Ito ang Straylight, isang retreat na dinisenyo ng arkitekto na puno ng modernist na kasaysayan. Itinayo noong 2009, sa pakikipagtulungan sa kilalang arkitektong si Ralph Rapson (na kilalang bahagi ng Case Study Houses Program noong 1945 - higit pang impormasyon sa aming website), na may malalaking pagpapalawak noong 2017. Ang lokasyon ay anim na nakakaakit na ektarya na nakahimlay sa mga gubat at ilog ng pribadong 2,000 ektaryang parke ng Black Forest Club, at 80 milya lamang mula sa New York City. Ang bahay ay nagtatanyag ng modern at minimal na disenyo habang nananatiling malikhaing at mapaglaro. Ang isang buong salamin na breezeway ay nagsisilbing punto ng pagpasok. Sa kaliwa ay ang bukas na plano ng living space, na nagtatampok ng isang malawak na kusina, dining at living areas. Ang living room, na nakadikit sa isang wood stove, ay pinasiksik ng gintong liwanag ng hapon salamat sa kanyang crown jewel—isang pinapangarap na dingding ng mga bintana na nagdadala sa isang malawak na sun deck, outdoor dining at fire pit. Ang makukulay na pinto mula sa living room ay nagbibigay ng access sa isang shared na kumpletong banyo (na may kaakit-akit na outdoor shower na maabot sa pamamagitan ng pangalawang pinto) at dalawang guest bedrooms. Sa kanan ng breezeway ay ang pangunahing suite—na naglalaman ng isang silid-tulugan, kaakit-akit na en suite na banyo, pribadong living room na may sariling deck, at isang malaking dressing area na kasalukuyang ginagamit bilang ceramic studio. Ang breezeway ay mayroon ding malawak na mudroom, storage, at laundry closet. Ang mababang antas ay naglalaman ng ikaapat na guest bedroom, isang kaakit-akit na kumpletong banyo, isang malaking workspace/exercise room, at isang maayos na utility room. Para sa mga nangangailangan ng karagdagang espasyo, ang bahay ay nag-aalok ng dalawang garages at isang malawak na pangalawang basement na perpekto para sa mga malikhaing gawain, proyekto sa bahay, o storage. Bilang karagdagan sa mga sun decks, outdoor dining at fire pit, ang agarang paligid ay nagtatampok din ng isang raised bed garden, playground at mga gubat na pwedeng tuklasin. Para sa karagdagang pakikipagsapalaran, ang Straylight ay bahagi ng Black Forest Club, isang hinahangad na pribadong komunidad na nag-aalok sa mga residente ng eksklusibong access sa 1,100 ektarya ng mga naka-map na hiking trails, swimming holes, mga kahanga-hangang lambak, pangingisda, at kasiyahan sa apat na panahon.

This is Straylight, an architect-designed retreat steeped in modernist history. Built in 2009, in collaboration with renowned architect Ralph Rapson (notably part of the Case Study Houses Program in 1945 - more info on our website), with considerable extensions in 2017. The setting is six dreamy acres nestled into the forests and rivers of the Black Forest Club's private 2,000 acre park, and only 80 miles to New York City. The house presents as both modern and minimal while remaining creative and playful. An all-glass breezeway serves as the entry point. To the left lies the open plan living space, featuring an extensive kitchen, dining and living areas. The living room, anchored by a wood stove, is flooded with golden afternoon light thanks to its crown jewel—a coveted wall of windows leading to an expansive sun deck, outdoor dining and fire pit. Colorful doors off the living room provide access to a shared full bathroom (with a charming outdoor shower accessible through a second door) and two guest bedrooms. To the right of the breezeway is the primary suite—featuring a bedroom, charming en suite bathroom, private living room with its own deck, and a large dressing area currently used as a ceramic studio. The breezeway also houses an extensive mudroom, storage, and a laundry closet. The lower level contains the fourth guest bedroom, an attractive full bathroom, a large workspace/exercise room, and a tidy utility room. For those needing additional space, the property offers two garages and an extensive second basement perfect for creative endeavors, home projects, or storage. In addition to the sun decks, outdoor dining and fire pit, the immediate grounds also feature a raised bed garden, playground and woods to explore. For further adventuring, Straylight is part of the Black Forest Club, a sought after private community offering residents exclusive access to 1,100 acres of mapped hiking trails, swimming holes, stunning ravines, fishing, and four-season fun. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
