Like something out of a fairytale, this lovely brick Cape Cod style home is nestled in nature but just one hour from Manhattan. Nicely set back from the road and surrounded by an expansive meadow-like lawn, this 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home has plenty of room for dining al fresco, gardening, or an in-ground pool . This home was solidly built in 1950, but has been graciously updated and maintained by its recent owners. Beyond the cozy front porch, you will find glistening wide plank wood floors, exposed brick walls, a charming pellet stove, and an airy main floor that gets tons of light. There is great indoor / outdoor flow for entertaining and all new appliances as of 2018. Upstairs you'll find three generously proportioned bedrooms and a 2nd full bath with lots of natural light. The stately detached 2.5 car garage has lofted storage that could be converted and the poured concrete patio is already approved as a foundation for an addition. Plenty of options should you want more living space as well as a generator hookup ready to go! The property is surrounded by tree cover and the spacious front and back lawn offer plenty of privacy. Rated by Niche as a great place to live and raise a family, Hopewell Junction is home to the Dutchess County Rail Trail, gorgeous hikes, orchards and farms. Situated in the stunning Hudson Valley, this home is convenient to NYC, Beacon, Poughkeepsie and Connecticut to the east. Low taxes and easy access to the Taconic make this home an incredible investment.
