Tucked away on a picturesque stretch of land just outside the Village of Rhinebeck, this contemporary retreat blends warmth, character, and effortless Hudson Valley living. Surrounded by mature trees, rolling lawn, and a peaceful pond setting, the property feels private and serene while still being close to some of the area's most beloved destinations. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings, skylights, and a wood-burning stove anchor the dramatic great room, creating a space that feels both expansive and inviting. Large windows and deck access bring the outdoors in, making the home ideal for cozy weekends, entertaining, or simply enjoying the changing seasons. The home offers an easy spacious layout with thoughtfully designed living spaces throughout. A renovated kitchen features quartz countertops, Omega cabinetry, subway tile, Brazilian hardwood flooring, and a center island perfect for casual dining or gathering with friends. Just off the main living area, an intimate den offers a quieter space to unwind or watch TV. Two bedrooms plus office or flex room and two full baths are located on the main floor, while upstairs you'll find a spacious primary suite. A spiral staircase in the primary leads to a versatile lofted retreat, an ideal space for a studio, home office, or meditation and yoga area. A two-car garage with workshop space and an efficient split heating and cooling system round out the home's practical comforts. Ideally suited for weekend escapes or use as a short-term rental investment, furnishings may be included for a turnkey opportunity. (*Buyers are encouraged to verify short-term rental regulations with the local municipality.) Perfectly positioned in the hamlet of Staasburg, the property is less than 10 minutes to the villages of Rhinebeck and Hyde Park and moments from local favorites including Culinary Institute of America, Omega Institute, Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, Val-Kill, Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site, and Poets' Walk Park. With hiking, history, dining, and outdoor recreation all nearby - plus Hyde Park Swim & Tennis club just down the road - this is the kind of home that captures the relaxed, design-forward lifestyle so many buyers are searching for in the Hudson Valley.
