425 Lake Drive

Description

Set on more than 15 private acres of woodland and open lawn, this modern retreat is thoughtfully sited within its landscape, offering a rare sense of privacy and ease for summer living. The house is positioned to take full advantage of its surroundings, with broad stretches of glass that bring the outside in and frame views of the trees from nearly every room. The design is clean and intentional. Sloping rooflines, pale wood floors, and carefully detailed millwork give the interiors warmth while maintaining a distinctly modern sensibility. Light moves freely through the open living and dining spaces, where tall windows and sliding doors blur the line between indoors and out. The kitchen continues this approach—sleek, functional, and thoughtfully integrated into the flow of the house. Bedrooms are calm and uncluttered, several opening to private decks suspended lightly among the trees. Bathrooms are equally understated, finished in simple materials and soft neutral tones that reflect the home’s overall restraint. Across the lawn sits a separate studio with its own bath, offering a flexible space for guests, work, or quiet retreat. The layout of the property creates the feeling of a small compound, with paths connecting buildings through open grass and shaded woodland. Outdoor living is central here. Covered porches, terraces, and generous windows keep the landscape in constant view, while a cedar sauna tucked into the main house provides a restorative end to the day. Available seasonally from July 3rd through Labor Day, the house offers something increasingly rare in the Hudson Valley—complete privacy, modern design, and the simple pleasure of summer lived close to nature.
