New York, Putnam Valley, USA

A rare offering in the desirable Wildwood Knolls community on coveted Lake Oscawana, this exquisitely reimagined home brings a refined sensibility to relaxed lake living. Completely reconstructed with only two original walls remaining, the home reflects a thoughtful approach to design, craftsmanship, and everyday comfort. Beautiful gardens, timeless stone walls, and a surrounding canopy of trees create a private, serene setting just a short distance from the lake. A welcoming covered porch sets the tone for the light-filled interior, where high ceilings and white oak hardwood floors lend warmth and continuity to the open living spaces. In the living room, a cozy wood-burning fireplace complemented by a reclaimed wood mantel creates an inviting focal point, perfect for quiet evenings by the fire. The kitchen's butcher block countertops offer an inviting complement to the home's carefully curated finishes. An effortless connection between the kitchen, living room, and dining area creates a beautiful setting for intimate evenings and gatherings with friends. Just off the kitchen, the stunning sunroom offers a peaceful place to savor morning coffee, lose yourself in a good book, or admire the gardens through the changing seasons. The adjoining patio extends the experience outdoors, inviting leisurely meals and quiet moments surrounded by nature. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and private bath, while a second bedroom continues the home's welcoming atmosphere. Shiplap detailing in the bathrooms adds a touch of timeless lake-house charm, while radiant heating in both bathrooms and the laundry/pantry provides an added layer of comfort. Solid wood doors, barn doors at closets and storage, a steam-feature dryer, generator hookup, new roof, and new driveway are just a few of the many thoughtful features found throughout this exceptional home. Life at Lake Oscawana offers its own enduring appeal. One of Putnam County's few motorboat lakes, it provides a setting for days spent on the water, with community amenities including a boat ramp, sandy beach, playground, and picnic area. Each season brings something to enjoy, from summer boating and swimming to ice skating and ice fishing when winter conditions allow. Rarely does a home pair this level of thoughtful reconstruction with the privacy, beauty, and lifestyle of this sought-after lake community.
