This intriguing, secluded Catskill JEWEL is nestled carefully among the trees up the pristine Scudder Hill road outside Roxbury, NY. Beautiful southwestern VIEWS of the surrounding MOUNTAINS and the peace of a wooded RETREAT make this an ideal opportunity for a weekend GET-AWAY, or even an intimate EVENT SPACE. The dramatic building is designed to express a spiritual SERENITY like a Bavarian mountain villa or prayer center, but with an emphasis on year-round ENTERTAINING -- indoors and out. Imagine warm summer days, with friends and family on the expansive decks. Or take in all autumn, winter and spring have to offer from the comfort of the rooms adjoining the DECK. The WALL OF GLASS doors is truly impressive as it allows light and air to flow gently through the house. An entrance with enormous HAND-CARVED twin doors -- each over 8' tall - beckons you in. The SPACIOUS KITCHEN with a pass-through to the formal dining area makes for superior entertaining. A large kitchen ISLE has a deep sink, and a Jenn-Aire range top. And there is a 2ND SINK and a 2ND RANGE and oven with overhead microwave. Large wrap-around counters mean preparations can happen on a grand scale. And yet, again, a 2ND microwave. Illuminating lights boxed above the cabinets around the kitchen, plus recessed ceiling lights, mean the kitchen can be as bright as the stage of a TV cooking show! The master-complex includes a gas-log fireplace, jetted hot tub room, private deck with outdoor shower, a separate walk-in closet with built-in shelving, and a shower. 3 sets of glass doors open onto the GRAND DECK. A 2ND bedroom, on this level, offers its own deck, en-suite bath, numerous mirrored closets for tons of storage. Downstairs, you find a 2ND apartment with FULL BATH, center sitting room (needs carpet), and an additional bedroom/kitchenette. A massive utility room offers easy access to boiler, laundry room, water heater and the jetted tub services, as well as tremendous storage with built-in shelving. The well-designed driveway permits easy access to the main floor from the upper drive, while keeping vehicles neatly stored below on the lower drive. A large heated 2-car garage with electric roll-up doors gives access to house via the lower level. The property is ideally positioned to enjoy all the Catskills offer including hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, sailing, kayaking & canoeing. Close to skiing, antiquing, arts & culture, farmers markets & hip eateries the home is less than 2.5 hours from the GWB.
