Fifteen minutes south of Rhinebeck, on a small, secluded dead-end road tucked into the woods, this stunning 1961 home overlooks Crum Elbow Creek and a very active - and musical - waterfall. A fantastic example of site-specific design, this house has all the hallmarks of Mid-Century Modern architecture. Floor-to-ceiling windows carry the outdoors in, flooding the house with natural light; original details include a floating staircase, veneer paneled walls, cove lighting, slate floors and a spectacular tiled bathroom with original fixtures that must be seen to be believed. A recent, full renovation of the kitchen has been integrated into the open living/dining room, and an architectural remodel of the front entrance showcases the clean lines that define MCM style. Only the main floor of the 2, 450 sq ft beauty (living room, dining area, kitchen, primary bed and bath) is visible from the road. The lower level (large den, two additional bedrooms, laundry room and bath), is bermed in below, with more enormous windows and two separate walk-out doors to the back yard. Landscaping has been carefully considered to complement the site and preserve numerous mature, thriving rhododendron bushes. A detached two-car garage includes a spacious 2-level loft-like studio space for an artist or work from home, completing this timeless turnkey gem. Nature trails are nearby, as well as the historic Roosevelt and Vanderbilt sites. Amtrak and Metro-North stations are within a 15 minute drive and it's under two hours by car to NYC.
