The Overlook is one of the finest examples of private, luxe, sustainable living that one can find in The Hudson Valley. Style and functionality merge beautifully in this brand new 4 bd / 4 ba, 3600 sf, fully automated smart home. This is a true contemporary oasis nestled among a secluded 25+ lush acres featuring a private 1/3 mile driveway, forest trails, and a 20-foot deep swimming pond.
The modern, open layout is bright and airy with generous picture windows and balconies to take in the woodsy picturesque views while maintaining privacy for the bedrooms. The first floor consists of 3 of the 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and laundry, with floating mono-stringer and white oak stairs leading you either up to the stylish kitchen which includes Sub Zero and Wolf appliances, a large great room for entertaining, along with a partially covered second-floor wraparound deck, allowing you to fully enjoy the peace and solitude in any weather; or down to the fully finished 8.5-foot tall basement. In an effort to preserve total privacy and solitude, the property has been very lightly deforested to open up the views to the pond, which is stocked with Fathead Minnows, Black Crappies, Blue Gill and Pumpkin Seed Sunnies, Large Mouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Catfish, and Coi, but further tree-work could be done to open up views of the Berkshires and potentially the Catskills. It is worth noting that even in the dead of winter no neighbors can be seen from the home.
The Overlook easily approaches net zero impact with a Tesla solar tile roof and powerwall+, geothermal heating and cooling, Marvin windows and doors, Energy Star appliances, full LED lighting, and heat pump hot water. Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully designed. The bathrooms feature radiant heat tile floors with smart thermostats, and Toto toilets complete with bidets in the 2 main baths. Throughout the entire house, you will find oil-finished white oak flooring, seamless flush mount vents, and remotely operable smart thermostats, fans, light switches/dimmers, and outlets so you can have complete control when away. The heated garage includes 50A electric vehicle ChargePoint.
