Property Description

Inside Swoop House there is a versatile floor plan that includes four en suite bedrooms, one an attached guest suite, and two two-story great rooms, one of which was designed as a professional art studio. Designed by FT Architecture & Interiors and inspired by the Diller Scofidio Slow House, two non-parallel curved walls and sloping ceilings create a graceful series of shapes. This singular residence is sited at the end of a long driveway on Overlook, having 16 peaceful and private acres. This property provides you with both distant and intimate mountain views. It borders thousands of acres of pristine NY State land, while being located just five minutes from the village of Woodstock. The first story has a spacious two-story entry with a walk-in closet and Brazilian cumaru wood flooring. There is a great room with a 40-foot-long curved northern wall providing ample room for art displays, as well as a row of 10 large picture windows above. The room is anchored by a wood burning fireplace with a 15-foot blanca perlino Italian marble hearth. Floor-to-ceiling windows face South, where glass doors lead to a walkway and a series of outdoor spaces. The gourmet kitchen boasts top of the line Bosch and Wolf appliances, as well as a built in Sub-Zero refrigerator, a stone countertop, and a butler's pantry with a sink and a second refrigerator. The kitchen door leads out onto an expansive two story screened porch designed for dining and lounging, and the 40-foot outdoor deck, with black locust wood decking, where you can host dinner parties among the treetops. Two of the four well appointed en suite bedrooms are located on either end of the first floor. One has a walk-in closet, and a private entrance that opens out onto one of several native bluestone patios, surrounded by perennial gardens with a hot tub. Its spacious bathroom has a dressing area and an oversized Brazilian stone shower. Adjacent to the kitchen and the screened porch is a second bedroom with adjoining full bath. Leading to the primary bedroom suite, an open staircase provides views of the great room and outdoors from above. At the top of the stairs there is access to a south facing balcony. Here you can soak up sunshine and views year round while staying protected from the elements. The primary bedroom suite has two walls of floor to ceiling windows, a walk-in closet, an ensuite bathroom with a shower, and a walk-through room for a jetted tub. From here one can step outdoors onto a serene sleeping porch on a loft within the two-story screened porch
