Handcrafted Elegance Close to PHOENICIA
Hand Crafted Elegance
3 or more nights = $345
This custom designed home is nestled among beautifully landscaped gardens in a very private setting, and often on the local garden tour. It was designed and built by the owners with comfort and quality at every turn. Reclaimed wood was used to add a personal touch. The house features a unique altar railing from a 19th century local stone church. Much of the reclaimed wood, from vintage buildings, adds to the charming ambiance of this romantic home.
Located 2 1/2 hours from N.Y.C. and 7 minutes from Phoenicia with it's lovely Main Street, restaurants and shops. It is no surprise that the Phoenicia area has become the fastest growing hot spot for weekend and vacation getaways from N.Y.C.
Numerous magazines have written articles and the phrase "The New Hamptons"
has become common.
Tropical deck
Enjoy outdoor dining on a tropical deck overlooking the koi pond and Japanese rock garden. Relax or do yoga with the peaceful, tranquil sound of the waterfall, or visit the stream at the bottom of the driveway. Sit back on the deck in the warm sun on Adirondack chairs or under the roof at the mosaic table made from a wine barrel with it's lazy susan center. A beautiful spot for morning coffee. Or just relax and swing in the hammock.
Living space
The living room (20x30) has a large, soft, comfy sofa. Reclaimed diamond paned windows frame a gorgeous window seat with pillows. Hardwood maple flooring is throughout the home.
Kitchen
The spacious bright kitchen is fully equipped with dual fuel 1500 btu gas burners and an electric convection oven. Full size refrigerator, dish washer, toaster oven, microwave, Kitchen Aid mixer, coffee pot, veggie juicer, blender, food processor,
etc. Two skylights brighten the work area.
Dishes, cookware, utensils, baking supplies all intended for serious cooks. It has a marble work counter and includes a large butcher block centrally located for convenience, there is plenty of counter space. Our dream kitchen!
A true pleasure to create wonderful meals while enjoying the view over the gardens and the new, spectacular stone pizza oven.
Hummingbirds feed at the window 3 feet from the dining area table. Colorful birds feast at other windows.
Bedrooms. (Linens included)
There are 3 newly renovated bedrooms upstairs with views overlooking the gardens and mountains. Two master bedrooms, one with a pillow-top king mattress, the second has a new pillow-top queen mattress. The latter has a very large picture window. When the leaves fall you can see water glistening in the stream with the mountain tops above. The third bedroom has a twin.
Bathroom
There is one bathroom with plenty of hot water and great pressure!
Soap and towels included
Fast Wi fi and a land line phone are available, as well as cable TV.
The playhouse is adorable, it has a play stove, loft and 2 flip chairs.
Feel free to gently harvest the organic veggie and herb garden.
Sit around the campfire on those cool mountain evenings.
Our well water is fabulous and without sulfur. Family and friends from the city always take some home!
