I'm a long time Putnam Valley resident and lover of the area. I am a documentary filmmaker and newly retired NYU professor. I enjoy hiking, swimming, kayaking, gardening, dinner with friends and family and reading biographies especially about music.

Lived in the area most of my life and wanted a home that could offer me peace and harmony from my busy profession. This property is my home and is a refuge and special place. I am pleased to be able to offer this great retreat of a place with others who are respectful of the place, the property and this unique town and community.

There are many unique aspects about this property as there are a variety of niches in the house itself and among the property: the hot tub on the back deck, the pool that is just a short path to where it's nestled into our hillside, our many outside decks, various reading niches and particularly in the great room and the room of the dressing room that we call the "tree house rm", a home office niche are of the home and the garden on the hillside, the fireplace in the great room and dining room, and the sound of the stream running after it rains just outside the window. Also, there's a private trail behind the house up into our woods plus the Granite Mtn Preserve hiking trails are just walking distance down the street and Fahenstock State Park is 15 mins away.
