Perched high on 5.32 private acres with breathtaking, distant panoramic views of the Taconic Range and Berkshire Mountains, this contemporary home has been completely transformed by a top-to-bottom renovation. Seamlessly blending chic modern upgrades with dramatic architectural bones, this turn-key residence offers utmost privacy on a scenic country lane, yet still provides incredible convenience; located just minutes from the Taconic State Parkway, less than 10 minutes to Pine Plains, and a 20-minute drive in either direction to Rhinebeck and Millerton. Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet, the residence unfolds across a light-filled, open-concept floor plan designed to celebrate its extraordinary setting. The dramatic great room serves as the heart of the home, anchored by soaring vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling exposed brick feature wall, and a wood-burning stove. Expansive walls of glass frame the surrounding landscape and open seamlessly to a generous entertaining deck, creating a natural extension of the living space and capturing breathtaking mountain views in every season. The beautifully appointed kitchen combines timeless design with modern functionality, featuring custom shaker cabinetry, a substantial center island, quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Adjacent living and dining spaces flow effortlessly, creating an ideal environment for both intimate gatherings and larger-scale entertaining. The main level is anchored by a private primary suite with a walk-in closet and direct access to the deck, offering a serene connection to the surrounding landscape. A dedicated office, laundry and pantry room, and powder room complete the floor. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, a flex space, and two renovated baths are arranged around a dramatic overlook to the great room below, while a secret bonus space offers endless possibilities as a fitness studio, media room, playroom, or additional office. Beyond the cosmetic artistry, the property features a comprehensive utility overhaul engineered for modern reliability and comfort. The home's infrastructure is anchored by a high-efficiency dual-zone Carrier climate control system with central air and heat pumps, an energy-saving ventilation system, and a robust 200-amp electrical setup backed by a 20KW Kohler standby generator. Pristine water quality is guaranteed by a multi-stage filtration system including UV purification and advanced reverse osmosis lines, while a smart home network of eero mesh Wi-Fi, hardwired Cat 6 connections, Ring cameras, and Nest smart detectors delivers ultimate peace of mind.
