New to the market with numerous recent updates and enough space for everyone to stretch out. This classic four-bedroom split-level ranch offers a rare combination of privacy and peaceful seclusion, just moments from the shores of Lake Taghkanic State Park. The home perfectly balances modern updates with the serenity of 2.5 quiet, private acres bordering a year-round stream. Step inside to an updated kitchen, where a skylight pours in natural light, creating a bright and inviting space. The split-level layout provides excellent separation of space, featuring a spacious great room and a cozy living room anchored by a warm fireplace--ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Two bedrooms are situated on the upper level and two on the lower level, well-suited for family, guests, or a home office. Massive, high-ticket capital improvements offer ultimate peace of mind, including a new roof, replacement upstairs windows, new downstairs carpet, three multi-zone mini-split units for efficient heating and cooling, a Buderus boiler, a drilled well, an updated water filtration system, an upgraded electrical panel, and a generator installation. Functional spaces include a dedicated laundry room plus a separate storage room for all your extras. Where the property truly shines, however, is outdoors. Enjoy the views from the back porch, where you can hear the tranquil sounds of the stream.
