30 Forest Ct, Rhinebeck, NY 12572

Nestled down a long, winding driveway at the end of a private cul-de-sac, Forest Court is a fully realized modern farmhouse on just under five acres outside the village bounds, yet within walking distance to Rhinebeck Schools and downtown. With an ideal setting and location in Rhinebeck, every aspect that makes life enjoyable and effortless has been carefully considered, providing the foundation upon which this special community is built.Once down the long drive, a generous and level parking pad opens up to a two-car garage of similar proportions, and a mudroom flanked by a half bath and laundry room ideal for entry after sports or hiking through the surrounding woods. Guests can also enter via the long bluestone pathway and past the porch swing, through the custom mahogany double doors.The home is designed for year-round entertaining and gathering, whether in the generously proportioned great room with its expertly equipped open kitchen or outdoors around the forty-foot heated pool and spa. An added layer of ease and comfort is found in thoughtful additions such as a gas fireplace, a butler's pantry, an ample back deck just off the dining area, and a recreation room complete with a walk-in shower bathroom for use after play or swimming. Off the recreation area lies another space that lends itself to a movie room or guest bedroom.Perhaps the most requested amenity of all is a reality in this home: a first-floor primary suite, fully equipped with a dressing room, custom closets, and a sun-drenched bathroom featuring both a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Upstairs you will find three additional bedrooms, each with custom closets, and two full bathes. For good measure, a massive playroom or den, along with an additional laundry closet, is just down the hall.Everything you need for a life well-lived is at Forest Court, just minutes from the buzz of village life and the tranquil countryside. Only 90 minutes to New York City by car and less than ten minutes to Rhinecliff Amtrak station.
