A one-of-a-kind modern barn house comprising of 4,480 sq ft of luxury living with 5 en-suite bedrooms with 5 and 1 half baths is soon to be underway in the heart of historic Springs. Sited on a bucolic 2-acre meadow adjacent 12 acres of reserve and lined to the east with a rare bamboo forest, this sensational home is slated to be completed by the end of 2022.
Flawless attention to detail is evident at every turn. Masterfully designed this home celebrates the strategic juxtaposition of forms, the purity of clean lines, and the play of natural light. What emerges is a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of city and digital life, allowing for a sense of peace and calm as you discover and live in the spaces.
On approach, picture the bold marriage of three barns connect one to one another to create a house designed with modern materials -metal standing seam roofing, dark grey stained cedar shingle siding, accented by a charcoal window and door package. Even the landscape plan is an integral element to the home’s allure.
At the entry a covered bluestone patio leads into the home in two directions: through a glass pivot door with a preview through the foyer to the courtyard, and another door into a mudroom vestibule with coat closet and a powder room. Inside, a large media room den is adjacent the butler’s bar with beverage fridge and bar sink.
At the core of the home is a Great Room- a grand 24’ high vaulted barn space with living, dining and kitchen anchored by a centerpiece fireplace and a south facing wall of glass and sliders out to a resort-like courtyard patio. The custom kitchen is fitted with a professional Sub Zero / Wolf appliance package, 2 Bosch dishwashers, a restaurant-style sink workstation, a 10 x 3.5ft center island, and a built-in pantry room tucked conveniently behind.
Cantilevered over the kitchen is an open home office loft with a view looking down into the Great Room barn-space. A guest bedroom suite is found on the second story here.
The primary suite is located at one end of the house with a wall of glass sliders offering direct access to the pool and patio at one end of the courtyard. A hallway with 2 matching walk-in closets leads to the master bath with soaking tub. On the other side of the courtyard are 2 private guest suites and a second primary suite with a large shower-room and soaking tub. Here also, south-facing sliders open to the garden and patio.
The courtyard set between the three “barns” is the focal point of the property showcasing a 20 x 40 heated salt-water Gunite pool set within a large porcelain patio with plenty of space for lounging, outdoor living and dining. There is a built-in barbeque station and planting areas for flower and vegetable gardens.
Additional space remains in the lower level to one day create another living space or media room/gym with 2 bedrooms and a bath.
This special home is located only a stone’s throw to the Springs General Store, fabulous waterside dining, numerous galleries and Ashawagh Hall, where a thriving local artist community congregates for year-round events.
For discerning buyers who value thoughtful design and exceptional craftsmanship, this is truly a luxury property that you’ll never want to or need to leave.
