273 Grogkill Road, Willow

Enjoy the peace and beauty of the woods from this beautifully situated, private contemporary with two bedrooms and a bonus room that could serve as guest quarters or a third bedroom. Located in Willow between Woodstock and Phoenicia, this elegant home on 3.55 acres offers seasonal mountain views and membership to a community swimming pond. Imagine driving through the forest to a soaring modern retreat with abundant light and plenty of outdoor spaces for unwinding and entertaining. In addition to the 679-square-foot wraparound deck, there are two balconies from which to enjoy nature while savoring a beverage or relaxing with a book. Inside the home, an open-plan kitchen/dining area with full bath leads to a dramatic living room featuring a cathedral ceiling and attractive stone fireplace. The forest views are stunning. Stairs lead to the primary bedroom, the bonus room, and a generous bathroom with walk-in shower and deep soaking tub. In the primary bedroom, light pours in from a skylight. Sliders lead to a private balcony. The north-facing bonus room could serve as sleeping quarters or as a studio, den, or office. (It is large enough for a desk and couch or a queen-size sofa bed.) On this level, a stacked washer and dryer are tucked away behind a closet door. Up another set of stairs is the second bedroom, which features a built-in closet and sliders to the second balcony. The home's clean lines, wood floors, and white-washed beams are reminiscent of Scandinavian design. The forest setting completes the picture. This stylish contemporary is located about 22 miles from Thruway Exit 19 and 110 miles from NYC's George Washington Bridge.
