The chef’s kitchen boasts a farmhouse sink, 5-burner gas stove and an island with seating for two to take in the expansive mountain views. Just off the kitchen is the home office, if you must. On the other side of the office is the ground floor bedroom. This sunlight-filled room features some of the best views in the house, with windows on three sides and direct access to the backyard. There is also a first-floor bathroom with a tub-shower.

Upstairs are two bedrooms with bucolic views out over the neighboring fields. The primary king-size bedroom is light and airy with a seating area. Between the two bedrooms is a shared full bathroom with dramatic navy tiling in the tub-shower and modern fixtures. The second bedroom features a queen-sized bed with an additional daybed and a designated workspace looking out over the yard.

In warmer weather, throw open the garage doors and enjoy the farmland views from the lounge. Also on this level is a modern laundry room.

For those warmer days, you’ll want to head out to the backyard to take in all the lounging possibilities. The dining table with enough room for all. After dinner drinks and marshmallows are best enjoyed the Upstate way, by the firepit surrounded by lounge seating, an idyllic spot to enjoy the great outdoors.

All of this couldn’t be set in a more central location. Set off the Route 209 corridor, Hurley is the ideal location with easy access to Kingston and Stone Ridge, both just 10 minutes away.
