Midcentury Modern Cabin Home in the Woods- Under 2 Hrs From NYC!

Welcome to your architectural Midcentury Modern oasis in the woods. This unique home with cathedral ceilings was built by an architect in 1960 for his personal use and makes for the ideal mountain getaway. A dramatic wall of windows overlooks the woods of the Shawangunk Mountains with striking ice-age sandstone and shale boulders throughout the property. Enjoy your coffee, scenery, and tranquility in the vaulted living room or on the upper balcony off the bedroom, the architect’s own private retreat. Hidden from the road, the house is a cedar and teak construction both inside and out set among four private acres of woods and rock outcroppings. It features:• Two spacious bedrooms with king size beds, one of which is a loft facing the front wall of windows.• A third spacious sleeping/media room down on the lower level with pullout couch and futon, both for sleeping.• Three full bathrooms.• A modern, open plan kitchen with a dishwasher.• A large dining alcove surrounded by ship-like windows with views to the surrounding forest.• An immense stone fireplace perfect for a fire on cold and winter nights.The crowning jewel is the vaulted living room which is centered around the elongated fireplace and soaring rows of windows which allow light in from the south and west.
