Property Description
Welcome to 20 Handy’s Walk – a true contemporary barn combining a modern aesthetic with vintage charm, epic expansive views, pool and total privacy. Nestled on Overlook mountain, minutes from Woodstock, renovated down to the studs, featuring a Swedish Minimal aesthetic, old barn beams, walls of glass, high-end fittings, a gorgeous heated saline pool and spectacular wild mountain views from every room. History: It all started in 1973 when three enterprising young men had the vision to create a hand-made house from local materials by local craftsmen – featured in the book "Handmade Woodstock". Fast forward to 2020, when another artist/design team relived that vision, with high-end materials and hand-crafted work to achieve a woodsy, comfortable, classic American mountain home for today’s living. What you will LOVE about this House: The sense of privacy, luxury and views, with the comfort of knowing that Woodstock is but a few minutes away. There is a truly calming effect, whether sitting around the pool or the upper deck, all you see is the vastness of sky and mountains, in all directions and the sounds of nature, leaving you in awe that such a paradise even exists today. Design Vision: The owners' design and build team wanted to stay true to the original vision, materiality, minimalism in an authentic handmade barn using materials dating back to 1817, built around an amazing three-story, 10 foot wide stone fireplace. They wanted to keep the backdrop all about that! "In the end I think we achieved something that feels like a true Woodstock classic with some touches of glam you might see in the Hamptons." The Details: Historic A-line Anderson windows and 8ft sliders throughout, a master roof builder rebuilt the roof with wood and copper, real clapboard for the exterior, shiplap walls and v-groove ceilings, and Swedish made engineered white oak flooring with a perfectly weathered look for all the floors. A good amount of blue stone, stone walls and gardens with exterior lanterns from Restoration Hardware instill a sense of a timelessness. Heating, AC, plumbing and electric are all new. You will love the gourmet kitchen with top of the line appliances from Bertazzoni, stone counters, heavy-gage brass fittings, aged bronze door knobs and lighting by SchoolHouse Electric. Upstairs The extraordinary third level has original beams, cathedral ceilings, and an architecturally interesting cupola for star gazing. The huge master bedroom/sitting room suite boasts a huge picture picture window perfectly framing uninterrupted mountains views for you to wake up to. The bathroom is incredible! Built into one of the peaks of the house with a free standing jet spa tub, a large glass shower, stone floor, large pedestal sink, beautiful lighting. On the pool level, two additional bedrooms - one with built in gas fireplace, a bathroom with vintage charm and touches of glam, laundry room and walk out to the heated pool and bluestone outdoor living area! You can see the mountains all around you. The inside/outside living approach provides the last “pause of civilization” in the face of all the wilderness and views beyond. And yes! There is the adjacent garage with magical views! Imagine a guest house, gym, yoga, music or artist studio.
