Just 90-miles North of New York City you will find New Paltz, a quaint mountain town known for world-class climbing, hiking, trail systems, farm-to-table cuisine, a thriving art scene, and absolutely breathtaking landscapes. Right smack in the middle of it all, will find this secluded and peaceful 3.26-acre lot with waterfront access and mountain views. Set back from the road, this beautifully built 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home is everything you could dream of in a country setting. Canoe or kayak from your backyard, enjoy long summer days out on the trails, sunsets from your rocking-chair front porch and summer nights under the stars on your back deck. This property is truly magnificent in every way. The house was tastefully and meticulously built in 2003 by a highly reputable local builder. Enter the home into the entry foyer with beautiful natural light and a simple floorplan with clean lines. The generous formal dining room flows into the bright open eat-in kitchen with all new cabinets and countertops, a breakfast bar with stools, pantry area with half bathroom and laundry, access to the front porch and a glass slider to the rear deck, ideal for dining al fresco and entertaining. The spacious living room offers large windows and a perfectly appointed brick wood-burning fireplace, the perfect place to unwind and relax with family and friends. The ground floor also features a sundrenched den/home-office, presently being used as a music room, but can easily be used as a ground-floor bedroom. The second story features a primary suite with west facing Mountain views, an ensuite primary bathroom and a walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms are found on the second floor with a shared second full bathroom. The basement is partially finished as an amazing family room/media room and walks-out to the rear yard, which has a meandering trail directly to the jaw-dropping Wallkill River. Two car garage, additional unfinished basement perfect for storage, gardens for growing your own vegetables, and plenty of space for outdoor living. This is a one-of-a-kind property, a stone’s throw from the Shawangunk Mountains, Village of New Paltz, Trails, Restaurants, Shops, NYS Thruway and so much more!
