2680 Glasco Turnpike
Woodstock, NY 12498

A historically significant Tudor that was once part of the Byrdcliffe Artist s Colony, 2680 Glasco Turnpike sits perched atop a rocky bluff, surrounded by the pristine and forever-wild woodlands of Mount Guardian. Listed for sale for the first time in over 60 years, this property is a quintessential Woodstock retreat, complete with a pool, tennis court and guest-house. Enjoying absolute seclusion, this home is perfect for those who want to unplug in the beauty of nature, without sacrificing access to the restaurants, renowned music venues and cultural offerings that Woodstock is known for. Architecturally, the home is a classic example of the ethos behind the Arts-and-Crafts movement. The vaulted entryway, with double-height ceilings and exposed beams, evokes the sentiment behind the ideology that inspired Byrdcliffe: soaring timbers and deliberately handcrafted framing in direct opposition to the wave of industrialization that had taken over at the turn of the 20th Century. The living room is expansive and accommodates ample seating around the stone fireplace at the center of the home. The dining area is situated just off the living room and features two sets of stunning, handcrafted Arts-and-Crafts style doors that open onto an intimate stone porch. The kitchen, a powder room and a dedicated office space round out the first level of the house. On the second floor of the home are four bedrooms. The largest of the four bedrooms has corner exposures and a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for chilly fall and winter evenings. At the far end of the upstairs corridor is another corner bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. There is yet another full bathroom on the second story of the house. Central air-conditioning ensures that the bedrooms remain comfortable in summertime. Outside, there are multiple amenities for outdoor recreation. The heated pool is surrounded by decking on all sides and features a pergola, ideal for days spent relaxing poolside. Meandering trails amongst the mature forest lead to the tennis court, and a finished guest-house with a full bathroom is perfect for guests, or could function as a studio. 16.5 acres of pristine woodlands ensure absolute seclusion at this historic Woodstock gem, available for the first time in over half a century.
