Stylish, updated mid-century modern ranch on uniquely peaceful and private 1.2 acres just 1 mile from the village center in Germantown. Open vistas (stunning sunrises and sunsets!) and seasonal views of the Catskills and Berkshires. Upgrades galore in the past several years including: newly refinished hardwood floors; new hardscaping; new roof and seamless gutters; newer Pella wood windows; new well pump, pressure tank, and water softening system; and the list goes on! Tons of value and peace of mind represented here. The 1352 square foot main level includes spacious living room with gas fireplace, formal dining room, and kitchen featuring newer appliances and tile floors, plus large primary bedroom, second bedroom, full bath with tub/shower combo, and an additional den/office space that can easily be converted to a 3rd bedroom. A three-season sunroom (220 SF) provides additional space to entertain, enjoy the views, and listen to the birds chirping. The lower level includes a recently refinished, light and bright guest space/family room (360 SF) with a second bathroom and laundry (104 SF) attached, plus a utility room and attached garage. Property also includes a separate 475 SF studio with plumbing and electrical, plus a large organic garden and shed to store gardening and lawn equipment. A great opportunity to live the Germantown dream as a primary or secondary residence! Perfectly sized for low maintenance giving you more time to enjoy the abundant recreational and cultural offerings in this gorgeous part of the Hudson Valley.
