Description
Welcome to 150 Harrington Drive, one of Austerlitz's most sought-after properties - where exclusivity meets effortless elegance. Tucked away on just shy of 72 sprawling acres, this architectural masterpiece designed by acclaimed FAIA architect, Dennis Wedlick, invites you to experience modern design with the soul of a luxurious retreat.
As you approach along the approx. 2,100-foot private driveway, anticipation builds - the rolling landscape giving way to a home that is both striking and warm. Enter inside, and you'll feel it immediately: the way the natural light pours in, shifting with the day, creating a glow that makes every moment feel cinematic. At night, the sky opens up, completely unobstructed - a stargazer's dream, where constellations seem close enough to touch.
At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is ready to host everything from quiet mornings with coffee to lively dinner parties. Waterworks fixtures, Viking appliances, and an oversized marble island with a full prep sink set the scene for effortless entertaining, while the expansive pantry with a built-in desk makes it easy to keep everything organized.
The living room is a showstopper - floor-to-ceiling glass frames breathtaking sunsets, while the fireplace adds warmth to crisp fall evenings. The adjoining gallery area, with soaring ceilings, stone floors, and French doors, invites conversation, reflection, and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape.
The Great room is where grandeur meets comfort. Exposed beams and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchor the space, with a lofted meditation nook offering a quiet retreat when the world feels too fast.
In the lower level, the living area is perfectly designed for guests and gatherings. The polished cement floors with radiant heat and the brick fireplace add a cool, modern touch, while two spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms ensure privacy and ease for overnight guests. French doors lead straight out to the resort-style gunite pool, a heated oasis wrapped in blue stone patio.
After a dip, rinse off in the outdoor shower, then unwind by the fire or gather around the poolside kitchenette, where cocktails and conversation flow as effortlessly as the setting sun. Whether hosting summer soirees or quiet moments of reflection, this space makes entertaining as seamless as it is spectacular.
Despite its complete privacy, 150 Harrington Dr is just a short drive to Catamount Ski Mountain, Hillsdale, and the Berkshires, with Hudson only 30 minutes away. Whether it's outdoor adventure, fine dining, or charming small-town energy, everything is close - yet nothing intrudes on the tranquility of home.
Nestled in the heart of Columbia County, Austerlitz is a town steeped in history, natural beauty, and artistic heritage. Known for its rolling hills, pristine forests, and peaceful ambiance, it offers a rare blend of seclusion and accessibility.
Columbia County is home to quaint villages, farm-to-table dining, and vibrant cultural attractions. Just a short drive away, you'll find Hudson, a hub for boutique shopping, fine dining, and world-class galleries. The Berkshires, with their renowned Tanglewood concerts and outdoor adventures, are also within easy reach.
Austerlitz itself has a rich past, once home to Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, whose estate, Steepletop, remains a historic landmark. The town's preserved landscapes and historic districts make it a haven for those seeking tranquility, inspiration, and a connection to nature.
150 Harrington Dr isn't just a property - it's a lifestyle. A space to breathe deeply, entertain effortlessly, and live surrounded by the beauty of nature. Welcome Home.
