Sa a se Straylight, yon retrèt ki fèt pa yon achitèk ki anonde nan istwa modernis. Li bati an 2009, an kolaborasyon ak renomé achitèk Ralph Rapson (ki te patisipe nan Pwogram Kay Etid ka a nan 1945 - plis enfòmasyon sou sit entènèt nou an), ak anpil ekstansyon an 2017. Anviwònman an se sis akra rèv ki antoure pa forè ak rivyè nan pak prive 2,000 akr Black Forest Club la, e sèlman 80 mil ale nan vil New York. Kay la prezante kòm modèn ak minimòm pandan l ap rete kreyatif ak jwe. Yon antre ki fèt tout an vè sèvi kòm pwen dantre a. Sou goch la, gen yon espas vivan ouvè, ki gen yon gwo kwizin, zòn manje ak zòn vivan. Sal la, ki ankr aswiv pa yon fou an bwa, se anvlòp ak limyè lò apremidi gras a bijou li - yon miray fenèt ki mennen nan yon gwo platfòm solèy, manje deyò ak yon dife. Pòt ki gen koulè soti nan sal la bay aksè a yon twalèt plen pataje (ak yon douch ekstèn ki gen kalite ki aksesib atravè yon dezyèm pòt) ak de chanm pou envite. Sou dwat la nan antre a, se suite prensipal la - ki gen ladan yon chanm, yon twalèt an suite ki gen charme, yon sal vivan prive ak pwòp platfòm, ak yon gwo zòn pou chanjman ki kounye a itilize kòm yon atelye seramik. Antre a tou gen yon gwo chanm pou labou, depo, ak yon klozèt pou lave. Nivo ki pi ba a genyen katriyèm chanm envite a, yon twalèt plen atiran, yon gwo espas travay/sala espò, ak yon chanm itilite pwòp. Pou moun ki bezwen plis espas, pwopriyete a ofri de garaj ak yon dezyèm sou-sòt gwo ki pafè pou antrepriz kreyatif, pwojè lakay, oswa depo. Anplis platfòm solèy yo, manje deyò ak dife, teren imedya a tou gen yon jaden leve, yon lakou jwèt ak forè pou eksplore. Pou plis avantur, Straylight se yon pati nan Black Forest Club, yon kominote prive ki anpil moun ap chèche ki ofri rezidan yo aksè eksklizif nan 1,100 akr chemen randone ki deja make, plas pouna benyen, ravin ki bèl, peche, ak plezi pou tout sezon.

This is Straylight, an architect-designed retreat steeped in modernist history. Built in 2009, in collaboration with renowned architect Ralph Rapson (notably part of the Case Study Houses Program in 1945 - more info on our website), with considerable extensions in 2017. The setting is six dreamy acres nestled into the forests and rivers of the Black Forest Club's private 2,000 acre park, and only 80 miles to New York City. The house presents as both modern and minimal while remaining creative and playful. An all-glass breezeway serves as the entry point. To the left lies the open plan living space, featuring an extensive kitchen, dining and living areas. The living room, anchored by a wood stove, is flooded with golden afternoon light thanks to its crown jewel—a coveted wall of windows leading to an expansive sun deck, outdoor dining and fire pit. Colorful doors off the living room provide access to a shared full bathroom (with a charming outdoor shower accessible through a second door) and two guest bedrooms. To the right of the breezeway is the primary suite—featuring a bedroom, charming en suite bathroom, private living room with its own deck, and a large dressing area currently used as a ceramic studio. The breezeway also houses an extensive mudroom, storage, and a laundry closet. The lower level contains the fourth guest bedroom, an attractive full bathroom, a large workspace/exercise room, and a tidy utility room. For those needing additional space, the property offers two garages and an extensive second basement perfect for creative endeavors, home projects, or storage. In addition to the sun decks, outdoor dining and fire pit, the immediate grounds also feature a raised bed garden, playground and woods to explore. For further adventuring, Straylight is part of the Black Forest Club, a sought after private community offering residents exclusive access to 1,100 acres of mapped hiking trails, swimming holes, stunning ravines, fishing, and four-season fun.
