Overview
Welcome to 190 Cox Road, a private country respite on 6.2 acres bordering the Shawangunk Ridge State Forest. As you make your approach up the long driveway, you’ll find yourself yearning to escape your busy life to this tranquil place. Blending art, architecture and design, this abode is overflowing with upgrades and craftsmanship. The entryway is tiled with earthstone, making a seamless transition from outdoors to indoors. Up the sweeping staircase is the living area, brimming over with the graciousness of a country inn. It creates a sense of space, yet is equally suited for quiet, cozy nights in front of the soft glow of the centerpiece corner brick fireplace. The well-appointed kitchen creates an atmosphere of togetherness, where family and friends will gather to share a delicious meal prepared on your commercial Blue Star stove. The quality Alderwood cabinets and granite countertops by Elite Kitchens offer scads of space to create culinary masterpieces, and the under-cabinet lighting will brighten the area. When your meal is plated you can feast in the dining area off the kitchen, which can also serve as a game area, remote work area or passion project workspace. Off the kitchen is a terrific and functional mud room with built in storage, letting you drop your hiking boots by the door. The bedrooms both offer a special serenity that is usually only found in the best bed and breakfasts. The basement houses the laundry area and plenty of storage shelves. The mechanicals have been consistently maintained, the roof was replaced in 2017 with GAF lifetime shingles, the water system has an iron filter and water softener, and the oversized electric panel has many open slots for additional circuits. The basement walls were treated with RubberWall waterproofing in 2021, as well as new footing drains installed so you have no worries of water infiltration. The detached, oversized 2 car garage has a workspace/shop to tinker on your quad or dirt bike, or use as extra storage. This 6.2 acre private playground borders 100’s of acres of state forest. Hike to the Long Path through your backyard, or just up to the ridge to witness the most beautiful sunsets. The mostly wooded lot keeps outdoor maintenance to a minimum and lets Mother Nature do your landscaping. Should you ever decide to leave this personal oasis, you’ll find yourself a stone’s throw from world-class outdoor recreation such as Sam’s Point, Minnewaska, and many state land trailheads. This home feels like a remote hideaway on top of a mountain, but it’s close to wonderful local restaurants, wineries, breweries, rail trails, and Main Street shopping in towns such as Pine Bush and New Paltz. So easy to get to the train, bus and highway for commuting to NYC (approximately 70 miles). This home is truly the getaway you’ve been searching for. **Please see list of features in Documents section**
