This one-of-a-kind 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is complemented by two substantial outbuildings, creating endless possibilities for work, hobbies, or lifestyle expansion. The main residence has been well maintained with a warm and inviting layout featuring a granite and maple kitchen, a living room with a striking wood-burning fireplace, and a spacious first-floor bedroom. There is an extra room that is currently being used as a home office that has a spiral staircase that leads to a distinctive primary suite complete with skylights, sweeping views, a private front balcony that offers an impeccable view of the sunset, a rear deck, and its own dedicated exterior entrance--offering flexibility and privacy. The 0.65-acre property truly shines with its additional structures: a detached, professional-style 2-car garage and workshop with an attached sunroom, plus a newer multi-story barn--ideal for car enthusiasts, creatives, home-based businesses, or anyone seeking adaptable space. Perfectly located just minutes to major roadways, schools, and everyday conveniences. It's only a 3-minute drive to the restaurants and shops of Eastdale Village and a 10-minute drive to the Walkway over the Hudson. This unique property offers a rare combination of character, function, and opportunity, and so close to all the amazing things the Hudson Valley has to offer!
Colonial Heights, located between two verified local reference points, is a residential and commuter-friendly MacDonnell Heights neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a low-rise streetscape. A clear character hub centers on a well-known local corner where storefronts, cafés, and everyday services cluster. Architectural cues lean toward mid-century houses and tidy small-lot homes, with pockets of newer infill. Side streets stay quiet while the main corridor carries most foot traffic and errands. Green space and school grounds shape the neighborhood’s daily rhythm. Local gathering spots and independent businesses give the area its familiar, lived-in feel.

Residence, Single-family 20,000 Square Foot District
This district recognizes and is intended to preserve the principally single-family residential development pattern within the Town's established neighborhoods by promoting continuing opportunity for single-family residential and smaller-scale community facility uses within these neighborhoods consistent with their established character. To the extent undeveloped land within this district is available for major subdivision, the use of open space preservation techniques such as clustering of homes is encouraged in order to establish links to existing open space areas.
