229 Bone Hollow Road, Accord, NY 12404

A stunning barn conversion owned and expanded over a fourteen year period by a notable fashion designer, this upstate compound sits on 6.5 private acres of sundrenched fields and forest. A "no cares in the world" place, the home is beautiful but not precious, it was designed for enjoyment. Downstairs, the living space is cozy and comfortable. There is a Plain English-designed kitchen with a walk-in pantry, a generously sized dining room and a sitting room anchored by a woodburning fireplace. A large mudroom with a built-in wrap around bench and storage sits off to the side and leads one outside. The back wing of the house is comprised of four guest rooms, one ensuite with a soaking tub, and french doors leading outside to a private patio. There is an additional full bath painted a cheerful yellow with an antique clawfoot soaking tub and vintage-inspired taps. The primary suite comprises the newly-built southern wing of the house, entered through a generous, light filled sitting room and a hallway built of west-facing french doors and floor-to-ceiling windows. The primary suite is large and vaulted, with a walk-in closet and a full bath with dark green zellige tile. A private patio with an outdoor shower & cold plunge sits just off the bedroom. The ceiling is vaulted and in the summer, the french doors swing open offering true indoor/outdoor living. A large, steel staircase was constructed to reach the second story from the main living space. The current owners converted the second floor into an expansive, large living space that spans the width and length of the original barn. The ceilings were vaulted to the roofline, high windows added and the entire space painted a tranquil white. French doors were added to the far end, offering a picturesque view of the rolling fields in the back. This space makes for fabulous parties, a tasteful disco ball hangs at center. There is a wood stove in the corner, and the space has been broken into "rooms" with the employment of furniture and rugs a sitting room, an office, a media room. All gorgeous. Truly a statement space. The barn is both beautiful and practical, designed to live comfortably in, a true country home just 2h north of NYC.
