4 Munchkin Lane, Kingston, NY 12401
Welcome to Highwoods Haven. Ideally situated on over two serene acres just minutes from the heart of Woodstock and a short drive to Kingston and Saugerties, Highwoods Haven offers a seamless blend of tranquility and modern convenience. Fully renovated in 2021, this four-bedroom, two-bath home has been thoughtfully reimagined to provide a peaceful retreat while maintaining its rich artistic heritage.
Owned initially by acclaimed Woodstock author Helen Weaver, who chronicled her time among literary icons like Jack Kerouac, Lenny Bruce, and Allen Ginsberg, the home has been transformed into a modern sanctuary that honors its creative past. The open-concept main level is designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, with a newly renovated chef's kitchen that flows into the dining and living areas. Four sliding glass doors flood the space with natural light and open to an oversized wraparound deck and a spacious screened-in porch. The deck is ideal for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, and stargazing. At the same time, the screened-in porch features an extendable dining table, comfortable seating, and easy access to the grill, making it perfect for alfresco dining throughout three seasons of the year.
This home's bi-level layout offers two spacious primary bedrooms designed for comfort and flexibility. Each bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed, and one features a wood-burning fireplace for added warmth and ambiance. Two additional bedrooms on the main floor provide space for guests or a home office. Both levels include beautifully renovated full bathrooms, with the upper-level bath featuring a deep soaking tub for ultimate relaxation.
The lower level offers an inviting second living area with a wood-burning stove, creating a cozy gathering space for movie nights, game time, or quiet evenings by the fire. Recent upgrades ensure year-round comfort and efficiency, including a newly installed energy-efficient heating and cooling system with individual temperature controls throughout the home. A brand-new well provides excellent water pressure, and smart home features allow for remote operation of key systems.
Highwoods Haven is also ideally located just three minutes from the Zena Recreation Club, a beloved local spot that offers a pool, tennis courts, summer camps, and year-round activities. Whether curling up by the fire, dining under the stars, or exploring Woodstock's natural beauty, this thoughtfully updated home is a perfect retreat for modern living.
Located just minutes from Woodstock’s vibrant town center and the waterfalls, creeks, and nature preserves that define the area, this home provides the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. With easy access to Saugerties, Kingston, and the Amtrak station, the High Woods Haven is a rare opportunity to live in style and comfort in the heart of the Hudson Valley/Catskills Region.
