Octagon Tree House: Rock Hill, NY

About The Property

Surrounded by trees and birdsong, this octagon home feels like you’re living in your very own treehouse nest.

Huge, recently replaced windows allow in ample light and make a show out of the feeding birds. Built using a steel-supported cantilevered system, the home has an unmistakable mid-century feel. The design allows the home to feel open and airy, with vaulted ceilings on the upper floor.

The renovated kitchen has stainless appliances including a Bertazzoni gas range. A skylight illuminates the living/dining area. Two sliding doors lead to different areas on the wrap around deck, one to a cozy hangout with a hanging chair. The floor to ceiling windows allow dappled sunlight into the home. There are two bathrooms, one off the main living area and the other in the primary bedroom. Both have single piece molded plastic. The primary bath has a round Japanese-inspired soaking tub.

The spiral staircase leads one to a den or office area. Again, the oversized windows allowing in tons of natural light. This is a great entreating space, home office or a place to Netflix and chill. The sliding door leads to a patio with chairs, another sweet spot to hang out outside and watch the trees gently swaying in the summer breeze.

The house sits on a double lot in the lake community of Emerald Green. Amenities include three lakes, a swimming pool, tennis courts, a gym, boating and more. Located only 90 minutes from the GW Bridge or 20 minutes from the Middletown train station.
