Nestled within the serene landscapes of Woodstock, this quintessential rustic contemporary ranch, with its roots tracing back to a c.1930 one-room native bluestone ice house, is a rare gem, (with a definitive mid-century vibe) awaiting the discerning buyer seeking a primary or second home sanctuary just two hours from NYC. Boasting a rich history of thoughtful expansions by the current owners since their acquisition in 1968, this splendid residence has evolved into a sophisticated yet simple country retreat. Offering 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the residence features a very spacious living area, an ample, vaulted dining room, an inviting eat-in kitchen, and a den/office with an ensuite bathroom. The lower level reveals two finished rooms, (a rec room and an office-below grade and not in the square footage) expanding the functionality of this unique property. Positioned strategically on the mountainside, mere moments from Woodstock Village, this haven provides a tranquil escape while ensuring privacy from neighboring structures. Designed and crafted by the architect owner, with an emphasis on solid and low-maintenance construction, the home now beckons a new owner and caretaker to infuse it with fresh vision. While currently super comfortable, the potential for this residence to become a show-stopping masterpiece is apparent, making it an ideal investment for the right buyer seeking comfort and tranquility. Location, location, location!
