Tucked into the trees, 488 Shenandoah Road feels like a retreat — yet you're just minutes from the Taconic State Parkway and Route 84. The classic red cedar shake exterior hints at the character inside. Warm hardwood floors, exposed beams, and a natural flow from the dining room into a well-appointed kitchen with stainless appliances, granite counters, and a center island. The great room is the showstopper — vaulted ceilings with skylights, a tile-surround pellet stove, and windows on three sides that flood the space with light and bring the woods inside. Also on the main level: a cozy library/sitting room with built-in shelving, first-floor laundry, and a screened porch perfect for morning coffee. Upstairs, the largest bedroom features vaulted ceilings, a private deck overlooking the woods, and a ductless mini-split for year-round comfort. Two additional bedrooms and two full baths, including one en-suite complete the upper level. Outside, the half-acre lot delivers — mature trees, a privacy fence for your yard, stone paths, and ample off-street parking. Wappingers Central School District. Privacy, character, and move-in ready. Come see it today!
