Prepare to fall in love with this private and serene four-bedroom home in the Town of New Paltz. The 0.69 acre property directly borders the spectacular 8, 000-acre Mohonk Preserve, with nothing but birds and trees and mountains in your backyard forever. The house is situated in a lovely small community of homes built in the 1960's, with a shared mowed playfield, trout-stocked pond, and large pavilion for picnics and gatherings. The house is just a five-minute drive from vibrant Downtown New Paltz, an eclectic collection of restaurants, shops, and cafes, and a 10 minute drive from SUNY New Paltz. The roomy, airy house was expanded, modernized, and fully renovated in 1998. Key features include an open kitchen with custom cabinets and a granite-topped central island, a large dining area facing the wooded back yard, a sun-filled family room, and a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace. The ground floor study is graced with a full wall of custom cherry wood built-in book shelves and the back porch was recently converted into a 3-season enclosed sun room, perfect for morning coffee or summer suppers. The expansive master bedroom is exceptionally pleasant, with a high peaked ceiling, windows on three sides, a large walk-in closet, and private bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub. A two-car attached garage can be accessed from both the main floor and from the full basement, and the basement includes a finished TV/exercise room that can also be reached from the main foyer. The house includes hardwood floors throughout, dual-unit central air conditioning, and a ''mud room'' with a washer/dryer. A large propane-fired Generac generator kicks on automatically during a power outage, and the property has its own well with pure mountain water. French drains surround the perimeter of the building to keep the basement dry and an 8-foot deer fence surrounds the entire property, a key advantage for those who like to garden. There is an ADT alarm system and remotely-controlled thermostats for air conditioning and heating, ideal for homeowners when they are out of town. This is a great house in a great location, perfect for nature lovers seeking a private oasis just outside the happening town of New Paltz.
