306 Meads Mountain Road, Woodstock

Swoop House is a residence with two great rooms, one of which was designed as a professional art studio. Designed by FT Architecture & Interiors, and inspired by the Diller Scofidio Slow House, the 5000 square feet span three levels. This singular residence is sited at the end of a long driveway on Overlook Mountain on 16 peaceful and private acres. This property provides you with both distant and intimate mountain views. It borders thousands of acres of pristine NY State land, while being located just five minutes from the village of Woodstock. Two non-parallel curved walls and sloping ceilings create a graceful series of shapes. The first story has a spacious two-story entry with a walk-in closet, and Brazilian cumaru wood flooring. There is great room with a 40-foot-long curved northern wall providing ample room for art displays, as well as a row of 10 large picture windows above - each of which frame views of the surrounding environment. The room is anchored by a wood burning fireplace with a 15-foot blanca perlino Italian marble hearth. Floor-to-ceiling windows face South, where glass doors lead to a walkway and a series of outdoor spaces. The gourmet kitchen boasts top of the line Bosch, and Wolf appliances and a built in Sub-Zero refrigerator, a stone countertop, and a butler's pantry with a sink and second refrigerator. The kitchen door leads out onto an expansive two story screened porch designed for dining and lounging, and the 40-foot outdoor deck, with black locust wood decking, where you can host dinner parties among the treetops. Adjacent to the kitchen is an office, and an adjoining full bath. Two well appointed bedroom suites are located on either end of the residence for privacy. The first floor bedroom suite has high ceilings, a walk-in closet, and large windows. A private entrance opens out onto one of several native bluestone patios, surrounded by perennial gardens with a hot tub. Its spacious bathroom has a dressing area and an oversized Brazilian stone shower where it is easy to imagine yourself under a waterfall. Leading to the primary bedroom suite, an open staircase provides views of the great room and outdoors from above. At the top of the stairs there is access to a south facing balcony. Here you can soak up sunshine and views year round while staying protected from the elements. The primary bedroom suite has two walls of floor to ceiling windows, a walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom with a shower, a travertine marble countertop, and walk-through room for a jetted tub. From here one can step outdoors onto a serene sleeping porch on a loft within the two-story screened porch. Access to the second great room is provided from inside the house, as well as from outside at ground level, via a set of double glass doors and its own dedicated driveway. This space, now in use as a painting studio offers 2000 square feet, with 18-foot ceilings, a 40-foot display wall, oak flooring and radiant heat. Large windows, with custom sun-blocking shades, provide gorgeous natural light. There are also tracks for lighting, and a double utility sink in the kitchenette. Its adjoining media room is a place where you can take a break, repose, listen to music, have meetings, workout, and refresh in the full bathroom with a steam shower. It too has a private entrance that opens to a bluestone patio. There is a laundry room with linen storage, and a 300 square foot storage space. The studio and media spaces would also make an impressive addition to the residence as a family room or an alternative private bedroom suite. The outdoor spaces where you can enjoy the mountain and gardens are perfect for finding solitude or for entertaining. Swoop House is within 10 minutes to The Bearsville Theater, Woodstock's renowned restaurants, music venues, art galleries, shops, and farmer's market. It is 20 minutes to Kingston, 30 minutes to Rhinebeck and under two hours to NYC.
