Perched on top of a mountain with expansive views of the Catskills and stunning sunsets you find this exceptional Arts and Crafts home steeped in history. Standing in the middle of its' 32-acre lot, its location and position provide unmatched privacy and extensive outdoor space while being within 5 minutes of the lovely town of Catskill and 15 minutes from the city of Hudson, New York. Perfectly located in the middle of a booming Upstate NY scene, you are just 2 hours from New York City by car or by train. The residence, built in 1920, is a single-story home with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It blends historical character with modern luxury. The spacious kitchen is a culinary haven, accommodating a 10-person dining table as well as two large window seats that offer stunning views west of the surrounding mountains. The chef's kitchen features a Wolf range, two ovens, a paneled refrigerator, a dishwasher, and an elegant wood-burning fireplace that sets the atmosphere for cozy dinners with family and friends.The home features a spacious living room with a second wood-burning fireplace and a primary bedroom suite with an en-suite bathroom. The third bedroom with ensuite bath is found in a separate structure perched on a hill above the main home accessed by a meandering stone staircase surrounded by lush mossy grounds and an original planter with a picturesque Japanese Maple tree.Outside, there is a heated, gunite saltwater pool surrounded by landscaped gardens and an open view of the mountains. There is also a whole-house generator and a water filtration system. The property has a rich historical background. It was originally built for British traveler and author Alleyne Ireland, known for his writings on British tropical colonies and his role as private secretary to Joseph Pulitzer. Alleyne's extensive travels in Asia and his close relationship with architect Frank Lloyd Wright inspired the style of the house. The land was painted by Thomas Cole, founder of the Hudson River School of landscape painting. 70 years later, the house was discovered in ruins by renowned NYC-based designer Stephen Shadley, who meticulously restored it. In a labor of love, Shadley took the structure down to its stone walls and fireplaces and built it again from the ground up in 2005. The roof, made of zinc tiles shipped specifically for the project from France, is only one of the touches of historic elegance that Shadley added to accentuate its unique character.
