A Residence Where Architecture, Craftsmanship, and Lifestyle Converge
An Arrival Designed as an Experience
From the moment you step through the front door, this home announces itself with confidence and architectural intention. A soaring two-story foyer greets you, centered on a beautifully crafted staircase directly ahead—wrapped in raised-panel millwork, finished with wrought-iron balusters, and crowned with a refined oak handrail. It is not simply a means of moving between floors; it is the architectural backbone of the home, anchoring the entire main level with elegance and presence.
A Foyer That Directs and Reveals
Standing in the foyer, the home unfolds with clarity and purpose.
To the left, the formal living room offers a refined retreat, warmed by one of the home’s two gas fireplaces and layered with rich millwork and natural light.
To the right, the formal dining room sits immediately off the foyer, sharing a wall with the staircase and introduced without elevation—an elegant, direct connection that reinforces the home’s thoughtful symmetry.
Straight ahead, the staircase becomes part of a striking architectural sequence. Just before entering the dining room, three well-proportioned steps rise to a transitional landing beside the staircase. From this landing, the circulation unfolds in two directions:
upward, as the stair continues to the private bedroom level, and
downward, where a gentle step leads you directly and immediately into the great room.
There is no lingering hallway, no delay—by design, the great room reveals itself in full scale the moment you descend.
The Living Room: Intimate Elegance & Sunset Views
The formal living room, positioned to the left of the foyer, is a space equally suited to quiet moments and gracious entertaining. A gas fireplace, framed in custom classical millwork, anchors the room, while oversized windows flood the space with natural light.
From here, a door opens to the covered porch, a sheltered outdoor retreat where stunning west-facing sunsets become part of daily life—an ideal setting for evening unwinding or informal gatherings in every season.
Dining Room: Timeless Craftsmanship
Immediately to the right of the foyer, the dining room commands attention through craftsmanship rather than excess. Details include:
A coffered ceiling with layered beams and crown-inset accents
Raised-panel wainscoting wrapping the room
Oversized casings and deep crown molding
Rich hardwood floors with custom inlaid borders
The room feels formal yet welcoming—a space designed for holidays, celebrations, and memorable dinners alike.
The Reveal: A Great Room That Commands Attention
Descending from the landing delivers you straight into the heart of the home: a dramatic two-story great room defined by volume, light, and architectural balance. Walls of transomed and arched windows bring the outdoors in, while the second gas fireplace, framed by an elegant sculpted mantle, grounds the scale with warmth and comfort.
Above, an open lofted sitting area overlooks the space, reinforcing the grandeur while offering flexibility for reading, work, or relaxation.
Kitchen, Butler’s Pantry & Entertaining Flow
Open to the great room on the right, the kitchen blends performance with warmth. Cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and a generous island create an inviting environment for everyday living and entertaining. Premium appliances include a Dacor gas range, GE Profile microwave, and an integrated Paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator for a seamless finish.
Between the kitchen and dining room, the butler’s pantry enhances both form and function with:
A dedicated coffee station
Wine bar with beverage refrigeration
Granite service surfaces
Glass-front cabinetry and additional storage
Just beyond the kitchen, an uncovered deck extends the living space outdoors—perfect for grilling, alfresco dining, and relaxed gatherings under open skies.
A Secondary Path: Hallway, Powder Room & Office
A parallel hallway running beside the living room provides a second approach to the great room, enhancing flow and privacy. Along this corridor:
A well-placed powder room sits to the right
A private first-floor office on the left offers a quiet, light-filled workspace with classic millwork and separation from main entertaining areas
Both paths converge at the great room, reinforcing the home’s thoughtful circulation.
Primary Suite: A True Private Retreat
Upstairs, the primary suite is a sanctuary of light, space, and refined detail. A striking Palladian-inspired fanlight window with sunburst muntins crowns the room, creating a focal point both architectural and serene. The suite accommodates a sitting area and offers four closets—two walk-ins and two additional wardrobe closets—providing exceptional storage.
