47 Spaulding Lane, Saugerties, NY 12477

Welcome to the absolute dream of upstate living. For a weekend getaway or full-time residence, this unique property offers incredible design, unparalleled privacy, and astounding river frontage and views but is just 5 mins to the village of Saugerties with loads of amenities and under 2 hours to the George Washington Bridge! This mid-century modern gem was given a new life by an award-winning European architectural designer for his private use, with thoughtful details that are a mix of comfortable, serene, and honestly jaw-dropping. The 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home features a multi-level living space with floor to ceiling windows that let tons of natural light to flood into the space. The main level features vaulted ceilings with a large open eat-in kitchen — with its own kitchen garden courtyard! — and a half bath. Doors lead out to a covered bluestone patio and a second outdoor space strung with fairy lights looking out over the Hudson. A cozy sunken living room with custom upholstery and the original wood stone fireplace with a Wittus stove inset speaks to another time. A custom steel hanging shelf is where you can put your projector for cozy movie nights by the fire. Steps up to the second level bring you to the formal dining area, which also has a doorway out to a series of large decks — with stadium seating in between — for outdoor dining entertaining. The hallway leads to the spectacular primary suite, with a custom king-sized bed and Bisazza bathtub plus more of those priceless river views. Behind a hidden door in the wood-paneled wall, you enter to find a black marble bathroom with Marcel Wanders-designed sinks, an oversized shower with yet more river views, a large walk-in closet, and your own private balcony. This floor also has two generous bedrooms, lots of built-in storage, plus a full bathroom that's partially a remnant of the mid-century past. The lower level has a separate entrance, giving you untold options for a home business, guest accommodations, au pair suite, and more. There's another bedroom, full bathroom, large yoga studio/gym (which could easily be reconverted to a garage), and home office with a meditative zen garden/courtyard. The exterior spaces are where you really get to play and relax in this property! Follow the pathway made up of custom cast circular cement pavers to discover an stunning inground pool surrounded by wood decking with built-in seating and lounge chairs. As you walk down the hill and through the meadow, a hidden gem awaits at the river's edge — a charming simple glass room at the point, built from materials repurposed from the renovation. This magical escape has room to cast a kayak or simply enjoy the peace of the waterfront. This extraordinary home is perfectly private yet conveniently located mins from the village of Saugerties and close to many other great towns: 15 mins to Woodstock, 15 mins to Kingston, 20 mins to Catskill, under 40 mins to Hunter Mountain or Hudson, and just 96 miles from the GWB.
