137 Stillwater Road, Stone Ridge, NY 12484: Your storybook ending begins now....
Tucked away on 2.3 private acres in Stone Ridge, this spirited 1980s passive home, three bedrooms, two baths, 2,037 square feet, strikes a balance that's increasingly hard to find: genuinely charming without trying too hard, and quietly stylish in every detail. Fully enclosed by fencing, the grounds are yours to claim completely, a haven for gardens cultivated over many years, for four-legged companions to roam freely and everyone to exhale.
The first floor opens with intention. A mudroom and three-season storage room ease you in, a small but meaningful buffer between the world outside and the life within. Beyond it, the main level unfolds with a rare sense of spatial intelligence with distinct zones that breathe independently without ever losing their conversation with one another. A flexible front room currently serves as a home office, though it wears its versatility openly: reading room, yoga studio, creative den. The living room anchors the heart of the floor with built-in shelving made for a serious book collection, meaningful art, and well-traveled objects. Windows wrap the space generously, and skylights draw the eye and the light, upward. Across the way, a dining room generous enough for a table of eight invites long meals under an open night sky, framed by its own set of skylights. The kitchen is thoughtfully outfitted, with room to cook, storage that earns its keep, and sightlines into both the living and dining that keep the cook in the conversation. A woodstove anchors the space with warmth, literal and otherwise, and a first-floor bedroom, half bath, and laundry round out the level. From virtually every angle, the gardens frame the view.
Upstairs, two graciously proportioned bedrooms flank the landing, each with room for a king bed plus more, dual exposures, and the kind of natural light that makes mornings feel like a gift. The full bath is a moment of its own -- a chic shower stall with multiple showerheads, playful tile that manages to be both irreverent and sophisticated. Attic storage sits above, practical and plentiful.
Outside, a wraparound deck sets the stage for outdoor dining, lazy afternoons, and golden-hour rituals. You'll enjoy taking in the extensive gardens which are rich with pollinator plantings that strategically bloom throughout the season offering an everchanging variety of colors and textures. A screened-in porch offers that perfect in-between state -- sheltered from nature, surrendered to the evening. And then there's the barn: grand in scale and rich with possibility. Convert it to a two-car garage with rental income above, or finally build the studio, workshop, or creative space you've always said you would.
The house is conveniently outfitted with owned solar panels that provide a reduction in utility expenses and provides ease of mind as a back up generator for the property.
The location delivers on every front. Stone Ridge puts you at equal distance from Woodstock and the village of Stone Ridge proper, minutes from the Ashokan Reservoir and the trails, paddling, and open skies that come with it -- and close enough to Kingston for everything else: great restaurants, weekend errands, and a nightlife scene that keeps surprising people.
This one is tucked away. It just doesn't feel hidden.
