397 Viewmont Road, Germantown, NY, 12526

Just one mile from the center of Germantown, Viewmont House is a newly completed 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home offering a rare combination of privacy, scale, and ease: over 5,000 square feet of bright, open living on 6.86 private acres, with all-new systems, finishes, and appliances throughout. Designed by a Hudson Valley artist, the house pairs a classically proportioned five-bay colonial exterior with an unexpected, airy, light-filled interior. At the heart of the house is a dramatic great room with 30-foot cathedral ceilings, an upper-level loft overlook, and a three-tiered south-facing wall of windows. Natural light pours in throughout the day, while a fireplace anchors the room with warmth and intimacy. The chef's kitchen was designed for real use as much as for entertaining, with Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Miele induction range, two dishwashers, a second refrigerator, a microwave drawer, and a wet bar with an under-counter beverage cooler. The bathrooms are equally generous, including two soaking tubs and an 11-foot double shower. The first-floor primary suite includes two walk-in closets and an oversized bath, while a large laundry and mudroom add everyday convenience. The lower level adds close to 1,100 square feet of open space with oak floors, easily suited for a media room, gym, office, studio, or guest overflow. Subject to town approvals and buyer verification, the property may also offer two-family potential. Geothermal heating and cooling, abundant passive light, and an all-electric setup mean the house lives comfortably and efficiently, with no fossil fuels used for heating or cooling. Set just two hours north of New York City, the home is 15 minutes from Amtrak in Hudson and about 20 minutes from Rhinebeck. Private but not remote, substantial without feeling overwhelming, this is a truly turnkey Germantown house that offers space, light, comfort, and proximity to town without the burden of a project...just turn the key and call it home!
