Set on nearly 9 serene acres in the heart of Woodstock's historic Byrdcliffe Arts Colony is a rare synthesis of architectural precision and natural harmony—an embodiment of award-winning architect John Storyk's deep understanding of space, sound, and site. Designed in 1969 at the very beginning of Storyk's now-legendary career—just after his groundbreaking work on Jimi Hendrix's Electric Lady Studios and the famous Bearsville Theatre—this redwood-clad contemporary home reflects his signature style: intuitive flow, warm natural materials, and an architect's sensitivity to both form and function. The 4 BR, 4 Bath, 4,000+ sq ft (includes guest/pool house) single family home is privately sited with a pond, heated in-ground salt water, gunite pool, and massive guest/pool house. This Mid-Century Modern sanctuary is defined by its soaring ceilings, custom mill work, and an organic relationship with the surrounding landscape. Every room is bathed in natural light through walls of glass, and oriented to maximize the surrounding views of meadow, woods, and sky. A dramatic curved, sunken living room—anchored by a large brick fireplace—evokes the sensorial immersion typical of Storyk's performance spaces. Here, spatial geometry and acoustics are not incidental but essential; offering not just a place to live, but a place to listen and feel. At the heart of the home is a Poggenpohl kitchen—a clean, functional workspace designed with the home chef in mind—that opens to dining and gathering areas which flow out effortlessly to the screened porch, expansive decks, landscaped gardens, and tranquil pond beyond; all designed to foster serenity and creative inspiration. Every line and threshold reflects Storyk's belief that architecture should support creativity and calm—never compete with it. Private spaces include a luxurious first floor primary suite and a guest apartment (with its own entrance) featuring a kitchen, full bath, and private deck—ideal for hosting, creating, or retreating. Across the entire property the interior volumes are balanced by exterior spaces with curated meadows, and reflective water elements including the large, heated, salt water, in-ground, Gunite pool) all reinforcing the idea of the house as an instrument tuned to its environment. While John Storyk is globally known for acoustically perfect studios and world-class performance venues, this home reveals another side of his genius: the quiet artistry of domestic space, where light, proportion, and stillness are as important as sound. A residence like this—designed by one of the 20th century's most innovative architectural minds, and located in a cultural enclave as storied as Byrdcliffe—is a truly singular offering. 289 Upper Byrdcliffe Road is not just a home, but a living, resonant experience—thoughtfully conceived, masterfully built, and deeply rooted in the creative spirit of Woodstock. Please note: Additional town-approved plans exist for a separate structure with its own septic and driveway entrance. All this coalesces to make an extraordinary compound with limitless options for a life well lived.
