Relax into the comforts of home in this meticulously renovated and maintained mid-century ranch. Stone facing and a mix of painted brickwork and hardiboard in a neutral palette create a calming, natural exterior. Thoughtful landscaping accentuates the flow of the property, from the hydrangeas flanking the bluestone front porch to the pergola-covered pea stone patio, around the stone garden wall to the fire-pit on the back lawn, and finally up to the sunny, terraced pollinator gardens surrounding the heated in-ground pool. Steps from the pool, the three-season porch offers shade and a place to rest and relax, while close to the action. Through the dutch-door, bamboo floors and clean lines set the tone on the main level, which features radiant heated floors and mini-split units for effortless climate controlled comfort year-round. A large butcher block island grounds the kitchen, offering plenty of prep space and room to pull up stools. The chef will appreciate the quartz countertops, Kucht gas range, Bosch dishwasher, and french-door fridge, complimented by dove gray cabinetry and gold-tone hardware. Bright and airy, the dining room and living room have a vaulted ceiling and south-facing windows with wood trim and deep sills. The two bedrooms on this level share a luxurious bathroom with glass-enclosed rain shower and a freestanding soaking tub. The larger room, which easily accommodates a King sized bed, overlooks the garden wall with blooms in view. Downstairs, the finished, walk-out basement includes a kitchenette, a full bathroom, a large family room with walkout French doors, and a bedroom with doors opening to the patio. Mature and established, the outdoor spaces include cedar and magnolia trees, boxwood and privacy shrub borders, hydrangea flowers, butterfly bushes and roses. The heated pool extends the swim season in spring and fall, and the deck houses the out-door grill for barbecuing. Boasting a strong short-term rental history, this property's furnishings, rugs, and window treatments are included in the sale. Amato Lane is a cul-de-sac located minutes to the Village of New Paltz and less than a mile to the Hudson Valley Rail Trail, a scenic, multi-use trail with miles of recreation opportunities in either direction. Just a 5 minute drive to Twin Star Orchards (Brooklyn Cider) and Minard's Farm -- perfectly situated to enjoy all that the Hudson Valley has to offer. Everyday feels like vacation at this sweet home.
