This Woodstock residence is one for the design-savvy folk. Once a studio belonging to acclaimed realist painter Reginald Marsh, the space has been transformed into a stunning family home. It was proudly featured in Italy's Icon Design Magazine for its attention to detail and considered use of elegant and characterful materials. We loved the living space, particularly the expansive ceilings, enormous windows and integration of concrete and wood. Rise and shine to picturesque views of the beautiful garden. Relax on the outdoor day bed, which looks out over the legendary Indian Head mountain ridge, have a picnic by the swimming pond, surrounded by juniper trees and century-old cedars, or follow the burbling stream into the woods. Then later, gather around the fire pit. Whatever you decide to do, this home invites you to slow down the pace in style. If you'd like to explore further afield, lace-up your boots and take a drive out to a hiking trail – the Indian Head Wilderness and the Bluestone Wild Forest are no more than fifteen minutes away.

About Woodstock (NY)

The slower pace of life here is an excellent antidote to the frenetic energy of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
