A Renovated Mid-Century Retreat in the Hudson Valley

Tucked into rolling acreage, this late-1940s compound unfolds like a private hamlet, three thoughtfully renovated structures surrounded by gardens, forest, and open sky.

The 2,700-square-foot main house anchors the property, joined by a two-story guest cottage and a cabin-style pool house, each fully outfitted with modern comforts while honoring their rustic roots.

An in-ground pool glimmers beside a fenced wildflower garden, while a barn, mature trees, and acres of ecologically rich woodland stretch out in every direction, creating a sense of total immersion in the landscape.

The main house balances openness and intimacy with remarkable ease. Designed for both lively gatherings and quiet retreats, the home is filled with natural light and a relaxed, welcoming energy.

The double-height living and dining room is flooded with light from morning to dusk and centers around an original fireplace with built-in wood storage.

A cozy media room is decorated with a colorful rug and a large brown sofa.

The small home office is decorated with a midcentury desk and botanical wallpaper. I don’t think it is the same as the Botanica wallpaper from Sandberg, but it is very similar.

The beautifully renovated kitchen blends character and functionality. Terracotta radiant-heat tile floors ground the space, while a charcoal AGA range, hand-painted tile backsplash, and brand-new appliances elevate it.

Built-in cabinetry and a pantry provide abundant storage.

A cozy breakfast nook, tucked into the corner with large windows, looks out toward the pool and a stately, timeworn catalpa tree.

The utility room is a practical space with a slate floor, green-painted paneling, and a sink.

The mudroom features slate floors, warm wood paneling, a long peg rail and bench, and an oversized closet ready for coats, boots, and outdoor gear.

Upstairs, the views take center stage. The primary suite enjoys sweeping, unobstructed vistas across the Mid-Hudson Valley’s hills and mountains, turning sunrise and sunset into daily rituals.

The en-suite bathroom is decorated in a soft blue palette, featuring a freestanding bath, a separate shower, a blue Scandinavian Kilim rug, and light blue paneling.

Just beyond the pool sits the cabin, a delightfully flexible space currently serving as both pool house and sleepover headquarters for the youngest generation.

Green-painted floors, peg rails, built-in shelving, and vaulted ceilings with thick wooden beams give it an instant sense of character. A kitchenette, full bath, and cozy loft make it equally suited for reimagining, as an art studio, a secluded office, or refined guest quarters.

A meandering stone path leads from the main house to the two-story cottage, a self-contained retreat with pine floors, exposed beams, a kitchenette, and a full bath.

With ample room for living, sleeping, and storage, it’s ideal for extended stays, creative work, or hosting guests who appreciate a bit of independence.
