Home Details for 474 Route 199

Welcome to NOOK architecturally designed. Perched gracefully atop a natural saddle in the land, this architecturally crafted residence embodies refined contemporary living in perfect harmony with its surrounding landscape. Designed with both beauty and purpose, the home integrates modern aesthetics with eco-conscious principles, creating a sanctuary that is as enduring as it is elegant. From the moment you step through the breezeway entry, you are met with a fluid transition between interior and exterior. Protected outdoor living spaces—including a covered patio, poolside walkway, and a second-floor roof balcony—invite year-round enjoyment. Massive window placements frame sweeping views of the site and the distant Catskill Mountains, inviting nature inward and blurring the boundaries between inside and out. At the heart of the home, a 60-foot lap pool runs parallel to the main structure, fully accessible through oversized glass sliders that dissolve the line between house and landscape. A suspended bio-ethanol fireplace creates a dramatic yet cozy focal point in the den, from soaring double-height living spaces to quiet, cocooned bedrooms—enhance the emotional texture of the home. The thoughtfully open floor plan eliminates closed hallways, favoring a dynamic spatial rhythm. Sliding doors offer flexibility, privacy, and uninterrupted view corridors. Upstairs, a gallery-style walkway connects the private zones, overlooking the main living area below. Culinary enthusiasts will revel in the large open kitchen, anchored by premium brand appliances and complemented by a discreet butler's pantry. Natural finishes—from wide white oak floorboards and cedar decking to wood-clad interior walls—imbue warmth and authenticity throughout. Large-format porcelain pavers grace the first floor, while European aluminum windows ensure durability and design integrity. The home's envelope features closed-cell spray insulation and is topped with a low-maintenance standing seam metal roof, underscoring its energy efficiency and long-term resilience. In keeping with the home's architectural ethos of harmony and restraint, the landscaping is a masterclass in subtlety and sophistication. Rather than impose upon the site, the design enhances the existing contours, celebrating the natural beauty of the surrounding topography. The result is a landscape that feels timeless—curated, yet wild; intentional, yet effortless. This over 9-acre estate is not only a sanctuary of design and landscape—it's also a rare opportunity for growth. With R3 zoning, the property allows for the construction of up to two additional structures. Whether you're imagining a guest house, a pool house, a studio, or a wellness retreat, the land offers both the space and the legal flexibility to create a multi-structure compound tailored to your lifestyle. Despite its feeling of serene seclusion, the property is ideally located for convenience and connection: This is a property where expansive possibility meets unparalleled location—a legacy setting just far enough away, yet remarkably close to everything.
