New Listing
Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) Vaulted white ceilings and minimalist lighting enhance volume and light, while floor-to-ceiling glass brings the outdoors in. The open kitchen and living space centers around a sculptural stone island designed for both gathering and function, complemented by custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, a sunlit breakfast nook, and a fireplace for year-round comfort. The primary suite is privately set on its own level with a balcony, soaring ceilings, an oversized Noguchi light fixture, and sweeping mountain views. A spa-like bath features a soaking tub and marble-clad walls. A second suite on the lower level offers a fieldstone fireplace, sitting area, private bath, and direct outdoor access, while a striking spiral staircase within a barn silo form leads to a loft space with full bath ideal for guests, a creative space, den, or office. Outdoors, a private sunny deck, landscape with stone steps and walls and secondary driveway leading to a garage complete the offering. Located minutes from Sheffield and close to New York and Connecticut, enjoy nearby antiques, galleries, dining, markets, and nature trails. Effortless, architectural, and quietly luxurious, this is a home for those who value restraint, beauty, and connection to landscape over excess. A serene country escape shaped by light, landscape, and intention.
