25 Rock Ridge RD New Paltz, NY 12561

Total serenity is the feeling you get no matter where you are at 25 Rock Ridge. Surrounded by nature's beauty, the landscape and gardens are the first to welcome you. The craftsmanship and attention to detail make this a truly special home. A thoughtful and impeccable addition in 2010 created a chef's dream kitchen and a dining room which leads out onto a bluestone patio which is enveloped with rose bushes, hydrangeas and more! This classic, yet modern kitchen boasts a large center island with a soapstone countertop and provides plenty of space for all your entertaining needs. No expense was spared creating the heart of this home, from the custom white cabinets with marble countertops and glistening hardwood floors to the high end appliances the Wolf dual fuel stove, Sub Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and a beverage fridge, every detail was thoughtfully planned. Center stage in the living room is a gas fireplace and vaulted ceiling looking up to the 2nd floor loft area. Perhaps the best room in the house is the owner's favorite, the "stove room", as it is affectionately called. Named for the wood burning stove that creates many cozy nights by the fire, the room is surrounded on 3 sides by large windows, sliding and french doors. It's in this room where you can sit and watch the forest and your gardens come alive, for every season of the year you have a gorgeous view, and every evening a sunset to help you wind down from your day. The primary suite upstairs ,with its cathedral ceiling, feels like you're up in the trees. Laying in bed, you can gaze out the window and be greeted in the mornings by magenta roses and the most abundant hydrangeas I've ever seen! Off the bedroom is the en-suite bath, also renovated in 2010, with radiant floor heat to create a truly luxurious spa-like feel. On the other side of the 2nd floor is the loft area which overlooks the living room and leads out to a small deck, along with the 2 other bedrooms and shared bath. Downstairs just off the entrance is another full bath and a large room with beautiful built-in cabinets, currently used as the den but could be used a 4th bedroom/office etc. Don't worry about guest space, at 25 Rock Ridge your guests can retire comfortably to their own cozy getaway, the 1000 sq ft apartment above the custom 3 car garage. There, you'll find a gas fireplace, kitchenette, full bath and spacious bedroom large enough to fit 2 queen sized beds comfortably. Rare to find a retreat so privately tucked away but conveniently located to New Paltz and Kingston with their shops, restaurants, art galleries, farmers markets plus a short ride to Minneswaska State Park, Mohonk Preserve and the Walkway Over the Hudson, plus only 20 mins to Metro North and you're just under 2 hours from NYC.
