Just one hour outside of New York City<\/a>, tucked away on a sun-dappled woodland plot, is an A-frame dwelling<\/a> so “magical” that it feels almost as if you have stumbled into a totally new world. <\/p>\n

The A-frame home, which is nestled in Westchester-rock outcroppings in Yorktown Heights<\/a>, is so bucolic that listing agent Douglas Dill of Houlihan Lawrence\/Luxury Portfolio International<\/a> still has a hard time believing it\u2019s a quick train ride into Manhattan.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou stand on the terrace of this house and you can\u2019t believe you\u2019re so close to New York<\/a> City,\u201d Dill says, about the Westchester County listing with an asking price of $1,700,000. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou feel like you\u2019re in Vermont<\/a> with the setting and style of home. There\u2019s not that many A-frames in this area. If you go up to Vermont, you\u2019ll see a ski house (like this) nestled into the mountains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Described in the listing as \u201cthe most magical setting to behold,\u201d the \u201cWoods Home\u201d is a four-bedroom, two-bath property spanning just shy of 5,000 square feet and set on a 6.74-acre lot.<\/p>\n

The living room’s fireplace is original to the home.Anthony Moreno – Tree Falls PhotographyAs owners for the last 30 years, the sellers invested in updates, including granite countertops in the kitchen.Anthony Moreno – Tree Falls PhotographyLike all of the other spaces in this house, the dining room is flooded with natural light.Anthony Moreno – Tree Falls Photography<\/p>\n

Built in 1966, the sellers snapped up the property 30 years ago as a vacation retreat from Manhattan, and later made it their full-time residence. <\/p>\n

A small structure on the property is used as a potting shed and the one-car attached garage\u2014with its high ceiling and natural light\u2014as an artist studio. The home also features a three-car detached garage.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a four-sided A-frame, an incredibly unique house,\u201d says Dill. \u201cI\u2019ve sold A-frames before but not [ones that are] almost 5,000 square feet, and four-sided with soaring ceilings, walls of glass and acreage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that the house is 40 years old, there have of course been updates, including to both baths as well as in the kitchen, which now boasts granite countertops and an island. Yet even despite these changes, that original vibe\u2014to easily connect to the outdoors\u2014is still a hallmark feature.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best part of the house is that every single room of the house has outside access in some way or form,\u201d explains Dill, via decks, terraces and balconies outfitted with sliding doors. \u201cOutside is very much a part of this house. Every room has this incredible wooded or water view.\u201d<\/p>\n

With its built-ins and natural light, this space would make an incredible home office.Anthony Moreno – Tree Falls PhotographyThere are four bedrooms in the home, all of them cozy due to the A-frame design.Anthony Moreno – Tree Falls PhotographyThe sellers have modernized both baths in the home, including this one.Anthony Moreno – Tree Falls PhotographyAn outdoor pool is tucked into the property’s woodsy setting, and well-suited for entertaining.Anthony Moreno – Tree Falls Photography<\/p>\n

The listing also calls this property \u201ca true entertainer\u2019s delight,\u201d and that applies to both indoor and outdoor spaces. <\/p>\n

Because the seller collects wine, a wine cellar is all set to welcome the next wine-loving owner in a space large enough to host tastings with friends. Then, outside, there\u2019s an in-ground pool and woodland pond, as well as sculptures and gardens.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne side of you is DEP (Department of Environmental Protection)-owned property that\u2019s never going to be developed. It just feels so secluded, private and serene,\u201d says Dill.<\/p>\n

In addition to impeccable stewardship by the sellers and past owners, another reason why the Huntersville neighborhood, where this home resides, is so \u201cbucolic,\u201d says Dill, \u201cis because of the New York reservoir system. You\u2019re not allowed to motorboat (on the lake). You can rowboat or fish with a permit. It\u2019s kept very pristine.\u201d <\/p>\n

In fact, the listing also calls the neighborhood \u201cWestchester’s best kept secret.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very appealing to a Manhattan buyer who wants a year-round getaway,\u201d says Dill.<\/p>\n
