289 Upper Byrdcliffe Road, Woodstock, NY 12498

Set on nearly 9 serene acres in the heart of Woodstocks historic Byrdcliffe Arts Colony is a rare synthesis of architectural precision and natural harmonyâ??an embodiment of award-winning architect John Storyks deep understanding of space, sound, and site. Designed in 1969 at the very beginning of Storyks now-legendary careerâ??just after his groundbreaking work on Jimi Hendrixs Electric Lady Studios and the famous Bearsville Theatreâ??this redwood-clad contemporary home reflects his signature style: intuitive flow, warm natural materials, and an architects sensitivity to both form and function. The 4 BR, 4 Bath, 4,000+ sq ft (includes guest/pool house) single family home is privately sited with a pond, heated in-ground salt water, gunite pool, and massive guest/pool house. This Mid-Century Modern sanctuary is defined by its soaring ceilings, custom mill work, and an organic relationship with the surrounding landscape. Every room is bathed in natural light through walls of glass, and oriented to maximize the surrounding views of meadow, woods, and sky. A dramatic curved, sunken living roomâ??anchored by a large brick fireplaceâ??evokes the sensorial immersion typical of Storyks performance spaces. Here, spatial geometry and acoustics are not incidental but essential; offering not just a place to live, but a place to listen and feel. At the heart of the home is a Poggenpohl kitchenâ??a clean, functional workspace designed with the home chef in mindâ??that opens to dining and gathering areas which flow out effortlessly to the screened porch, expansive decks, landscaped gardens, and tranquil pond beyond; all designed to foster serenity and creative inspiration. Every line and threshold reflects Storyks belief that architecture should support creativity and calmâ??never compete with it. Private spaces include a luxurious first floor primary suite and a guest apartment (with its own entrance) featuring a kitchen, full bath, and private deckâ??ideal for hosting, creating, or retreating. Across the entire property the interior volumes are balanced by exterior spaces with curated meadows, and reflective water elements including the large, heated, salt water, in-ground, Gunite pool) all reinforcing the idea of the house as an instrument tuned to its environment. While John Storyk is globally known for acoustically perfect studios and world-class performance venues, this home reveals another side of his genius: the quiet artistry of domestic space, where light, proportion, and stillness are as important as sound. A residence like thisâ??designed by one of the 20th centurys most innovative architectural minds, and located in a cultural enclave as storied as Byrdcliffeâ??is a truly singular offering. 289 Upper Byrdcliffe Road is not just a home, but a living, resonant experienceâ??thoughtfully conceived, masterfully built, and deeply rooted in the creative spirit of Woodstock. Please note: Additional town-approved plans exist for a separate structure with its own septic and driveway entrance. All this coalesces to make an extraordinary compound with limitless options for a life well lived.
