Perched gracefully upon a serene hillside the Arbor House hides from the outside world. Embodying a minimalist elegance characterized by clean lines and uncomplicated sophistication, the exterior, meticulously crafted from trees harvested on the property, conceals a world of understated luxury behind its facade. Striking black Marvin windows adorn the rustic face and belie what's inside - a soft, inviting interior. Approaching the house, an expansive front porch beckons you inside. Crossing the threshold you're greeted by a grand living space where a soaring 14-foot arched oak ceiling crowning the room and radiant-heated concrete floors. A woodburning stove anchors the space in rustic comfort. Adjacent sits a bright dining area and a chef's kitchen replete with arabescato marble countertops, gas range and woodgrain-textured cabinetry. Oversized windows envelope the space, providing picturesque views of the wooded landscape from every vantage. French doors usher you out to a spacious pavilion, the perfect setting for al fresco dining, stories around the firepit or simply quiet moments of reflection beside the spring-fed pond. On the main level, two guest bedrooms and a full bath with double sinks and a bespoke marble vanity provide comfort and convenience. Ascend the stairs to the 2nd floor, where the Arbor House reveals its piece de resistance: the tranquil primary suite. Gleaming white hardwood floors flow seamlessly from the bedroom into the bathroom, harmonizing with the warm oak ceiling and enormous picture windows that give the feeling of living among the treetops. The spa-like primary bathroom, adorned with a custom marble double-vanity, a freestanding tub and an oversized glass shower, offers a luxurious retreat. Handmade tiles, white shiplap, custom built-ins and vintage lighting add to the charm. The Arbor House was designed with sustainability in mind, featuring passive solar gain, radiant heat and an electric HVAC system for energy efficiency. The use of recycled custom-milled lumber in its construction minimizes the home's carbon footprint. An ideal country escape, the Arbor House is a thoughtfully-designed modern cabin in the woods, providing a sense of seclusion without isolation. The location is unbeatable, just minutes to all the best of Accord including Inness, Westwind Orchard, Arrowood Farms, and all less than 2hr from NYC. Note: agent has ownership interest
