Morning here begins with the Shawangunks. Pull back the curtains and the ridge is right there across the northern sky, that long pale line of cliff catching the first light while the rest of the valley is still waking up. The coffee goes cold because you keep looking. This is a home built to frame that view and then step out of its own way, with walls of glass and ceilings that climb two full stories so the light pours straight down into the rooms and the outside never quite leaves you. The road ends at your door. At the quiet end of a cul-de-sac, with open space buffering you on every side, you get the one thing that gets harder to find every year, which is the room to simply exhale. No one is looking in. The only traffic is the deer stepping out at the tree line at dusk and the slow change of the season moving across the ridge. You will catch yourself leaving the blinds open at night, just to keep it all in view.
