117 Maverick, Woodstock, NY 12498

Property Description

Claim an exceptional piece of Woodstock history with the original home of Hervey White, founder of the Maverick Art Colony. Completely updated with unique architectural details including vaulted ceilings and new windows that let in abundant sunlight and look out to beautiful woodland views. The open concept space provides an expansive feel, showing the original woodwork with chic design and construction throughout; in addition to cozy nooks and a wood-burning fireplace to enjoy the fall and winter evenings. 2 sleeping lofts flank the home with built-in cabinetry and furniture that conjure Le Corbusier’s cabin by the sea. Located in an area steeped with history, Japanese modernist painter Hideo Noda also resided here (who worked alongside Diego Rivera and Isamu Noguchi). The home became a museum for Noda’s work and neighbors the studios of sculptor Raoul Hague and painter Phillip Guston. There is a charming detached garage with original windows that could easily convert to a studio or office. The backyard has original bluestone patio, no-mow meadow grass and ivy grow throughout the property with a seasonal stream, and a short stroll down the road to the prestigious Maverick Concert Hall. Appliances, metal roof, furnace, hot water heater and wall mounted splitter for cooling were all replaced or installed within 5 years. This is a distinctive home with very low maintenance. Note low Hurley taxes yet minutes to Woodstock, Kingston and all amenities with hiking trails, swimming holes and skiing all conveniently nearby. Maverick Art Colony homes seldom come to market, this is a rare opportunity to own a notable historical gem!
