Sited on almost 6 acres overlooking formal gardens, a potager, specimen plantings and a pond, this contemporary home is a quiet and private retreat.

Originally constructed about 20 years ago, StormField has been completely re-done with no lack of attention to detail spared. The house has two dramatic entrances — a breezeway with vaulted ceiling and African floor tile and an elegant foyer.

It has a chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, hand-painted tile backsplash, granite counters and European tile. Appliances include a Viking range, Subzero and Miele dishwasher. The kitchen opens out to a mahoghany deck and Koi pond. Leaving the kitchen there is an informal living or family room with brick flooring, wall of stone and done in rich Venetian plaster.

The first floor also features a formal living room with stone fireplace, wideboard floors and beamed ceiling. It opens to a formal dining room with handsome decorative lighting. In addition, there is an exercise room with cherry flooring, half bath and utility room.

The second floor has a master suite with walk-in closet filled with custom built-ins and a bath with stunning deco vintage lighting. There are also three additional bedrooms — one with an elegant Oriental bed custom built into an alcove, and a hall bath with whirlpool tub. Lastly, there is a sitting area that overlooks the gardens and pond accented with custom pewter railings and lighting. All the doors on the second level are hand painted.

The third level is a walk up to a library/den with cherry flooring, custom built-ins and storage including a cedar-lined closet.

The property is planted with specimen trees such as tri-color beech, bi-color sycamore, weeping larch, Japanese maple, American redwood and more. There are shade perennial beds, fruit trees and a potager. To the eastern side of the property is a beautiful pond that is used for swimming and irrigation. The grounds feature a garden potting shed, a reproduction gypsy wagon for summer entertaining and two barn/garage buildings.

The property features a generator, design-quality plumbing and lighting fixtures, energy-efficient Pela windows, security system, outdoor lighting and irrigation systems for the extensive gardens.

StormField is convenient to the Taconic State Parkway, Millerton, Metro North in Wassaic and Sharon, CT, and is only a 30-minute ride to Rhinebeck and Bard.

Offered at $1,495,000.
