This exquisite, one-of-a-kind home commands a 360 degree view from a vantage point that encompasses both the Catskill and Taconic mountains, a beautiful pond, and flowing fields. On 29 acres, Top of the Hill creatively incorporates several elements in its construction, including raised seam metal roof, stacked stone walls and chimneys, pristine clapboard, and flagstones in patios and covered porches. The house is approached at the end of a long, private driveway that passes through a barn, a singularly unique entree to this special home. Several rooms soar up to double height ceilings. The living room includes a loft library accessed by a single-file staircase. Every outdoor seating area has perfect privacy and views. A fireplace in every room, including the kitchen and basement office, recreates the feeling of a timeless, European villa. The kitchen's honed black granite counters, banquette ready for a 10-seat table, and counter-top chef's stove is doubled in size and storage capacity by a full butler's pantry. In addition to the second-floor primary suite with sitting room and dual bathrooms, there are three guest rooms. One is above the capacious main library, and two more are on the first floor. All bedrooms are ensuite. Special touches include elegant wood floors throughout, laundry room with mangle, radiant heat, and built-in bookshelves in nearly every room. A gunite pool, with cabana that includes full bath and kitchenette, is mere steps from the house. On the property is a spacious two-bedroom guest cottage with full kitchen, living room, bath and two bedrooms on the first floor and two finished rooms with wall to wall carpet and space heaters and a bath on the second. There is a three-car garage and equipment shed and small barn for another vehicle. Although comfortably livable, Top of the Hill is listed well below the appraised value due to the fact that it is in need of some work.
