Inspired by the ships passing below, this stunning contemporary home strikes a dramatic profile in the woods above the Hudson River, starting with a bow-shaped façade that casts volumes of sunlight throughout an exceptionally designed setting for modern living. Move-in ready and designed with both high style and sustainability in mind, the house is entered on a dramatic open lower level of gallery or guest space that includes a sleek luxury bathroom, flanked by an over-sized storage room and garage. Up the stairs, crafted from reclaimed barnwood, the Wow Factor fully kicks in, with a massive living space under 14-foot ceilings, featuring a much-enjoyed floating orb fireplace plus an open dining and kitchen layout that includes an oversized pantry. Down the hall are a guest bedroom and full bathroom, then a bright and airy owners' suite with its own bathroom, custom-built walk-in closet and private deck taking full advantage of the seasonal views of the Hudson. A long list of high-end features and finishes includes radiant heating, solar-powered hot water, central air-conditioning, triple-paned windows, fine hardwood and cork flooring, and state-of-the-art security and climate-control systems. Outside, the home's bridge deck, gathering patio and firepit take full advantage of a forest setting that features a stream, waterfall and soaring trees. Indoors and out, it's a perfect blend of modern and natural, 15 minutes from the MetroNorth station in Poughkeepsie, 10 minutes from the New Paltz village center, 5 minutes from the NYS Thruway and just 90 minutes from Manhattan.
