Description
Styled as a collection of vintage farm buildings, this exceptional home with pastoral views was fashioned by Keith Hone, AIA, to blend seamlessly into the historic Oldwick village countryside in a bucolic, retreat-like setting nestled between a large private estate and over 180 acres of preserved land. Exposed post-and-beam construction references the regional vernacular architecture and large picture windows connect the inside spaces to outside spaces including breathtaking 360-degree views as well as near views over perennial gardens, hayfields, and the home's landscaped in-ground lap pool landscaped with perennial grasses. Architecturally-distinctive and elegant in its simplicity, the home has a flexible, open floorplan suitable for different living arrangements. In addition to two bedrooms on the second floor each with its own en suite bathroom, as life evolves in the home, different living arrangements can be found for the first floor bedroom with en suite bathroom, an unfinished basement suitable for use as a workshop or, if finished, for more living space, and a carriage house (styled as a silo and also serving as the poolhouse) with full bathroom, 2 finished rooms and a storage attic. Currently farm assessed (hay production) to keep taxes low. Easy access to NYC makes the home perfect as a second home or for anyone requiring access to commuting roads.
