336 Main Street, Germantown, NY 12526

Set high above the Hudson Valley with sweeping views of the Catskill Mountains, this light-filled contemporary home is oriented due west, capturing extraordinary afternoon light and sunsets that unfold across the mountains each evening. A broad, rolling green lawn stretches out before the house, while mature perennial gardens surround it, creating a landscape that feels both open and established.The interiors are bright, comfortable and wonderfully connected to the outdoors. Generous windows bring the landscape into nearly every room, while French doors open the main living spaces onto covered porches and terraces. The kitchen and dining room sit at the center of the house, flowing easily into the living spaces and outside--a layout that feels particularly well suited to summer dinners, weekends with friends and everyday life in the country.The TV room and office form a quieter corner of the house, with extensive built-in shelving and an oversized picture window framing the Catskills beyond. A built-in desk and window seat create a particularly inviting place to work.Upstairs, all three second-floor bedrooms are en suite, each with its own relationship to the landscape. The primary bedroom opens directly onto a private west-facing terrace overlooking the mountains. In one of the guest rooms, a daybed sits beneath an enormous skylight, creating a wonderful place to lie back and watch the stars at night. The third bedroom opens onto its own private deck overlooking the gardens. The entire third floor is given over to a generous bunk room, creating flexible additional space for family and guests, while a gym on the lower level adds another practical amenity.Outside, the gardens have been established over years, with layers of perennials ensuring there is seemingly always something in bloom throughout the growing season. Beyond them, the rolling lawn opens toward the western horizon and the Catskills, with plenty of room for games, gatherings or simply an evening outside as the sun goes down.What makes the property particularly compelling is how completely the house engages with its surroundings. The western exposure isnt limited to a single room or terrace; the mountains appear again and again as you move through the house, framed by windows, doorways and outdoor spaces. Late in the day, the entire property takes on the warm light of the setting sun.The location is equally compelling. Germantown has become one of the Hudson Valleys most sought-after small towns, loved for its pastoral landscape and darling downtown, with a growing collection of restaurants, shops and independent businesses. Positioned between Hudson and Rhinebeck, it offers easy access to two of the regions most vibrant towns while retaining the quieter, rural character that makes Germantown so special. And on the Fourth of July, there may be no better place to be: from the rolling lawn, you can watch the fireworks across the valley with the Catskills stretched out beyond.
