The Luxury of Single-Level Living. The Beauty of Reservoir Views. The Convenience of Katonah. Perfectly positioned on 2.63 private acres overlooking the Cross River Reservoir, this exceptional ranch offers a rare combination of effortless living, extraordinary scenery, and everyday convenience. Designed to embrace its remarkable setting, nearly every principal room enjoys sweeping year-long southwest-facing water views that transform with the seasons. In winter, dramatic sunsets stretch across the reservoir and fill the home with warm evening light. Throughout the year, the ever-changing landscape creates a stunning backdrop for daily life. Spanning more than 3,000 square feet on a single level, the home is thoughtfully arranged for both comfort and connection. At its center, the beautifully designed kitchen features a large island, a full suite of Bosch appliances, and panoramic reservoir views that make it as inspiring as it is functional. Spacious living and dining areas flow seamlessly for both entertaining and everyday living, while a private office provides flexibility for today's lifestyle. Three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a serene primary suite, offer comfortable accommodations, complemented by beautifully appointed bathrooms with a refined, spa-like feel. Outside, the experience continues. Two bluestone patios provide inviting spaces for outdoor dining and relaxation, while the Gunite pool is perfectly situated to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty. Mature gardens, fruit trees, raspberry bushes, and a thriving vegetable garden add richness and character to the landscape, creating a property that feels both curated and deeply connected to its environment. Despite its peaceful setting, the home is just minutes from Katonah Village, Metro-North, acclaimed schools, shopping, dining, and the miles of trails and protected open space at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation. Offering the ease of single-level living, breathtaking reservoir views, and an exceptional location, this is a home that feels both private and connected, tranquil yet convenient. A truly special offering in one of Northern Westchester's most desirable settings.
