Tucked away on over 24 acres of wooded privacy with tranquil water views overlooking a private pond, this one of a kind, custom crafted, meticulously updated three bedroom, 2 1/2 bath rustic ranch that feels like a weekend getaway throughout all four seasons. Step inside to a sun filled open floor plan with newly refinished maple hardwood floors, the large dining/ living area is completed with exposed wood beams/ceiling, a large stone fireplace and extra-large windows that offer a great panorama of the pond and woods beyond. This large room also opens up to the magnificent rear deck that runs the width of the entire home. The custom kitchen with brand new silestone quartz countertops, a chef's work/entertainment island, new appliances and an expansive walk-in pantry work that is perfect for families and entertainers alike. Every detail has been thoughtfully imagined and integrated. The spacious primary suite boasts a stone fireplace, a large walk-in closet, built-in dressers and cabinets, a private en-suite bathroom and offers beautiful views of the pond through extra-large windows. In addition, a covered porch is accessed off this main bedroom. Two other bedrooms are also dynamic in their own designed way and could easily be used for guests, a home office or a secondary den. One of these versatile rooms opens onto the expansive, waterside deck that overlooks the 6 1/2 acre private pond, contains a massive outdoor fireplace (the third one as part of this residence) and has plenty of room to relax, entertain and enjoy the wildlife. Additional features of the residence include a dedicated laundry room, central heat/air and detached shed/garage offer additional conveniences. This unique, rustic and private sanctuary is located in the much sought after Arlington school district and has a drive time of about an hour and 15 minutes to/from Midtown Manhattan- depending on the time of day. Convenient to Millbrook, Pleasant Valley and the LaGrange Town Center, this property is only a stone's throw from the Taconic State Parkway, being five minutes north of Route 55, and is only a short drive to many grocery stores, shopping opportunities and local dining establishments. That said, it is both conveniently located and remote in its bucolic and private setting.
