Luxury rooted in simplicity: an outstanding Madderlake-designed contemporary with 180-degree views of the Hudson River. Perched on six acres, high on a hill in Garrison, this 7,000 square foot wow house is approached via a long scenic driveway that opens up to a recently expanded and sleekly landscaped front garden. Bathed in celestial golden light, the recently upgraded floor-to-ceiling, energy-efficient glass walls and doors and new wrap-around deck afford what all agree are insane sunsets year-round. With its 10-foot white-washed ceilings, mix of rich woods and polished concrete and epic indoor pool wing, this recently gut-renovated monument to minimalism is regularly rented for celebrity and high fashion shoots. The sun-drenched open-plan first floor redefines flexibility, starting with a chefs kitchen (its original owner was cookbook author and Vogue food columnist Barbara Kafka) that flaunts copious flame maple cabinetry, oversized butcher block counters, vintage farmhouse sink and stunning oculus skylight. Theres a seamless flow between kitchen, dining room with sliding glass doors to the deck, and great room with wood burning fireplace and modernist marble mantel. A first floor primary suite, walled with glass, offers a walk-in cedar closet and spa bath. (Even the soaking tub has ravishing river views.) A sundrenched office with double-exposure glass walls completes this floor. Infinite options for leisure and the luxe lifestyle on the natural-light-filled lower level. The great room/media room, gleaming with polished terrazzo-style concrete floors, has a woodburning fireplace with custom maple mantel (easily accommodating a big screen), a spacious guest suite with spa bath and boutique-hotel caliber sauna. Two additional bedrooms, stylish full baths and office/artist studio/gym flex space complete this level. Step out into a moss-covered Zen garden from a glass-walled hallway on your way to the pool annex. The sunlit, meticulously-maintained sandstone pool enables owners to live the tropical spa life in every season. Even the location is a luxury: minutes to Metro-North and the Palisades Parkway and the 50-minute drive to Manhattan. No shortage of excellent art options and culinary delights between nearby DIA Beacon and Storm King sculpture park, and the recently restored 18th century ever-beloved Bird and Bottle Inn and restaurant.
