In-Person: 09/05 12:00 AM - 2:00 PMDo you want a house which takes care of you, or do you want to take care of a house? If it's the former, then come to 397 Viewmont, Germantown, a newly completed 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home with 4,100 square feet of above-grade living space, plus 1,100 square feet of finished lower-level space, on 6.86 private acres. Everything is new, including the systems, finishes, and appliances. Designed by a Hudson Valley artist, the house has a classically proportioned exterior with a nod to historic Hudson Valley architecture, but inside it feels open, airy, and full of light. At the center of the house is a dramatic great room with 30-foot cathedral ceilings, an upper-level loft overlooking the room, and a three-tiered south-facing wall of windows. Natural light comes in throughout the day, and a fireplace makes the large room still feel warm and comfortable. The chef's kitchen was designed for real use as much as for entertaining, with Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Miele induction range, two dishwashers, a second refrigerator, a microwave drawer, and a wet bar with an under-counter beverage cooler. The bathrooms are equally generous, including two soaking tubs and an 11-foot double shower. The first-floor primary suite includes two walk-in closets and an oversized bath, while a large laundry and mudroom add everyday convenience. The lower level adds close to 1,100 square feet of open space with oak floors, easily suited for a media room, gym, office, studio, or guest overflow. Subject to town approvals and buyer verification, the property may also offer two-family potential. Geothermal Heating and cooling, abundant natural light, and an all-electric setup mean the house lives comfortably and efficiently, with no Fossil Fuels used for heating or cooling. Set just two hours north of New York City in historic Germantown, the home is 15 minutes from Amtrak in Hudson and about 20 minutes from Rhinebeck. Private but not remote, substantial without feeling overwhelming, this is a truly turnkey Germantown house that offers space, light, comfort, and proximity to town without the burden of a project. Make it your home, where you can enjoy nature, create, write, rest, garden, gather, and more.
