10 South Mountain Pond Philipstown, NY 10524

Relax, refresh, and rejuvenate in this Nature Lovers' Sanctuary surrounded by babbling brooks and a fern-and-moss woodland garden. Set on two bucolic acres, the attractive two-story shingle and stone residence with contemporary accents offers privacy and the soothing sounds of nature--not traffic! Walk to several hiking trails in a sought-after neighborhood in verdant Garrison while also enjoying the convenience of being close to shopping, schools, and myriad entertainment and cultural options. Like Manitoga nature preserve, the home is encircled by a tranquil landscape created by an artist. A second forested acre awaits your creativity, ie, for a children's tree house above a small pond, writer's cabin, or other. With 2,696 square feet, the 3 bedroom and 2.5 bath residence's open design invites a wonderful flow. Amenities include: beamed cathedral ceiling and cozy wood-burning stove in the upper level living room, light-filled den with built-in bookshelves, and renovated kitchens and bathrooms. Savor the stream and frog pond below the master bedroom and adjoining deck. An expansive 800-square foot upper deck provides inspiring woodland views in every direction and a serene background for entertaining. The first floor provides flexible spaces for families as well as professionals and creatives working from home, and/or a MIL unit with its own private deck. With easy access to Metro-North train, New York City is a short commute away, offering the perfect balance between peaceful country living and urban excitement.
