27 Bakertown Road

Just two hours from NYC and set on two private acres along one of Accord's prettiest country roads, this stylish and turnkey 3BD/2BA, 1920sf mid-century modern home offers a rare combination of architecture, nature and easy upstate living. Walls of glass throughout the main floor evoke a treehouse vibe, with the surrounding landscape becoming part of the interior experience in every season. Stone and glass provide the architectural through line: a dramatic interior stone wall frames the living room fireplace, while another rises behind the floating staircase connecting the home's two levels. The open floor plan and abundance of indoor/outdoor space make the home equally suited to quiet weekends in the country and year-round entertaining. On the main level, the kitchen flows directly into the dining and living areas, where the stone fireplace anchors the space during the colder months. Adjacent to the living room is a striking glass-enclosed flex space fully immersed in the surrounding woods. Currently used as guest quarters, it could easily be converted to a home office, gym or studio. Opposite the dining area is a bedroom with a full ensuite bathroom. A floating staircase descends alongside the stone wall to the lower level, where two additional bedrooms and a second full bath are located. One of the bedrooms features its own fireplace, adding another unexpected layer of warmth and character. The outdoor spaces are every bit as considered. A large screened-in porch serves as additional entertaining space and a bug-free spot for outdoor dining. At the rear of the house, extensive bluestone terraces, walkways and a sunken courtyard create a series of spaces for dining, lounging and evenings gathered around the fire pit. Artfully crafted bluestone steps climb the hillside to a substantial detached two-car garage with electricity and water, offering additional possibilities for a gym, studio, workshop or future finished space. Two driveways offer options for parking, one leads to the two car garage and one lands directly adjacent to the house. Built in 1982 and gut renovated in 2007, the home has been thoughtfully maintained while retaining the materials, proportions and connection to nature that give it its distinctive character. The location is difficult to beat. Inness, Arrowood Farms, Westwind Orchard, Accord Market and Saunderskill Farm are all approximately five minutes away, while Minnewaska State Park, Mohonk Preserve, the Catskills and the towns of Kingston, Woodstock and New Paltz are all within easy reach. For anyone looking to fully embrace upstate living without sacrificing design, comfort or access, this is an unusually complete package.
