204 Lasher AVE Germantown, NY 12526

L-Wing is a contemporary masterpiece that pays homage to the agrarian roots of the Hudson Valley surrounding it, a true modernist take on the archetypal farmstead. A New York based talented architect duo after a years long search settled on this exceptional property, just minutes from Germantown, and then started on a 3 year journey of realizing their most personal & important project yet. L-Wing is a perfect example of the integral relationship between architecture & nature, where the surrounding climate, the landscape of the site, & the rural views critically informed every architectural & design decision. The eminently warm & peaceful residence seamlessly integrates Japanese & Scandinavian aesthetics with the organic architectural principles of the local vernacular of barns & sheds. Each window frames a 'scene' within the surrounding landscape, the clever positioning of private versus shared spaces that play on the natural movement of light throughout the house & the sensoriality of the primary materials used - clear cedar tongue & groove siding, interior glulam beams, white oak flooring, Brazillian-imported leather-finish Quartzite & the delicate use of polished concrete. The 4-bedroom, 5-bath, 4,600 square-foot home sits at the end of a long driveway amid over twelve acres for total privacy. The expansive living & dining room space is anchored by a fireplace with a custom designed concrete hearth & a fabricated metal chimney in the center. Large floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides flood the room with natural light throughout the day. The kitchen has custom rift oak cabinetry & professional-grade appliances. The private wing of the residence hosts three bedrooms & three baths on the upper level, with a fourth, tucked-away guest bedroom suite on the lower level.The landscape is quintessential Hudson Valley, & the views are sweeping. The interior blends seamlessly with the exterior by way of a cedar deck that wraps around almost the entirety of the home, a Japanese Karesansui-inspired garden, several exterior gathering spaces for dining & entertaining, & for the more adventurous, multiple paths that extend into the 'wilder' part of the grounds.L-Wing finds its home in the beautiful surroundings of Germantown & is only 10 minutes from Tivoli, 20 minutes from Hudson, Rhinebeck, & two Amtrak stations, & two hours from New York City.
