95 Jersey Avenue

Description

Set on 1.6 private acres overlooking Greenwood Lake, directly bordering the Appalachian Trail and permanently protected state parkland, this nearly 5,920 SF modern residence feels suspended between civilization and nature. You are not just buying a home. You are securing protected views, mountain air, and privacy that cannot be taken away. Architect designed and architect built. Built to a standard, not a budget, and it shows. The architecture sets the tone immediately. Clean lines. A refined blend of metal and wood. Intentional design. Enter through a private mudroom and the scale unfolds. The main living space rises to ceilings nearing 30 feet, anchored by a dramatic double-height living and dining area framed by large-format, high-performance Wythe windows that capture the lake and mountain backdrop. Natural light floods the interior. European White Oak floors warm up the primary living areas, balancing the modern aesthetic. The open kitchen was designed for gathering, with a Bosch appliance package, exterior-vented hood, Sandy Shaker-style cabinetry by RTA, natural stone countertops and backsplashes, and contemporary Kohler fixtures flowing seamlessly into the entertaining spaces. An open loft overlooks the main level, complemented by a dedicated home office and a separate library or reading room, creating quiet retreats within an expansive layout. The primary suite feels restorative. A spa-inspired bath features large-format tile, a Kohler freestanding soaking tub, and a walk-in rain shower with ceiling-mounted head and linear drain. Natural stone counters, custom vanity cabinetry, integrated mirrored medicine cabinets, and layered lighting complete the space. Secondary baths carry the same elevated, durable finishes. The finished lower level offers flexible space for a gym, media room, bar, or lounge. Outside, nearly 2,000 square feet of decks and terraces extend the living areas outward, framing lake and parkland views with complete privacy. Here is what sets this home apart. It was built using Passive House principles, almost unheard of at this scale in the Hudson Valley. A high-performance envelope, Passive House-certified windows, advanced insulation, and precision air sealing mean the house holds its temperature, stays silent, and breathes clean. On-site solar drives a net-positive energy strategy, so the home is designed to produce more than it consumes. Thirty-foot ceilings and walls of glass normally come at the cost of comfort and efficiency. Here they do not. That is the achievement. A fully integrated Savant system controls lighting, HVAC, sound, security, and energy management from your phone. A private two-car garage, EV charging, dedicated laundry area, and thoughtful storage complete the functionality. Step out the back door and you are on the Appalachian Trail. Warwick is one of a handful of designated Appalachian Trail Communities in New York, with Fitzgerald Falls a half mile off and ridge views looking straight down over the lake. Greenwood Lake runs 7 miles across 1,920 acres and spans two states, the largest motorboat lake in Orange County, with marinas, waterfront dining, and a public park for swimming and paddleboarding. Mount Peter Ski Area, Sterling Forest State Park, and Bellvale Farms Creamery are all minutes away. Warwick village, with its orchards, wineries, and Applefest every fall, is 13 minutes. Manhattan is 46.5 miles, about an hour and five minutes door to door, with hourly NJ Transit service into Port Authority if you would rather not drive. What defines 95 Jersey Ave is not just its size or its finishes. It is the experience of living inside architecture that respects its setting, opening to Greenwood Lake on one side and permanently protected land on the other, in a home engineered to perform for the next fifty years. Four seasons, two states, one hour from the city, and the Appalachian Trail running through your backyard.
