249 Old Saw Mill Road

Set on just over three private acres in one of the Hudson Valley's most sought-after towns, 249 Old Saw Mill is a house with extraordinary presence. Conceived as a contemporary interpretation of the vernacular barn structures that define the surrounding landscape, the home feels both grounded and transportive--architectural in form, yet deeply soulful in execution. Clad in charcoal-stained wood, the house reveals itself quietly. Inside, the mood shifts immediately: hand-troweled plaster walls, wide plank floors, reclaimed beams and millwork, stained poured concrete, antique doors, richly layered textiles, and globally sourced furnishings create interiors with unusual depth and warmth. Every surface feels considered. Every room carries a distinct sense of atmosphere. At the heart of the home is a dramatic open living, dining, and kitchen space anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and framed by expansive windows that draw in light throughout the day. The kitchen balances rustic materiality with modern function, while the adjoining covered porch extends living outdoors for long dinners and slow summer evenings. The layout offers three beautifully private en suite bedrooms, including two exceptional primary suites on the second floor, each with its own balcony overlooking the Catskills. Both are designed as true retreats, with open mountain views and spectacular sunset vistas that shift with the seasons. One suite is centered around a wood-burning fireplace, creating a particularly memorable sanctuary in colder months. Spa-like baths feature freestanding soaking tubs, vintage-inspired fixtures, and a tactile mix of stone, wood, and plaster. A lower-level media lounge adds an entirely different mood--moody, cocoon-like, and ideal for movie nights, work, or overflow guests. Practical features including a heated two-car garage, outdoor shower, and integrated firewood storage have been handled with the same thoughtful attention to design as the primary living spaces. Properties like this rarely come to market in Germantown. Equal parts architectural statement and deeply livable retreat, 249 Old Saw Mill offers something increasingly hard to find: a home with genuine soul. Just 5 minutes to the center of Germantown, 15 minutes to Hudson, and 20 minutes to Rhinebeck/Amtrak.
