Description

Stunning Pleasant Valley Colonial in park-like setting: This wonderful 5 bedroom home can be your personal oasis; close enough to civilization to have convenience, yet just rural enough to also have serenity. The acre and a half property features stately, landscaped front & side yards with walkways & mature trees - and a more private, fenced & wooded backyard that is all about relaxing and/or entertaining. The in-ground pool is the center piece of this space, and is surrounded by a spacious patio, gardens & trees - and is joined to the house by an expansive rear deck (with a hot tub & plenty of space for dining) and several sets of glass doors. (a new pool pump was just installed in the pool house in August 2025). Once inside this home, it is much more than your typical colonial. Entering from the side porch at the garage side of the home, is a bedroom/office wing with a full bath and large laundry room w/a 2nd fridge. From there, you enter the great room - with vaulted ceilings, 4 skylights, fireplace, entertainment cabinet, wet bar w/tap, and glass doors to the rear decks/patio & pool. Up a few steps from the great room and you enter the kitchen at the heart of the home - with custom cabinetry (with a hidden pull-out table for dining or more prep space), stone counters, stainless appliances, real copper backsplashes, and a great view of the pool. Rounding out the first level is a den/home office with another fireplace & glass doors to the rear deck/pool, half bath, formal dining room, second living room/music/entertainment room - and a full "in-law" or guest suite with a large bedroom and its own living room & fireplace, full bath, laundry, and kitchen (no stove) which could also serve as a great catering kitchen for parties/events. The guest suite can be easily used as a regular, contiguous part of the home as well. The second level features the primary suite - plus three more bedrooms and a common full bathroom. There is a full basement that once had a music studio and control room, but is now mostly unfinished space. The pleasant Valley area has wonderful parks, outdoor & cultural activities - and is a short drive away from Poughkeepsie, The Hudson River waterfront, dining, shopping, Metronorth station, etc. This is a truly special home! Don't miss it!
