Loved by the same family since built, this geodesic dome residence offers an incredible opportunity as a full-time home or weekend retreat. Modern design meets nature in upstate NY, just a few hours from NYC. Set on 4.8 private acres with panoramic Albany skyline views, this property has nearly 4,000sqft of finished living area and provides a break from traditional architecture. The main floor boasts dramatic architectural elements and abundant natural light. The massive great room with hardwood floors flows seamlessly into a sunroom and eat-in kitchen. The sunken conversation pit is cozy with a wood-burning stove insert, and the large family room is perfect for movie nights by the gas fireplace, all with incredible views (family room floor and sliding door to be replaced prior to closing). The main level is rounded out by a dedicated laundry room and primary suite. A spiral staircase imported from Italy leads to three additional bedrooms and a full bath. The upper bedrooms feature distinctive loft spaces accessed by ladders, adding to the home's whimsy. The finished walk-out lower level offers incredible flexibility as an expansive extension of the home, perfect for multi-generational living or accommodating guests. This inviting space is great flex space, most recently used as an extension of the home for family, with its own living room, a secondary kitchen and dining room, a second ensuite bedroom, and an office. Exterior spaces include a stamped concrete patio, two decks, sheds, great lawn space, and a two-car garage. Major components (roof, vinyl siding, furnace, central air) are updated, all about 12 years old. Located in the top-rated Bethlehem School District, just a short drive from Thacher State Park, Thompson's Lake, and the popular Maple on the Lake restaurant. With its unique spherical design and expansive views, this is an opportunity you don't want to miss!
