Wallkill, NY 12589

On a large, private property set deep in the woods, this striking modern home is a study in contrast: a clean, simple geometry embraced by the entrancing disarray of nature. Defined by its strong lines and bold palette, the structure is wrapped in eye-catching metal roof and siding above angled, dark wood slats. The meticulously designed, minimalist landscaping showcases long, wooden planter boxes that create a boundary between the cultivated interior and untamed land beyond. A wide pea gravel path leading to an expansive patio and oversized steps to the front door. As the sun sets over the vernal pool, solar lamps cast a warm glow around the perimeter, and the terrace transforms into a magical space perfect for entertaining or sitting quietly listening to the frogs and ducks. Step inside and you will find an expansive open-concept floor plan, where 10-foot ceilings add palpable volume to the space. A bank of 8-foot-tall windows in the living-dining areas allow plentiful natural light and a spectacular view of the grassy hill, tree line, and sky to the south and the vernal pool to the west; the living space truly feels connected to the outdoors. It is hard to overstate the significance of the tall ceilings and big windows. Floors are solid hardwood throughout. Doors are 8' tall heavy solid core in metal casings. The spacious custom kitchen opens to the rest of the common area with a U-shaped countertop with a deep overhang for bar seating, an inviting place to hang out and chat while cooking. The generous storage and counter space are organized to optimize efficiency, including large pantry cabinets, double bin pullout trash, and vertical tray storage. Corian countertops and vertical grain Scandinavian Oak laminate on the cabinet fronts are both beautiful and easy to maintain. The back ensuite bedroom is well-lit and roomy with a generous closet. The attached full bath has high-end, modern fixtures, including modern glass shower door and wood vanity. The front bedroom is equally large, bright, and air with an extra-large closet offers shelving on both sides of the hanging rod. Between the bedrooms in the side wing lies the laundry room and second bathroom, separating them for privacy. This bathroom has a tub/shower and wood vanity. Both baths have wood-inspired ceramic tile flooring, white subway tile surrounds around the shower, and sizable windows. The third bedroom is comfortably sized for a queen bed or would make a great office or den, set apart from the other two, with its entry by the back door across from the kitchen. The large windows bring in a beautiful natural light. The attic is accessed through a drop-down ladder and gives plenty of dry storage space. Kynar coated metal siding and metal roof with galvalume finish are durable and low maintenance. Windows are commercial grade 1/2" low-e double glazed lites with maintenance free anodized aluminum frames. The circular driveway gives an easy turn-around and plenty of parking space. LP gas heat is augmented by substantial solar gain in the winter from the bank of windows with full southern exposure. Electric lines and Verizon FIOS high speed internet are trenched underground. Central AC. While offering a blissfully quiet escape, Vernal Pond House remains conveniently close to the Hudson Valley's celebrated cultural and natural destinations and regional transit corridors. 60 minutes to the GWB; 15-20 minutes to Beacon Station; 10 minutes to I87 and I84. *Vernal Pond House is one of three homes designed and crafted by Forest Modern, a design-build team with 25 years of experience delivering bespoke architectural millwork for luxury custom interiors.
