Dawn Drive House

August 2024

Nestled along a private Catskills lake, this five-bedroom, four-bathroom retreat integrates mid-century design with natural materials that honor the spectacular setting. Inside, rift-cut oak cabinetry is featured throughout, providing contrast to open living spaces bathed in light from floor-to-ceiling windows. A massive bluestone fireplace anchors the room, its rough texture complementing the rugged beauty of Douglas fir wood beams and plank floors underfoot.

The kitchen balances sleek style with earthy elements. Soapstone countertops provide a refined counterpoint to the show-stopping marble slab backsplash, while the lower level bar, equipped with a wine fridge and coffee bar millwork offer a cozy spot to unwind with a nightcap. Upstairs, the guest bath surprises with a freestanding copper tub, creating a spa-like oasis overlooking the water.

This lakefront sanctuary celebrates nature through its materials while curating refined mid-century living, resulting in an atmosphere of understated, sophisticated tranquility.
