Hudson Valley Luxury Home Adjacent to Golf Course
This design of a Modern Farmhouse home recalls the nostalgia for calmer, simpler, yet dramatic forms and spaces. It is an innovative and unique, architect-designed residence, transcending the conventional, by combining the classic design of an American Farmhouse, fused with cutting edge urban style and details. The iconic forms employed, recall the classic shapes and textures of the farmhouse home in the upstate rural landscape: the image of the bucolic white house with twin gable roofs and crisp clean lines, glimpsed on a hill from a favorite country road.
It is designed for the sophisticated homeowner who loves the synthesis of the familiar and the appreciation of the home of discovery. This house defies the ordinary with a focus on green design and energy conservation, which makes for an efficient and beautiful, year-round or summer/weekend residence.
The house has a stunning, large living area with ceilings soaring to 28 ft, a large, floating, living room area, framed by a wood burning fireplace at one end, and the home entertainment center at the other end. A living room that flows out on to two majestic and strategically placed decks, which orient to the verdant fairways of an 18-hole golf course at one end, and the Shawangunk mountain range and flowing farm lands at the other end. These decks are designed for the homeowner who seeks to entertain large groups of friends and family, while at the same time providing a sense of privacy and intimacy.
An immense, seemingly-private, master suite is located away from the public spaces, with a huge walk-in closet and an oversized, compartmentalized, spa-like, master bath area, and it includes a separate shower area and a water-closet room. A Japanese-style soaking tub that is six foot in length is framed by his-and-her vanities, and soaked with natural, operable windows above.
The lowest level of this three story home includes a large, beautiful, fully-windowed, walk-out, family room with its own private, on-grade, bluestone terrace. The framed scenic view from this space, of the “Gunks” and the lawn area, is extremely appealing. Also located on this level is a separate, 250 sq. ft, private office or “nanny room,” with an adjacent, full bathroom. There is direct, on-grade access to the outside, providing it with its own entrance.
