Shady Rock: Narrowsburg, NY

About The Property

Completed just one year ago, Shady Rock is a modern-build trifecta - a real estate holy trinity of design, location, quality.

This is the first resale of a Modern Catskills build. Modern Catskills as upped the ante in the Catskills, building modern, custom-built, energy efficient homes in an area hungry for inventory.

The modern, contemporary design is built with both efficiency of space and energy use in mind. Low carbon footprint systems have been used for maximum efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The voluminous spaces are warmed by radiant heat in poured concrete floors. Walls and roof are super insulated using natural materials. The pine exterior cladding and interior walls were locally sourced. Bosch Series 800 appliances are Energy Star rated. Efficient split system air conditioning cools and dehumidifies the home in the summer.

Clean lines are a trademark of Modern Catskill designs. The standing seam metal roof, stained pine exterior, massive Pella windows, and buried utility lines create a dramatic first impression. The home sits comfortably in a perfect setting amongst the trees and sky. A bald eagle is a recurring guest in the lovely pine above the hot tub.

The living area’s focus is on the impact of the great wall of windows and a 24’ ceiling apex. The open concept kitchen flows into the living area, both of which feel the ever-present draw of the huge wall of windows. Huge picture windows measure an enormous 10’ wide by 7’ tall. With so much transparency in the living area, the line between the interior and the exterior seems to blur. The four seasons of Nature are ever-present.

The full bathroom is clad in Clé tiles, Kohler faucets, a stacked Electrolux washer/dryer and sleek frameless glass doors. A powder room was added to the build for additional convenience.

The heated cedar hot tub is like a personal spa. Hop in under the stars in the summer, scurry out to soak in the winter snow. A fire pit is a great area for a social gathering. The patio has a picnic table for a morning coffee or evening cocktail. There is a 10x10 outbuilding for housing gardening supplies. A whole house generator is in place to keep the house functional in the case of a power outage.

The home, set back from the road down a quaint driveway, is perfectly situated only 7 minutes to the charming and hopping village of Narrowsburg. Amazing local shops and restaurants proliferate the area including The Heron, and The Laundrette. A Bar Veloce recently opened. For really cool antiques try Maison Bourgogne and The River Gallery. A fab bookstore. Wine and gourmet groceries. Some hiking trails. An art gallery and more.
