Property Description

This is Straylight, an architect-designed retreat steeped in modernist history. Built in 2009, in collaboration with renowned architect Ralph Rapson (notably part of the Case Study Houses Program in 1945 - more info on our website), with considerable extensions in 2017. The setting is six dreamy acres nestled into the forests and rivers of the Black Forest Club's private 2,000 acre park, and only 80 miles to New York City. The house presents as both modern and minimal while remaining creative and playful. An all-glass breezeway serves as the entry point. To the left lies the open plan living space, featuring an extensive kitchen, dining and living areas. The living room, anchored by a wood stove, is flooded with golden afternoon light thanks to its crown jewel—a coveted wall of windows leading to an expansive sun deck, outdoor dining and fire pit. Colorful doors off the living room provide access to a shared full bathroom (with a charming outdoor shower accessible through a second door) and two guest bedrooms. To the right of the breezeway is the primary suite—featuring a bedroom, charming en suite bathroom, private living room with its own deck, and a large dressing area currently used as a ceramic studio. The breezeway also houses an extensive mudroom, storage, and a laundry closet. The lower level contains the fourth guest bedroom, an attractive full bathroom, a large workspace/exercise room, and a tidy utility room. For those needing additional space, the property offers two garages and an extensive second basement perfect for creative endeavors, home projects, or storage. In addition to the sun decks, outdoor dining and fire pit, the immediate grounds also feature a raised bed garden, playground and woods to explore. For further adventuring, Straylight is part of the Black Forest Club, a sought after private community offering residents exclusive access to 1,100 acres of mapped hiking trails, swimming holes, stunning ravines, fishing, and four-season fun.
