The first thing you'll notice isn't the house, it's the property! Stretching across more than one-third of an acre, this is one of the most beautiful parcels in all of Lake Peekskill. Nearly 60 years of loving care have transformed it into a picture of timeless landscaping, with mature trees, lush greenery, and level, manicured grounds that invite you to slow down and stay awhile. It's easy to imagine summer barbecues that linger into the evening, morning coffee surrounded by birdsong, bike rides to the lake, peaceful walks through the neighborhood, and gathering outdoors with the people who matter most. This is the kind of property where memories are made. A charming flower-lined pathway leads you to two welcoming and separate entrances, one with a scenic front porch. Step inside and you're greeted by a graceful dining room that flows naturally into a spacious eat-in kitchen, creating a warm place for everything from holiday meals to quiet mornings with coffee. Just beyond is a sizable living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and connected to a sun-filled enclosed porch where walls of windows overlook the spectacular property through every season. The main level also offers a versatile den that has comfortably served as a guest room and third sleeping area for years, but would make an equally wonderful home office or study. A full bath completes the first floor. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms, each ready for a fresh vision. While the home could use cosmetic updating, the character, craftsmanship, and solid bones are already here. Downstairs, the possibilities continue. The expansive basement stretches nearly the full length of the home and already includes a half bath with the potential to become a second full bath, offering an incredible opportunity to create more than 2,000 square feet of finished living space. A charming root cellar connected to the garage provides unique storage for wine, preserves, or seasonal items, while thoughtful built-ins and tucked-away storage spaces throughout the home add charm and practicality. Outside is where this property truly stands apart. Whether you're gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, this yard offers a setting that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. With a garage and abundant parking, there's room to host, relax, and enjoy every season. Just minutes from the lake, you can spend your days kayaking, canoeing, fishing, or enjoying the beach before heading home to relax outdoors. Hiking trails, schools, shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, doctors, pharmacies, Route 9, major highways, and everything you need are all nearby, with an easy one-hour commute to New York City. Lake Peekskill has long been one of the area's best-kept secrets... a place where nature, recreation, and everyday convenience come together in a way that's hard to replicate. Yes, this home is ready for its next owner to bring fresh ideas and a little TLC. But what can't be created is what's already here: an exceptional property, a solid home filled with heart, and a place that has been loved for generations. Bring your vision, make it your own, and let the next chapter begin.

Lake Peekskill, located between Peekskill Hollow Road and the Taconic State Parkway corridor, is a lakeside and wooded Putnam Valley neighborhood with a private-lake shoreline and winding hillside roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Lake Peekskill Community Center by the water, where seasonal gatherings and a low-key, outdoors-first rhythm set the tone. Architectural cues lean toward mid-century cabins, updated lake cottages, and contemporary rebuilds tucked into the trees. Lake Peekskill Beach and the surrounding shoreline define daily routines with swimming, paddling, and sunset walks. Nearby, Fahnestock State Park adds trail networks and reservoir views that keep the landscape feeling expansive. A short drive to the hamlet center brings local staples like the Putnam Valley Town Park and the Putnam Valley Library for community programming.
