house stands as if it rose from the landscape. A porte co-chere and formal entry welcome you to a dramatic, sun-drenched living space where serenity meets sophistication. Impressive for entertaining or just for quiet reflection, the soaring ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, and walls of glass showcase each season's magic. Breathtaking views unfold throughout the home's effortless flow between interior comfort and nature's beauty. The house, wrapped to the south, east and west with 3000 sf of blue-stone patios, supports a fire pit, open-air or covered dining, around the pool, and endless lounging areas. At the heart of the home, an expansive modern kitchen - with butler's pantry - opens to gracious dining and a separate living area centered around a second wood-burning fireplace. A continued wall of glass doors opens to the sweeping bluestone patios; an invitation to dine under the stars with fresh organics from the garden or savor quiet morning light. Also on the main floor is the spacious entertainment / game room that opens to a grand covered patio overlooking the heated 50 x 17 gunite pool with built-in hot tub. The truly extraordinary mudroom with main level laundry and great storage is a dream entered via your second entrance, found through an impressive architecturally beautiful breezeway. Across the breezeway you will find the separately housed spa, with stainless custom hot tub, cedar sauna, shower and bath, an indoor lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows capturing the south views and west views to the floodlit Dura-Ace tennis court. The sleeping quarters include a main-floor bedroom and full bath, a second-floor primary suite with sweeping views and expansive glass doors for continued indoor-outdoor interaction with a glass-walled deck. Four additional bedrooms (or flex spaces), full bath, laundry and another room - ideal for gym, studio, office or den - overlooking the main living space, or closed for privacy with a huge deck of its own, complete the second floor. Throughout the home, you will find the finest of finishes and high-end systems for comfort and efficiency. There is a whole-house grid-connected solar system and multiple electric car-charging stations.. The radiant-heated three-car garage with ample storage and work space is a dream convenience. This idyllic property is ideally located for access to all the Hudson Valley and Berkshires have to offer. Whether your passions are hiking, skiing, biking, art, shopping, yoga, theatre, or indulging in farm-to-table markets and celebrated gems or just relaxing, this rare offering in historic Old Chatham surrounded by New York's most scenic and storied countryside, Cedar Hill is the perfect home for your adventures and memories
