Effortlessly unwind, revive and create in this former artist’s studio lovingly converted, using natural elements such as wood, light and metal, to a spacious Vervoordt-style three bedroom cottage just steps away from Tinker Street and the heart of Woodstock’s charming downtown. Built in 1925, this cottage retreat was once the studio of Hudson Valley painter Paul Arndt. Original stonework, soaring high ceilings, skylights in the kitchen and bedroom and wide plank pinewood floors throughout couple with thoughtful and modern touches like ‘Farrow and Ball’ painted walls and a Venetian plastered bathroom by artist Anthony Chase. The living room’s impressive stone fireplace is fitted with a Stüb Belgian insert. Light a fire and sink into the George Smith sofa. In the eat-in kitchen, custom barnwood cabinetry is stocked with Le Creuset cookware, Sabatier knives, a Nespresso coffee-maker and a cold-pressed juicer and blender. Or walk into town to dine in or take out at one of Woodstock’s storied bakeries or restaurants. Two light-flooded master bedrooms, with a king and queen bed respectively, lie adjacent to an office/third bedroom. Two full baths, one with a large claw-foot bathtub and the other with a shower and bath. The sunlit, screened in porch with its cathedral style ceilings is a perfect spot to practice yoga, read, meditate or simply take in the beauty of the Michael Trapp landscape-designed property. Equally restorative, is a low EMF Sunlighten far-infrared sauna which completes the self-care package. Experience nearby skiing, hiking and swimming holes or use the cottage’s two mountain bikes to stay active. For that which we can’t predict or control, the cottage has an emergency generator.
