“I wanted a house that would be “right sized.” I asked Deborah Berke, whose work I had long admired, for a home that would be light-filled, easy to maintain, and use high quality and local materials. The result was luxurious in its simplicity: every inch of space was used and the palette of materials was pleasingly restrained. Her firm was hands-on throughout the process, ensuring that every line resolved perfectly, functionally, and intentionally. Behind the walls, no corners were cut; even the utility room is aesthetically pleasing. I have always loved the Shaker design philosophy:“Don’t make something unless it is both necessary and useful; but if it is both necessary and useful, don’t hesitate to make it beautiful.” I believe this house follows that philosophy perfectly.”
Drenched in light at all times of day, this brilliantly sited modern home with breathtaking views sits on 37 acres of open, sun-drenched fields and forest. Osmer Hill, a perfect blend of comfort, style, and purpose, is a collaboration between two creatives - the owner, a writer, and celebrated architect Deborah Berke, known for designing sensory, “true-to-place” structures.
Passing the rustic stone pillar at the entrance to the property, you travel up a long, winding drive to a stone veranda surrounded by lush gardens of perennial flowers and ferns. The entrance, framed by stone steps, leads into a light and airy open living and dining space anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and a bank of windows with uninterrupted views of the Catskill Mountains. The chef’s kitchen is well appointed with a WOLF stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and marble countertops, and walks out to a charming screened-in breakfast room with beautiful views of the property. An inviting master suite, a powder room, and a mudroom complete the first floor.
Upstairs you will find two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, connected by an open hallway overlooking the living room. The bright lower level, with radiant concrete floors, features a family room with a Wittus woodstove, an indoor/outdoor three-season dining space, an artist’s studio, and a spacious laundry room.
With multiple outdoor vignettes including an alfresco shower and a traditional Swedish outdoor sauna at the end of a fern-lined stone path, Osmer Hill offers the ultimate in natural beauty, understated luxury, and privacy.
The property, bordered by acres of state-protected land, is located 15 minutes from the town of Chatham and the Berkshire Mountains, 25 minutes from Hudson, and just under 2.5 hours from New York City and Boston.
