Modern style with a cozy vibe: This newly overhauled Modern Cabin retreat features a long list of everyone's must-have amenities, all in a secluded and highly sought-after area minutes from both Uptown Kingston and the villages of Hurley and Stone Ridge. 193 Cantine Road is approached from a private but paved half-mile road shaded by evergreens. The effect is that of a journey through an ancient forest, and once reached, the house itself fully lives up to the anticipation. Sited beautifully on a ridge overlooking open meadows, a seasonal stream and hundreds of acres of surrounding woods, the house takes full advantage of nature from all three levels of indoor and outdoor living. Entered through a cathedral-ceilinged foyer with a soaring bluestone chimney, the ground floor is bright and open, featuring a roomy gourmet kitchen, living and dining spaces and a full bathroom, all wrapped by a deck with hot tub, overlooking a new in-ground heated pool. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a stunning full bath, with access to a spa-like shower directly from the primary suite. The finishes throughout, including exposed rafters, handmade oversized tiles, modern dutch doors and wrought-iron railings, are stylish without being cookie cutter. And the vibe extends seamlessly to the walk-out partially finished basement level, with its polished concrete floors and room for extra guests. There's even an additional unfinished 500-square-foot storage room, also with a concrete floor. Heating and air-conditioning systems are all updated and state-of-the-art energy efficient, and the house also boasts a 17-KwH Generac whole-house generator with a 1,000-gallon propane tank. Outside are the 2-year-old heated saltwater pool, a large pea-gravelled gathering space with fire pit, a greenhouse, a charming new sauna with view, and no less than two outdoor showers, all integrated skillfully with the landscape, the decks and the home's interior. The feel is sophisticated yet warm, and provides a true move-in-ready opportunity, with no renovation required, only two hours from NYC and minutes by car to Uptown Kingston and other popular Hudson Valley attractions.
