41 Rue Wittenberg

Hidden among the trees and just seven minutes from the center of Woodstock, this 1970s contemporary feels like a private creative compound, untouched in all the right ways.

Set on 2 wooded acres with the Sawkill Creek at the rear of the property, the home unfolds through a series of unexpected spaces and strong architectural moments. A dramatic sunken living room anchors the house, centered around an oversized stone fireplace and framed by walls of glass that draw the surrounding landscape indoors. The original design language remains beautifully intact throughout, offering the rare opportunity to own a true period home rather than a generic renovation.

The layout is expansive and flexible with over 2,700 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and multiple gathering spaces that open naturally toward the outdoors. Off the kitchen, a tucked-away courtyard deck creates an especially inviting area for dining, entertaining, or slow summer evenings beneath the trees. A luminous 500 sq ft porch overlooks the gunite pool, while a separate studio building introduces endless possibilities: artist studio, guest overflow, workspace, movement room, or retreat space.

At the edge of the property sits a whimsical treehouse tucked into the woods, adding yet another layer to the property’s distinctly Woodstock character. Longtime home to Woodstock artist Lenny Kislin, the property carries a deeply creative spirit shaped over decades. An acclaimed assemblage artist, Kislin created witty and deeply poignant sculptures by bringing together carefully sourced antique components and found objects, transforming fragments of the past into works rich with meaning and imagination. His work remains integrated throughout the home and studio.

Private, architectural, and rich with atmosphere, 41 Wittenberg is a rare offering. This property has genuine soul, minutes from the center of Woodstock yet entirely its own world.
