RESIDENTIAL

Th is 10,500 sf, 2-story home is situated on a wooded 16-acre site with western views to theHudson River and the Catskill Mountains beyond. More project details.

Designed in the Hudson Valley gabled vernacular, this five‑bedroom residence pairs traditional form with a contemporary, light‑filled interior. Primary rooms are oriented to capture sweeping, panoramic views of the Hudson River. The plan centers on a dramatic double‑height great room: a vaulted ceiling articulated by natural‑finish, glue‑laminated arched beams and anchored by a full‑height natural stone fireplace, creating a warm, sculptural focal point that links scale, materiality, and the landscape beyond.

The house features state-of-the-art integrated data and mechanical systems, supported by a dedicated emergency generator for uninterrupted operation and comfort. A walk-out basement cleverly responds to the sloping site, opening onto a landscaped descent that leads to a pond and continues to the Hudson River. Interior design was led by Elspeth Knox, whose thoughtful furnishings and finishes enhance the home’s seamless connection between technology, comfort, and the surrounding landscape.
