Crafted with timeless materials, the home features original chestnut woodwork and beams, oak floors, and multi-paned windows adorned with wrought iron hardware, preserving the authenticity and charm of the early 20th century.

Main Level Highlights include the spacious first-floor en-suite bedroom,
Inviting living room with fireplace and woodstove insert leading to the peaceful screened porch.
Formal dining room ideal for entertaining adjacent to the bright, thoughtfully designed kitchen flowing into a cozy beamed breakfast room. Watch your favorite films in the media room and enjoy your remote work experience in the dedicated office. Finally, the awe-inspiring north-light creator's studio with soaring 12-foot ceilings to utilize as your personal escape.
Retreat upstairs to the primary en-suite bedroom with private balcony overlooking the serene lawns. Also on this level is the versatile guest bedroom/gym with private bath and the tranquil vaulted third bedroom, a true sanctuary of peace.
Exterior highlights feature the detached garage and two-car carport, multi-level deck and bluestone patio, outdoor shower, sweeping private lawn and elegant heated 60' gunite pool with spa, ideal for summer relaxation.
Located in the heart of the Byrdcliffe historic district, this home is not just a residence, it's an artistic legacy. Rarely does a property of such provenance, privacy, and character become available in this cherished enclave of Woodstock.
