7 Gardiner Park Road, New Paltz, NY 12561

Welcome to 7 Gardiner Park Road! Finding a single-level home in this area at this price point isn't easy. This 1,376-square-foot ranch sits in a quiet neighborhood set on 0.42 acres, right between the Village of New Paltz and Gardiner, located so close to each that you can equally enjoy both - a nice balance to have. It's also located minutes from the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, with easy access to the Gunks and Mohonk Preserve and all that they have to offer. Step inside to feel how naturally the space flows. The home has been freshly painted in neutral grays that feel modern without being cold. The living room has a large bay window providing an abundance of natural light and also features a pellet stove adding efficiency and warmth on even the coldest days. The kitchen is functional and welcoming, with solid oak cabinetry and a tile backsplash with decorative accent tiles. There's a gas range, dishwasher, full pantry, and plenty of counter space. The real draw is the two-sided island that opens to the living room - perfect for having guests seated nearby while you're cooking. French doors lead into the three-season sunroom, which might just become your favorite spot in the house. It has vaulted wood ceilings, wraparound windows, and natural light that pours in from every angle. It's the kind of space where you'll drink your coffee in the morning, read in the afternoon, and watch the seasons change throughout the year. A sliding door from the sunroom opens to a back deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Three bedrooms and a full bath with a layout that is so smart and lends room for expansion - one bedroom sits in its own wing, separated from the other two. As it is, it's a nice retreat. With some thoughtful updates, you could turn it into a primary suite with an ensuite bathroom (the plumbing for a sink is already there), an affordable way for expansion that would add real value and functionality to the home. At just under a half acre, the lot, with a natural stream running along the back, could easily fit a full garden while the covered front porch and rear and side decks offer spaces to be outside and enjoy nature from every viewpoint. First-time buyers looking to build equity or anyone downsizing into something more manageable - properties like this don't last long.
