FABULOUS updated colonial on 2 acres, and with finished walkout basement, 2 car attached garage, above ground pool with custom wraparound deck, a stocked pond, and a NEW roof -- all just 1 1/2 miles from New Paltz's dynamic downtown! Located in the desirable Harvest Hills neighborhood. Meticulously cared for by original owners (who actually built it themselves) -- and it shows! Note the curb appeal and gorgeous landscaping upon pulling into the driveway (recently resealed). Walk up to the classic country front porch, and enter into a bright & airy tiled foyer with beautiful crown molding detailing. Main floor features sparkling hardwood floors throughout the formal dining room, into the family room area (with pellet stove and sliders to back deck), open kitchen with granite countertops & stainless steel appliances (and a wine cooler!), formal dining room & recently updated powder room. Upstairs features a spacious primary en suite with recent custom updates to the primary bathroom (custom cabinetry with plenty of storage, garden tub & shower), a walk-in closet, and an additional closet. Three other good size bedrooms and an additional full bathroom with tub also on second floor, along with washer & dryer for added convenience. Efficient ductless AC units on first & second floors also have heat pumps for second heating source. Finished basement (large family room) walks out to bluestone patio (and also enters into 2 car garage). Multi-level deck off family room leads to pool and stunning backyard views of pond (and seasonal views of the world famous Mohonk Mountain House). Tasteful backyard shed for garden/lawn/pool equipment. And what a spectacular location in the shadows of the Shawangunk Mountains, all that incredible New Paltz & the surrounding Hudson Valley area has to offer (and this upscale subdivision is actually adjacent to SUNY New Paltz), the popular Wallkill Valley Rail Trail is within a half mile away (for biking, running & walking), orchards, wineries, breweries, great restaurants & entertainment, some of the best hiking in the world, close to the Catskills AND the Hudson River, and so much more. Country living at its finest, but with all the amenities nearby -- and close to NYS Thruway for commutability, too!
