52 Morton, Rhinebeck

This Hudson Riverfront estate has a long, winding driveway leading to a Craftsman/Arts and Craft style compound surrounded in sought-after privacy and ready for home entertaining. Swim poolside, dine al fresco on the covered porches, or relax on the spacious deck and watch the ever-changing river views. Designed and built by internationally renowned artist Richard Artschwager, and acclaimed Hudson Valley contractor Sam Reichelt, the light woodlands and natural landscaping envelop the compound and create a peaceful and inviting setting. The galley-style entry with wall of windows opens to a living room filled with relaxed elegance featuring a buttressed beam ceiling and cupola filling the room with light. Complemented with a tiled fireplace, wall of custom cabinetry and bank of windows taking in the River views, it steps up to the well-proportioned dining room and kitchen. The kitchen with a center island, top appliances and two sinks creating lots of work space, is designed for family-style gatherings. A study with fireplace adjacent to a full bath is a flexible first-floor master suite. And, there is an at-home office. Upstairs, along with the spacious master suite, there is an additional 3 bedrooms, hall bath and a light-filled library overlooking the River. Outside, a character-filled guest house has a full kitchen with two spacious loft-style rooms. And just at woodland's edge, a sun-lit artist's studio is flexible as a recreation room or second home office. Minutes to the conveniences of Rhinebeck, Bard, and 3/4 mile to Amtrak station. This compound retreat is ideal.
