Description
Down a long drive off a quiet country road in Germantown you’ll find 114 Best Lane. The c1865 post and beam barn has been completely rebuilt and reimagined from the ground up, and a beautiful 1,800 sq ft guest house has been constructed on the property. The thirteen acre property is incredibly private and quiet— the barn is tucked in amongst tall catalpa trees, and pastoral views have been carved into the landscape. The main barn is three levels, the kitchen is adorned with thick marble countertops and open, industrial shelving. The main space has cathedral ceilings, centered around a brick two-sided woodburning fireplace that soars over two stories and anchors the room. The dining area opens through french doors onto the large wraparound deck. Upstairs, the master bedroom is reminiscent of a chateau in the south of France, with an open air soaking tub and a carved marble sink, a powder room is tucked back behind swinging wooden doors. The opposite wing upstairs, accessed by its own stairwell, is currently being used as an artist’s studio. The walkout lower level has a large central room with a woodburning fireplace at the center, two bedrooms tucked off to the side and a full bath. The layout is flexible and can easily accommodate ones specific needs. The guest house is simple and beautiful in its architecture— a long porch overlooks the front field and inside each floor is open and lightfilled. Kitchen and living on the first floor, and an incredibly spacious bedroom on the second. A covetable bathroom, beautifully adorned with antique hardware, is tucked behind barn doors. 114 Best Lane is centrally located just minutes to Otto’s Market and Gaskins restaurant in Germantown, and just 10m to Hudson, Rhinebeck and Amtrak in either direction. An incredible property, for one to live a true maximalist lifestyle or pare back to reveal incredible bones and beautiful architecture.
