Townhouse Austerlitz

SUNSET MEADOW - Where Architecture and Nature Exist in Perfect Balance As the private drive gently climbs through the landscape, a sense of calm settles in. Perfectly sited on over 30 private acres of rolling lawns, flowering gardens, open meadows, and woodlands, this exceptional Kate Johns-designed country residence reveals itself, embracing commanding western Catskill Mountain views, spectacular sunsets, complete privacy, and nature’s ever-changing beauty. An expansive front porch welcomes you before you even step inside, hinting at the gracious living spaces beyond, where soaring ceilings, walls of glass, wide-plank floors, and abundant natural light frame breathtaking vistas. Flooded with natural light, gracious living and dining spaces unfold beneath soaring ceilings, where a grand stone fireplace, timeless architectural details, and French doors opening to the stone patio create an atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting. Nearly every room enjoys breathtaking western Catskill Mountain views. The chef’s kitchen is beautifully designed for both the serious and enthusiastic cook, with a generous center island, oversized walk-in pantry, Wolf range, and abundant storage. French doors open to one of the home’s most memorable spaces--an expansive bluestone three-season porch overlooking lush gardens, the pool, patio and commanding western Catskill Mountain views. From morning coffee to sunset dinners, it’s a space designed to be enjoyed in every season, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. The private primary wing is a true sanctuary, offering a spacious bedroom, luxurious bath, exceptional walk-in closet, and an adjoining library or home office that easily serves as an additional bedroom. Upstairs, a sitting area connects two private en-suite guest bedrooms, each enjoying those sweeping Western views. In its own separate area, an additional spacious room offers remarkable flexibility as a studio, home office, library, or additional guest bedroom, allowing the home to live comfortably as either a four- or five-bedroom residence with 4½ baths. The finished lower level offers yet another wonderful surprise, designed for entertaining with a recreation room, bar, full bath, and abundant storage. A welcoming mudroom, laundry room, and attached two-car garage, EV charging and solar make everyday living as effortless as weekends in the country. Outside, lush perennial and wildflower gardens embrace the pool and spa, where monarch butterflies drift from bloom to bloom throughout the summer. A spring-fed swim pond, open meadows, and mature woodlands complete this extraordinary landscape, offering endless opportunities to relax, explore, and enjoy every season.
