Perched high above the Hudson Valley, Sunset House is an exceptional modern country residence offering over 3,000 sq ft of beautifully renovated living space, extraordinary views, complete privacy, and an uncompromising level of craftsmanship. From its elevated position in Germantown, the house captures an expansive 360-degree panorama Catskill Mountain views to the west, the Berkshire foothills to the east, and luminous sunsets that transform the landscape each evening. The property has been comprehensively renovated with a sophisticated, natural palette and an emphasis on exceptional materials and craftsmanship. Wide-plank white oak floors, custom solid-wood doors and trim, Anderson casement windows, custom lighting, new electrical and plumbing, and a new standing-seam metal roof and HardiePlank siding create a house that feels both contemporary and enduring. The architecture is oriented toward the landscape, with oversized windows bringing the surrounding mountains into nearly every room. In the living room, the effect is particularly striking--the house seems to float above the valley, with uninterrupted views and a new gas fireplace providing a warm counterpoint to the expansive setting. At the center of the home is a custom-designed kitchen combining KraftMaid cabinetry with substantial solid black walnut elements and a custom island surround crafted locally by Cross & Miter. Calacatta Verde marble tile, solid quartz surfaces, raw brass hardware, and a full suite of Bertazzoni appliances create a kitchen that is as beautiful as it is functional. A sophisticated wet bar, complete with wine, beverage and snack refrigerators, hammered stainless sink, quartz surfaces, and custom butternut shelving, extends the entertaining spaces. Four generously proportioned bedrooms, with flexibility for a fifth, include a newly created primary suite with private bath, custom closet, and a large private porch overlooking the surrounding landscape. Three beautifully appointed full baths feature hand-cut fireclay and terracotta tile, marble and quartzite, custom vanities, polished nickel fixtures, deep soaking tubs, and walk-in showers. Every closet features custom-built hardwood interiors. Outside, the property is designed for effortless summer living. The pool occupies a prime position against the mountain views, surrounded by new bluestone coping, new fencing, a brand-new pool house, and mature flowering plantings that create a sense of privacy. Behind the house, a new bluestone terrace provides another beautifully appointed outdoor setting, framed by river stone pea gravel and the surrounding landscape. New exterior lighting, doors, gutters, landscaping, and architectural details complete the extensive exterior improvements. The septic system was inspected, approved to be in excellent condition, and pumped prior to construction. The location is equally compelling. Set in the heart of the Hudson Valley, Sunset House is walking distance to Germantown with easy access to the restaurants, galleries, shops, and cultural life of Hudson, Tivoli, and Rhinebeck. It is a rare setting that offers true privacy and panoramic country views without giving up proximity to some of the region's most sought-after destinations. Sunset House is a fully realized country retreat--private, architectural, beautifully appointed, and completely connected to its extraordinary setting. A place for long summer days by the pool, dinners that stretch into the evening, and sunsets that never get old.
