15 John Street

Tucked away on a quiet corner lot in the heart of New City, this architect-designed contemporary renovation offers a rare alternative to the ordinary suburban house. With soaring ceilings, dramatic structural beams that animate the space, and an abundance of skylights, the house is filled with natural light and a striking sense of space. Every room feels thoughtfully designed — warm, modern, and deeply connected to the outdoors. The expansive open-plan living area is equally suited to intimate dinners and lively gatherings, with seamless flow between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape. Outside, the property unfolds into a true backyard retreat. Mature specimen trees, lush landscaping, in-ground pool, spacious deck, and patio create a serene oasis for summer entertaining, quiet mornings, or family afternoons by the water. The backyard borders a dead-end street, enhancing the sense of calm and seclusion. The walk-out lower level features a generous family room with direct access to the pool area, a full bath, and flexible space for guests, recreation, or work-from-home living. A partially finished basement offers even more room for play, exercise, studio space, or storage. Five spacious bedrooms and three full baths provide comfort and flexibility for modern family life, while the attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience. Located on peaceful, tree-lined roads yet just a short walk to downtown New City and nearby parkland, this one-of-a-kind home offers the best of both worlds: tranquility, design, and easy access to community life. All within the award-winning Clarkstown school district.
