97 Lily Lk, Highland, NY 12528

This lovingly-maintained 1951 ranch combines classic charm and sturdy bones with a fabulous modern kitchen and a freshly updated exterior (including a brand new roof)!  Built into the hillside, the main level opens out to a back stone patio and lush shade trees, punctuated by moss and lichen covered rock outcrops--just like those found in nearby nature preserves.  This lovely forest view is on full display in the sleek galley kitchen, which has a wall of windows, loads of cabinets and drawers for storage, light grey tiled backsplash accents, and quartz countertops, which reflect the natural light coming in.   The quartz sink and stainless appliances--dishwasher, french-door fridge, and gas range with hood--were added new in 2018.  A ductless mini-split unit provides heat and cooling for the kitchen and adjacent dining area.  The bright living room features hardwood floors, a bump-out with windows on three sides, a built-in bookcase, coat closet and hall closet.  Off the hall are two bedrooms, also with hardwood underfoot, and a full bath with tile floor and wainscot.  Original moldings and paneled doors are found in these rooms. The main bedroom--large enough to include a private sitting area or office--has ample closet space, oversized windows, and pretty views through the sliding glass doors.  Downstairs you'll find a finished basement with a family room, updated full bathroom, laundry room, storage, and convenient access to the garage.  This home is functional and practical, but also peaceful and in touch with its beautiful, natural surroundings. Close to the Hudson Valley Rail Trail, Tony Williams Town Park, and Black Creek Wetlands--excellent recreation opportunities--this location offers easy access to the New York State Thruway, as well as the village of New Paltz and hamlet of Highland.  Call to book your showing today!
