PAGBILI NG MAY-ARI SA MGA NAPILING BUMILIH - Pumasok sa kasaysayan sa natatanging ari-arian na ito—"The Bel Air Lodge." Orihinal na itinayo noong 1898, ang kahanga-hangang tahanang ito ay nagsilbing Gatehouse/Lodge para sa grandeng Bel Air Mansion sa puso ng Glen Spey, NY. Itinuturing na dinisenyo ng kilalang arkitekto na si Henry Janeway Hardenbergh—kilala sa mga iconic na landmark sa NYC tulad ng The Dakota, The Plaza, at Waldorf Astoria—ang ari-arian na ito ay puno ng pamana at karangyaan sa arkitektura. Dati itong bahagi ng mga naka-eskultura na estate na binuo ng mga pamilyang Singer, McKenzie, at Proctor, ang makasaysayang tirahang ito ay mahusay na na-renovate mula sa mga paa hanggang sa bubong na may mga de-kalidad na detalye sa buong bahay. Ang tahanan ay may mga mataas na kisame na 9 talampakan, malalaking thermal na bintana, at isang kahanga-hangang malaking pasukan na may bukas na hagdang-bato patungo sa ikalawang palapag at isang may bubong na outdoor lodging deck. Ang malawak na pormal na salas at silid-kainan ay nakatayo sa orihinal na mga pader ng batong tore, na nagbibigay ng makasaysayang alindog na pinagsama sa modernong luho. Ang mga mahilig sa sining ay makikilala ang kasaganaan ng espasyo sa pader, perpekto para sa pagpapakita ng mga koleksyon. Ang kusina na may kisame ng katedral ay isang pangarap ng chef na may malawak na espasyo sa counter, pasadyang kahoy na kabinet, quartz countertops, at mga high-end na LG Wi-Fi-enabled, fingerprint-resistant na mga stainless steel appliances. Ang mga karagdagang tampok ay kinabibilangan ng ilalim ng kabinet na ilaw, isang seramika na backsplash, at pinainit na porselana na sahig.

Sa unang palapag, matatagpuan mo ang isang komportableng den, utility room na may malaking kapasidad na LG washer at dryer, isang napakalaking silid-kainan at sala na may electric fireplace, at isang buong banyo na may glass-enclosed na rain shower, pinainit na porselana na sahig, at may ilaw na anti-fog vanity mirrors. Sa itaas, ang pangunahing banyo ay nagtatampok ng isang kahanga-hangang orihinal na "footed cast iron bathtub," isang hand-painted na Vitus Austrian porcelain sink, at kaakit-akit na open stone walls. Ang master bedroom ay may maluwang na walk-in closet, at kaakit-akit na lugar para sa upuan sa bintana, habang ang pangalawang silid-tulugan ay may dramatikong mga pader ng katedral/piramid. Isang natatanging mas malaking silid sa itaas na may dormer ceilings at electric fireplace ang bumubuo ng isang nakakaanyayang lounge o flex space. Ang mga kisame ng natural na kahoy ay ginawa gamit ang artisanal na "shou sugi ban" burning technique. Ang tahanan ay may insulation na may kombinasyon ng closed/open-cell spray foam at sound-deadening interior wall insulation. Ang sahig sa buong bahay ay gawa sa matibay na 3/4" Blue Ridge yellow pine. Ang mga LED na ilaw na may adjustable na dimmers at color settings ay nagbibigay ng ambiance sa bawat silid. Ang Timberline HDZ shingle roof, high-end na kalahating bilog na 6" gutters, at Simonton BrickMould 600 windows ay nagsisiguro ng tibay at kahusayan. Ang kontrol sa klima ay pinangangasiwaan ng tatlong Senville na super-efficient na Wi-Fi mini-split compressors na nagpapagana ng pitong indibidwal na naaayos na indoor units, na sinusuportahan ng karagdagang Wi-Fi-enabled na electric hydronic baseboard heating. Ang malaking walk-down na basement ay nagbibigay ng potensyal para sa isang studio o workshop. Isang Rheem Wi-Fi-enabled na heat pump water heater, lahat ng bagong plumbing at electrical systems na may GFI breakers, at isang whole-house surge protector ay nagsisiguro ng nangungunang kaligtasan at pagganap. Ang maginhawang front porch ay napapalibutan ng matatandang puting pine at hemlock na mga puno at magagandang pinky winky hydrangea na mga puno. Ang maluwang na driveway ay kayang mag-accommodate ng 6+ na sasakyan, at may sapat na espasyo para sa imbakan sa attic, basement, at sa ilalim ng mga hagdang-bato. Matatagpuan na may maginhawang access sa Bethel Woods, Resorts World, Forestburgh Playhouse, Kadampa Meditation Center, Barryville Farmers Market, Ski Big Bear, The Eldred Preserve, mga restawran, ang Delaware River, at iba't ibang aktibidad sa labas, ang tahanang ito ay nag-aalok ng walang kapantay na pamumuhay.
Sa natatanging roof valleys, dramatikong pitches, masalimuot na dormers, at iconic stone tower, ang "The Bel Air Lodge" ay nakatayo bilang isang bihirang hiyas sa arkitektura—isang pambihirang pagsasama ng kasaysayan, sining, at modernong luho.