The spa-inspired ensuite bath includes:
An oversized walk-in shower with dual showerheads and body sprays
Built-in stone bench
Floor-to-ceiling natural stone tile
Decorative inlays
Dual granite vanities
A deep whirlpool soaking tub, ideal for unwinding and relaxation
Upper-Level Living: Bedrooms, Jack & Jill & Loft
Three additional bedrooms offer generous accommodations, including a thoughtfully designed Jack-and-Jill suite. The open loft overlooking the great room provides flexible space for study, lounging, or additional work-from-home needs.
Mudroom, Secondary Staircase & Practical Luxury
The custom mudroom elevates daily life with built-in cabinetry, open shelving, bench seating, and a premium live-edge hardwood countertop—a rare artisan detail. A charming architectural oval window fills the space with natural light.
Discreetly located within the mudroom is a secondary staircase providing direct access to the upper-level hallway just outside the primary suite—a highly desirable and uncommon feature that enhances privacy, convenience, and everyday flow.
The oversized garage also includes a direct-access staircase to the basement, reinforcing the home’s intelligent and purposeful design.
Mechanical Excellence Behind the Scenes
Comfort and performance are supported by robust infrastructure:
Crown multi-zone hydronic heating system
Two high-capacity hot water heaters
Twin Well-X-Trol pressure tanks
Culligan whole-home water softening and filtration system
Dual full-size electrical panels
Budd central vacuum system
Hunter irrigation controller
These systems reflect long-term thinking, durability, and quality construction.
A Four-Season Luxury Lifestyle
Ideally positioned near Crystal Springs Resort, residents enjoy access to six championship golf courses, award-winning dining at Restaurant Latour, world-class spa amenities, and the iconic Biosphere tropical pool. Mountain Creek offers year-round recreation, while nearby Warwick Valley, local wineries, state parks, and the Appalachian Trail complete a lifestyle defined by beauty, wellness, and adventure.

Thoughtful Updates & Design Enhancements
Throughout the home, upgrades reflect a refined aesthetic paired with everyday functionality. The kitchen and entertaining spaces were elevated with champagne brass accents, a dual-zone French-door beverage center, and a refreshed bar area with a new faucet, updated matte black and champagne brass hardware, and a new chandelier—creating natural gathering points for both intimate evenings and larger celebrations.
Lighting was thoughtfully layered across the formal dining and living rooms, including new chandeliers and sconces that add warmth and architectural interest. The entry was enhanced with a Restoration Hardware chandelier, a custom medallion, and a Benjamin Moore Dried Thyme front door. Smart-home convenience begins with an ADT-connected programmable entry system.
The entire interior was repainted using premium Benjamin Moore Aura paint. Custom interior shutters and wood blinds with cornices enhance both energy efficiency and privacy, while contributing to the home’s tailored aesthetic.
The primary bathroom received new vanity lighting, a bubble-glass globe chandelier, and updated brushed brass and chrome hardware including handles, pulls, towel bars, robe hooks, and facecloth bars. The first-floor powder room was refreshed in Summer 2024 with new paint, lighting, a quartzite countertop and sink, brushed brass faucet and hardware, and an updated mirror.
The laundry and mudroom underwent a comprehensive $30,000 renovation in Summer 2024 that replaced the original builder-grade cabinetry with custom storage. Additional enhancements include a live-edge folding counter, integrated clothing rack, bench seating, and a Samsung Bespoke steam washer and dryer—transforming a functional space into one that feels intentional, efficient, and beautifully finished.
Behind the scenes, meaningful investments include new well holding tanks installed in Summer 2025 and a Culligan whole-house water filtration system featuring dual filters and a salt system.
The exterior received a full update in Summer 2024 including custom wood shutters, eight new exterior lights, updated house numbers, copper-style gutters, and professionally designed landscape lighting—a $25,000 investment. A hummingbird and butterfly garden was added in Summer 2025, further enhancing the serenity of the outdoor living spaces. The driveway has been cared for with bi-annual seal coating, and a full topcoat repaving was completed in Summer 2023.
