Cardinal Crossing – Designer Home with Heated Pool

Perched atop a gentle ridge on over three acres of lush Hudson Valley woodland, Cardinal Crossing is more than a home—it’s a storybook retreat where every season writes a new chapter. Imagine waking to the chirp of cardinals across a sun-dappled meadow, then stepping outside to breathe in fresh air as you plan a day of adventure or pure relaxation.

As you arrive at Cardinal Crossing, you’ll step into a soaring double‑height entry vestibule that sets the tone for a home designed to welcome both gatherings and quiet moments. A fully stocked chef’s kitchen beside a glass atrium flows into a sunny breakfast nook—perfect for morning coffee—while just beyond, a long dining table seats ten for family meals. On cooler days, migrate to the living room and gather around the wood‑burning fireplace which anchors the space. A separate TV room sits just off the open living space, perfect for a cozy movie night. When you crave something swanky, slip into the bar room/den, where plush seating and a built‑in wine rack invite evening to linger over games or conversation. Step through to the sunroom, which brightens every afternoon with vaulted windows overlooking the lawn. Glass sliding doors let out to the expanse bluetsone patio. A mudroom and powder room off the living room keep muddy boots and gear out of sight, while a hard‑wired gas grill, fire pit, hammock grove, and heated pool offer endless outdoor options.

Upstairs, four well‑appointed bedrooms share three full baths and a handy laundry closet. The primary suite boasts a king bed, en suite bath, and forest views; a queen guest suite also features its own bath; a cheerful twin room delights younger travelers; and a cozy full‑bed room shares a tub‑and‑shower bath. Zoned heating and A/C, high‑speed Wi‑Fi, and thoughtful storage throughout ensure that everything—from linens to luggage—has its place. Nestled just a mile from Rhinebeck’s shops and cafés (or an eight‑minute drive to the Rhinecliff Amtrak), Cardinal Crossing strikes the perfect balance between homey functionality and Hudson Valley charm.

Nestled on a quiet, wooded stretch, Cardinal Crossing enjoys the best of both seclusion and community. The quaint Village of Rhinebeck and the hamlet of Rhinecliff, where an Amtrak station connects you to New York City in about 90 minutes. Each season brings its own draw: spring farmers markets and blossoming orchards, summer events like the Dutchess County Fair, vibrant fall foliage along the river, and cozy winter festivals. Antiques shops, farm‑to‑table restaurants, art galleries, and welcoming cafés line the village streets, making Rhinebeck a quintessential Hudson Valley destination—and a wonderful place to call home.

A car is needed to the get the most of your time, but the village of Rhinebeck is one-mile away, easily accessible by walking or biking. The Amtrak in Rhinecliff is also under 10 minutes away with frequent taxis available.
