8 Garrett Place, Carmel, NY 10512

Welcome to 8 Garrett Place — a solid, well-maintained Cape Cod tucked on a quiet, tree-lined street right in the heart of Carmel. This is the kind of home where the heavy lifting has already been done, leaving you free to move in, settle in, and grow into the space at your own pace. The main level welcomes you with original hardwood floors in the bedrooms, a sun-filled living room, and a formal dining area that flows into a fully equipped kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a brand-new range, and a new microwave. Cooking, laundry, and hot water all run on efficient propane — a smart, cost-saving setup for year-round living. Upstairs you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom, while the recently updated half bath on the main floor adds everyday convenience for family and guests. What truly sets this home apart is the room to grow. A massive unfinished space sits above the detached two-car garage — already studded and ready to become a private primary suite, a dedicated home office, an art studio, or an in-law retreat. Downstairs, the finished walk-out basement is already equipped with its own kitchenette, full bathroom, and third bedroom — ideal for extended family, guests, or a self-contained rec room with private outdoor access. Step outside to a covered deck with a built-in grill area overlooking 0.67 acres of open, level land — a rare offering in Carmel. The detached two-car garage and full driveway provide ample parking and storage. Recent improvements include a brand-new oil tank, new basement stairs, an updated bathroom, and refreshed kitchen appliances — meaning the systems are sound and ready for the next chapter. Located within the highly regarded Carmel Central School District — Matthew Paterson Elementary, George Fischer Middle, and Carmel High — and just minutes from Lake Mahopac, Route 6, the Taconic State Parkway, and Metro-North access for an easy commute into Manhattan. This is more than a starter home. It's a foundation with built-in upside, sitting in one of Putnam County's most desirable communities. 3 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms | 0.67 Acres | Walk-Out Basement | 2-Car Detached Garage | Carmel Schools
