Perks for the Parents
This architect-owned Mid-Century modern home on 1.5 acres in the heart of Woodstock sleeps up to 6 people plus a baby. It is a 10-minute walk / 3-minute drive from Woodstock town center. The primary bedroom has a fireplace while the kids rooms are stocked with books, toys and art materials. The property has 2 decks - one cedar deck spanning the length of the house with lighting for evening relaxation, a lounge area, a gas grill and a table and chairs seating 8 people. The other deck is covered and has built-in benches and forest views. Both are great for wildlife watching, as is the plush hammock in the yard. There is a Sonos sound system for music, a guitar, an upright piano and a fireplace in the living room for evening relaxing. The kitchen has a wood stove, cozy in winter whether you're hitting the nearby ski slopes and want to warm up, or enjoy taking wintery walks in the woods.
Why Kids Love it
Games, toys, musical instruments, books and art supplies are plentiful throughout this house designed with kids in mind. The cozy den and basement are both set up to snuggle and watch movies, read a book or play games. The basement has a carpeted play area where kids can escape to tumble on gym mats or play ping pong. There are 2 kids rooms with a single bed, desk for kids and room to relax and play. Outside is a grassy yard with a large trampoline and ample space to play on the decks, set up a kiddie pool or play soccer. The outdoor fire pit is made for toasting marshmallows and there are fireflies in warmer months. Seasonal activities include skiing and sledding, swimming in creeks, hiking trails, biking or walking miles of rail trails, berry or apple picking, and exploring countless cultural destinations nearby.

Style Notes
Modern rustic and cozy Mid-century style. Hardwood floors plus sheepskin rugs and throws, graphic prints and open fireplaces make this a countryside retreat with added chic. The cedar deck spanning the length of the house is a stand out feature, accessed by sliding doors from multiple rooms. The main bedroom has a fireplace for evening fires and the kitchen has a wood stove, to keep it cozy in colder months. We love the sleek modern kitchen opening up to the elements and the views of the woods from nearly every window. The modern touches mixed with original architectural details and Woodstock flair create a perfect country retreat.
