L-Wing is a contemporary masterpiece that pays homage to the agrarian roots of the Hudson Valley surrounding it, a true modernist take on the archetypal farmstead. A New York based talented architect duo, after searching for several years for the perfect piece of land, finally settled on this exceptional property just minutes from Germantown, after which they started on an over three-year journey of realizing their most personal and important project yet. Built to the most exacting standards, L-Wing is a perfect example of the integral relationship between architecture and nature, where the surrounding climate, the landscape of the site, and the rural views critically informed every architectural and design decision. The eminently warm and peaceful residence seamlessly integrates Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics with the organic architectural principles of the local vernacular of barns and sheds. The lengthy conceptualization process is evident in the way each window frames a 'scene' within the surrounding landscape, the clever positioning of private versus shared spaces that play on the natural movement of light throughout the house, and the sensoriality of the primary materials used - clear cedar tongue and groove siding, interior glulam beams of impressive proportions, white oak flooring, Brazillian-imported leather-finish Quartizite, and the delicate use of polished concrete. The four-bedroom, five-bath, 4,600 square-foot home sits at the end of a long driveway amid over twelve lush acres, offering complete and total privacy. The expansive living and dining room space is anchored by a fireplace with a custom designed concrete hearth and a fabricated metal chimney in the center. Large floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides flood the room with natural light throughout the day. The impeccably envisioned kitchen, with custom rift oak cabinetry and professional-grade appliances, overlooks the north side of the grounds. Off the kitchen lies the only part of the interior where all four levels are on display in one lens - building up from the lower level, more intimate family room, all the way to the reading nook and walkway at the top, suspended from the immense interior beams. The private wing of the residence hosts three bedrooms and three baths on the upper level, with a fourth, tucked-away guest bedroom suite on the lower level. The landscape is quintessential Hudson Valley, and the views are sweeping. The interior blends seamlessly with the exterior by way of a cedar deck that wraps around almost the entirety of the home, a Japanese Karesansui-inspired garden, several exterior gathering spaces for dining and entertaining, and for the more adventurous, multiple paths that extend into the 'wilder' part of the grounds. L-Wing finds its home in the beautiful surroundings of Germantown and is only 10 minutes from Tivoli, 20 minutes from Hudson, Rhinebeck, and two Amtrak stations, and two hours from New York City.

49 Bow Wow - A Gilligan Brothers Masterpiece on 30+ Acres! Set on over 30 acres of stunning meadows, mountain, pond access, and forest, the Gilligan family home at 49 Bow Wow Rd comes to the market for the first time. In the second half of the 20th century, the Gilligan Brothers name was synonymous in southern Berkshire County with a quality built home. Founded by three brothers - Matthew, William, and Earl - in the 1940s, Gilligan Brothers homes were often a showcase for the ingenuity and craftsmanship of their founders. And perhaps no home better illustrates their innovative streak than Matthew's family home at 49 Bow Wow Road. Built in 1941 for his family - and retained by them to this day - 49 Bow Wow was stylistically and functionally ahead of its time. Take, for example, the massive stone fireplace and exposed beams in the family room - built with materials reclaimed from a nearby mill. Or, for instance, the sliding wall that opens (still to this day) the family room to the expansive porch with westerly views. Equally impressive, however, is the 30+ acre parcel of land Matthew Gilligan chose for his home. It includes two multi-acre meadows, woodlands, pond access, and the western side and top of Little Johnny Mountain. From the front to the rear meadow, observing huge 20+ ft boulders seemingly dropped from the heavens, one imagines a glacier carving through this little valley thousands of years ago. The rear meadow sits next to Little Johnny, and could be a spectacular second home site accessed by an existing farm road. The scramble up the side of Little Johnny brings you to a table top mountain with awe-inspiring view potential of Mount Everett and the valley below. From there, one can descend the southern slope to Sheffield's Town Park, which has a frisbee golf course, playground, and ball field. Or cross the meadow and return home via a trail system passing through the forest and a small brook. Kayak and water lovers can cross the road and have rights to the small beach on Mill Pond. The home's first floor features two beautiful living spaces, a kitchen with vintage custom cabinetry, a wood-paneled dining room, a bedroom and full bath. The upstairs includes three more bedrooms and a full bath divided into two sections. A cedar closet could be repurposed into an en-suite bath for the primary bedroom. The basement shows off the home's quality build, with high ceilings, updated systems, and a spot for a future wine cellar. Perfectly functional now, but also ready for its second-ever owner to update the bathrooms and kitchen to their personal preference. The home's bones and spectacular property will amply reward future investment. Two-car garage, high-speed Internet, several hobby farm outbuildings, updated electric panel, Buderus hot water heating system.

Originally constructed in 1875, the house was owned by local church for Pastor Andrus, a name still prevalent in the Berkshires. A subsequent cast of owners included the Town Physician, Dr. Roberts and later Sheffield's Chief of Police. The previous owner bought the property as a two-family home which it remained until 2002 when the current owners purchased the property and converted it back to a one family home. The transformation of this property has been meticulously executed in four distinct phases, each enhancing the home's charm and functionality. Phase 1 focused on reinforcing the front portico and constructing a new porch, setting a welcoming tone. Inside, the main house saw extensive upgrades: wallpaper removal, floor refinishing, fresh paint, and ceiling repairs breathed new life into the rooms. A clever conversion of a large closet into a half-bath improved the foyer, while strategic window closures on the northwest side increased wall space without sacrificing natural light. The second floor underwent a significant reconfiguration, reducing the number of bedrooms from four to three to create a luxurious walk-in closet and an expanded bathroom with a large tub, and new fixtures. The living room's fireplace was serviced, ensuring cozy gatherings. Phase 2's rear section saw the transformation of a den/kitchen into a primary bedroom with cathedral ceilings and a primary bath/shower combo. A discovered chimney was restored, adding character, while new fixtures, windows, and a zoned baseboard heating system modernized the space. The side porch was enclosed to create a functional mudroom, and the groundwork for a future garage was laid. The third bedroom transitioned into a den, complete with new closets. Phase 3's kitchen expansion was remarkable, featuring new appliances, cabinetry, and soapstone countertops repurposed from a high school lab. The removal of old linoleum revealed original floors with historic markings, preserved for their character. A new laundry chute, plumbing for washer/dryer, and the elimination of an unnecessary bathroom streamlined the home's functionality. In the basement, a new oil tank, electrical upgrades, a water softener, and organized storage solutions were implemented. The garage, a proud addition, offers ample space, electrical outlets, and an ingenious heat transfer system from the bulkhead, keeping vehicles warm in winter. Above the oversized attached two car garage, a versatile room serves as an office or potential yoga/exercise space, complete with a propane heater, window A/C, and engineered wood floors. The property's exterior boasts a brand-new septic system and a detached building with commercial potential, complete with its own electric meter and plumbing linked to the septic system. Zoned for multi-purpose use, this property offers flexibility for residential or commercial aspirations, with an existing exterior sign to streamline the permitting process for business use. Each phase of renovation has been thoughtfully designed to enhance the home's historic charm while providing modern comforts and conveniences.

Located in the heart of Fishville, this property offers a wonderful opportunity to renovate with the confidence of knowing that your values will be protected.
