11 Franklin Ln Accord, NY 12404

A study in calm, light, and intentional design, Meadowlark is a Japandi-inspired modern retreat set within the quiet creative landscape of Accord. Designed with a wellness-forward philosophy and a deep respect for the surrounding Hudson Valley environment, this newly built four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home offers a rare balance of architectural clarity and restorative living. From the moment you arrive, Meadowlark feels subtly distinct. Salvaged 1800's barn flagstone steps lead to a minimalist entry framed by thermally modified wood cladding, a material chosen both for its durability and its warm, natural presence. Inside, the home opens to a dramatic main living space where a 16-foot sloped ceiling and expansive energy-efficient windows draw the outdoors in, filling the interior with soft shifting light throughout the day. Polished concrete floors with radiant heat extend throughout the home, grounding the interiors in both warmth and simplicity. Select eight-foot interior doors subtly amplify the architectural scale, while a restrained palette of wood, stone, and handmade tile reinforces the home's serene, meditative atmosphere. At the center of the home, the kitchen functions as both workspace and gathering point. Custom white oak cabinetry designed by Christina Z Antonio is paired with unlacquered brass hardware that will age gracefully over time. Brazilian Audacia quartzite countertops introduce subtle movement and depth, creating a space that feels both refined and deeply tactile. The bathrooms continue the home's emphasis on craftsmanship and calm. Custom built-in millwork by Makers Accord is complemented by handmade Zellige tile from Paris Tile. A freestanding soaking tub and walk-in showers with natural light provide restorative spaces designed for slow mornings and mellow evenings. Throughout Meadowlark, the architecture prioritizes flow between inside and out. Bluestone walkways and a spacious patio extend the living areas into the landscape, while a deck encourages gazing at the pastoral scenery and summer evenings under the moonlight. Native Hudson Valley plantings frame the property, where a natural creek winds through the land and reclaimed 1800s barn beams have been thoughtfully repurposed into custom outdoor seating. A private outdoor sauna and shower by Redwood Outdoors complete the home's wellness-centered design, creating a rejuvenating environment that invites daily ritual and renewal. Perfectly positioned in the cultural heart of the Rondout Valley, Meadowlark sits just minutes from some of the region's most beloved destinations including Inness, Westwind Orchard, and Arrowood Farms, while the trails and dramatic landscapes of Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park are only a short drive away. Thoughtfully designed and newly realized, Meadowlark offers a rare opportunity to step directly into the evolving creative energy of the Hudson Valley while living in a home that prioritizes beauty, wellness, and enduring simplicity.
