Buyers will love discovering the many nooks and secret hidey holes that are unique features of the kitchen. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful pantry and an additional storage closet. There is also a beautifully tiled powder room and laundry on this level, with a hallway leading from the side entrance to the garage. The upper level features the principal suite, a spacious bedroom with a walk-in closet, and a large bathroom. A wall of closets that are not considered built-in will be removed, providing additional space to customize the room to your liking. Additionally, there is another large bedroom with a walk-in closet and access to additional storage space above the garage. Two more good-sized bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a home office and has double closets, complete the upper level. Hardwood flooring can be found beneath the carpeting throughout. The family bathroom boasts beautiful terracotta tiles and a shower over the tub. Two linen closets on the adjacent landing provide ample storage space. Outside, the property is set back from the road up a sloping driveway, providing ample parking space for several cars. A path leads from the drive to a long porch hidden from the road by large Juniper bushes, creating a private and tranquil space where you can enjoy your morning coffee and catch up on the news. The front lawn slopes down to the road and extends out to the north side of the property. The fully fenced backyard features an inground concrete freeform pool. It hasn't been used for 10 years, so it has been drained and power washed. It will need new mechanicals and a cover, but otherwise, it's ready to be filled in or filled with water! This leaves the rest of the yard that features many specimen shrubs and trees and a useful shed for your garden and pool equipment. Located just a mile from the NJ border and 20 minutes to the GWB, this property is in a wonderful neighborhood that offers easy access to the PIP and is also 20 minutes to the Tappan Zee Bridge, making it an excellent commuter location. While the property is move-in ready, it may benefit from your personal updates to make it your dream home.
