Napakaganda ng pagkaka-renovate at inaalok para sa unang pagkakataon mula sa kanyang kumpletong pagbabago, ang natatanging tahanan sa tabi ng lawa na ito na may tanawin ng Maiden Lake ay matatagpuan sa loob ng mabenta na komunidad ng Fern Hill at nag-aalok ng pinong disenyo, privacy, at madaling indoor-outdoor na pamumuhay. Ang bahay ay natatakpan ng mainit na natural na cedar siding, na nagbibigay ng walang panahong karakter habang sumasamang maayos sa nakapaligid na tanawin. Ang Maiden Lake ay isang shared pond na pinananatili ng Fern Hill HOA na may pribadong access sa paglangoy. Nakaupo sa isang tahimik na rural na daan sa labas lamang ng maliit na bayan ng Hawthorne Valley, ang ari-arian ay ilang minuto mula sa Great Barrington, Massachusetts, malapit sa mga respetadong pribadong paaralan, at nag-aalok ng maginhawang access sa Taconic Parkway at Albany International Airport, na nagpapadali ng paglalakbay mula sa New York, Boston, at Connecticut. Ang maingat na disenyo ng bahay ay may maraming pribadong suite ng kwarto, mataas na kisame, at malawak na nakasagap na mga living space. Ang mga interior finishes ay nagtatampok ng natitirang mga likas na materyales at pagkakagawa, kabilang ang white oak flooring sa pangunahing mga living area, cherry cabinetry, soapstone kitchen countertops, French oak stairs, at isang custom na single-stringer stair na may itim na steel beam, itim na steel railing, at white oak banister. Ang mga bedroom suite ay may maple flooring, habang ang itaas na loft, opisina, o studio ay may malalapad na pine floors. Ang custom na wainscoting at isang dedikadong linen closet ay nagsisilbi sa pasilyo ng bedroom suite. Ang bukas na pangunahing living area ay nakasentro sa isang maayos na inayos na kitchen ng chef na may oversized dining island at karagdagang puwang para sa pagkain. Ang mga premium stainless steel appliances ay kasama ang Bosch wall oven, Thermador gas cooktop, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, KitchenAid dishwasher, at Zephyr range hood. Ang mga banyo ay nagtatampok ng puting subway tile, marble sink countertops, rain at hand-shower fixtures, at wood-grained porcelain tile flooring. Ang tahanan ay puno ng liwanag at ginhawa sa pamamagitan ng Marvin triple-pane windows at mga pinto na may built-in shades, automated skylights, at thermal skylight shades. Ang mga ceiling fan, insulated thermic shades, at remote-operated skylights ay nagpapahusay ng energy efficiency at airflow. Maraming nakatalagang lugar para sa opisina sa bahay ang sumusuporta sa flexible na modernong pamumuhay. Ang buong taon na ginhawa ay ibinibigay ng energy-efficient heat pump system na may heating at cooling, radiant heated floors sa pangunahing mga living area at pangunahing banyo, at isang hiwalay na gas furnace na nagsisilbi sa likurang bahagi ng bahay. Isang whole house backup generator ang nagbibigay ng karagdagang kapayapaan ng isip. Ang mga karagdagang upgrade ay kinabibilangan ng high-efficiency insulation, ganap na na-update na plumbing at electrical systems, isang 400-amp electric service, at ethernet outlets. Ang isang gas fireplace ay nagdadala ng init sa pangunahing living space. Ang laundry room ay may cherry cabinetry at Bosch stackable washer at dryer units. Ang entry mudroom ay may brick floor, bluestone bench seating, antique wood beams, isang Buderus na radiator na estilo ng Europeo, maraming bintana at skylights, at masaganang imbakan. Ang mga landscaped grounds ay may perennial gardens, bluestone walkways, copper gutters at drainspouts, selective fencing na angkop para sa maliliit na hayop o manok, at fenced raised-bed gardens. Ang isang kaakit-akit na barn ay may luxury sauna para sa tatlo hanggang apat na tao na may Amerec SaunaLogic controller at Laava series heater. Ang outdoor living ay natatangi, na may malawak na wraparound Brazilian walnut deck, isang maluwang na gazebo na may malawak na tanawin ng lawa, isang karagdagang deck na may tanawin sa tubig, at isang dock. Ang mga destinasyon ng kultura tulad ng mga gallery sa Hudson, Art Omi, Tanglewood, at Jacob's Pillow ay malapit, kasama na ang skiing sa Catamount, Jiminy Peak, at Butternut. Ang pinakamabuti sa lahat, ang Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School at ang kilalang Hawthorne Valley Farm Store—na nagtatampok ng pinakamataas na kalidad ng lokal, organic, at biodynamic na pagkain—ay ilang hakbang lamang ang layo sa pamamagitan ng paglalakad o bisikleta.
