About The Property

Custom-built in 2022 by a trusted local builder, this is a house put together with real materials and real care at a level of quality that buyers don't often find. The stylish, modern design carries through every room. Spaces feel generous, the finishes au courant.

A covered porch and a bluestone foyer welcome you in. A bench offers a convenient place to remove shoes, and a large coat closet stands by. Entering the main living area, one takes in everything that makes this such a great home. The ceiling peaks at over 18', and windows up high let in loads of light. The living, dining, and kitchen areas flow together in a way that feels both connected and separate. A propane fireplace, finished in brick, rises the full height of the peaked ceiling. Solid oak floors run through the two upper levels, and Andersen casement windows with divided panes elevate the aesthetic throughout. A lovely stairway leads up to two of the bedrooms. Either set of sliding glass doors opens to the back deck, which overlooks the fire pit and the 6.7 acres beyond.

The kitchen is chef worthy. Granite counters work so well with the classic brick backsplash and white shaker-style cabinets. A glass-door pantry is elegant and uber practical. The propane cooktop has a vented hood, and the double wall-mounted oven/microwave/convection combo is multi-talented. The island offers additional storage beneath, including a wine rack, and a triad of high-top chairs fits easily on the overhang side. The terracotta tile is as timeless as a delicious home-cooked meal.

The dining area sits elegantly in its own alcove. A table seats six, easy breezy, and a schoolhouse-style chandelier is just the right touch — a near-perfect setup for entertaining. A powder room off the hallway is handy on evenings with friends.

The primary suite is conveniently on the ground floor. The huge bedroom can easily accommodate a California king. Windows bring in light when you want it. Walk through the closet, with plenty of room for two wardrobes, to reach the deluxe primary bath. The glass-door shower has a rain head, the double vanity offers ample storage, and the deep soaking tub will restore a weary soul year-round.

Upstairs, a generous landing offers room for a desk or reading nook. Both bedrooms are well-sized, each with its own closet. They share a nicely designed bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower/tub and a double vanity. The washer/dryer tucks into the double hall closet on the landing.

We aren't done yet. The finished lower level adds another ~1,200 sq ft to spread out in. Just down the stairs is an office for the remote worker, or for overflow sleeping. A den with a big TV is the perfect place to watch a movie, with room left over for a play space.

The two-car garage is a recent build. It measures over 780 sq ft, is fully insulated and climate-controlled, and offers plenty of room for a pair of cars and a gym area. An automatic whole-house generator was also added.

Located just one minute away from Hickok Brook, a lake for fishing or paddleboarding, and walking trails. Barryville is just a two-minute drive. The town of Eldred, home to amazing sushi at Tokyo Drift and an amazing hydroponic produce market at Monteleone Gardens, is 5 minutes away. The wonderful Homestead School is 7 minutes.
