Description

Walls of Glass. Morning Light. Forest. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the Town of Tuxedo, New York, this thoughtfully updated mid-century contemporary borders Sterling Forest State Park on two sides, creating an extraordinary sense of privacy and connection to nature. Expansive walls of glass fill the home with natural light, framing mountain views and creating interiors that change beautifully with the seasons. The main living spaces are open, warm, and inviting, and anchored by vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and hardwood floors throughout the main level. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, brand-new appliances installed within the past year, and offers exceptional storage for kitchenware and pantry items. Just beyond, an oversized deck extends the living space outdoors for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. The primary suite features a beautifully renovated spa-inspired bath with radiant heated floors. Two additional bedrooms are finished with custom Hunter Douglas shutters, while major mechanical improvements, including new heating and air conditioning systems and a water heater installed in 2024, provide peace of mind for many years to come. The lower level adds exceptional flexibility to the home. A spacious mudroom with laundry is located directly off the driveway, offering abundant storage for four-season gear and everyday essentials. A full bathroom and three additional rooms provide endless possibilities for home offices, guest accommodations, a fitness studio, media room, or additional living space. The home is about 2,939 sq ft with all spaces factored in. Outside, the lifestyle is every bit as compelling as the home itself. A low-maintenance saltwater pool is surrounded by perennial gardens, ornamental trees, and a pergola that offers welcome shade on warm summer afternoons. Landscape lighting transforms the grounds after sunset, while an outdoor shower, oversized storage shed with covered firewood storage, and a whole-house generator add comfort and practicality. Meandering pathways lead to quiet corners tucked within the property, creating natural spaces for a fire pit, play, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the setting. Open lawn, mature landscaping, and direct access to thousands of acres of Sterling Forest State Park make this property feel worlds away, while remaining just minutes from NJ Transit rail service, commuter bus service to New York City, Valley Rock Inn, local coffee shops, restaurants, Mt. Peter Ski Area and everyday conveniences. Located within the Monroe-Woodbury School District in New York's Lower Hudson Valley, this home offers a beautiful balance of contemporary design, thoughtful updates, and an outdoor lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. A place where architecture, landscape, and everyday living exist in remarkable harmony.
