Description

Welcome to Catskills Suburban - where efficiency meets modern fabulousness! Built in the late 2000's, this energy conscious custom pre-fab home by RES4 (Resolution: 4 Architecture) is as cool as the day it was completed, complementing the beautiful 1.9 acres of quiet Catskills forest it occupies, and bringing a modern aesthetic to Greene County. RES4 is a NYC design firm whose work you might recognize from the dunes of Long Island or from THE ORIGINAL Dwell House. They, offer an option of 'Mass Customization' to the single-family housing market, thereby transforming the sub-urban fabric of the domestic American landscape. RES4's prefab projects explore efficiency of design, implementation, and performance, while producing custom modern homes specific to each client and site. The results are designs with a better value than comparable site-built projects.'' In this case, RES4's mission was achieved. Catskills Suburban is efficient - powered by solar energy and heated and cooled with geothermic technology. It is specific to the site - private in the front, the back and sides of the home are open to the landscape (including the property's access to a series of trails on Kaaterskill High Peak) via walls of large windows and doors that lead to multiple decks. Enjoy nearby creeks, swimming holes and Kaaterskill Falls as you head up the Mtn. There's nothing suburban about it; clad in natural stone and cedar siding the exterior seems to breath with the landscape. Inside the spaces are perfectly laid out in a way no traditional suburban home would be - there's opportunity for communion with nature, communion with whoever you're sharing the space with, and for blissful privacy - all with a warm, clean style that feels fresh. The 1st floor offers an open living, dining and kitchen area that flows out onto Ipe decks; the perfectly proportional stone fireplace echoes the stone on the exterior. There's a full bath on the 1st floor and a bedroom with an attached enclosed porch where a special surprise waits - a beautiful sauna that's an absolute escape. Upstairs there's a loft with another Ipe deck, this one with an incredible outdoor fireplace. The 2nd floor has two bedrooms, another full bath and an office space with gorgeous light. If you're someone who expects the unexpected and requires an elevated aesthetic, don't miss your chance to find it here in the Hamlet of Palenville; minutes to Catskill, Hunter Mountain, North-South Lake, Tannersville, Woodstock and Saugerties.
