Coming to the market for the first time in over 56 years, this well-maintained split-level home offers timeless charm, ample space, and an unbeatable location. Situated on a picturesque half-acre lot, the home is set back from the road and boasts a large private backyard overlooking the peaceful flow of Wappingers Creek below. With four levels of living, the first and second floors provide 1,296 SF of well-laid-out living space, while the lower level offers an additional 336 SF, and the unfinished basement below adds nearly 600 SF of versatile storage or workspace. Inside, an open floor plan seamlessly connects the living and dining areas, where a large bay window floods the room with natural light, and a cozy fireplace creates a welcoming atmosphere for winter evenings. The recently renovated kitchen is a delight, offering ample space for a breakfast table and easy access to the backyard, making indoor-outdoor living a breeze. Just six steps up from the first floor, you’ll find all three bedrooms, each with nicely sized closets, a shared full bath with a tub and linen closet. Hidden under the wall-to-wall carpeting throughout lies beautiful hardwood flooring—peek beneath the rug in the back bedroom left corner to see for yourself. Seven steps down from the kitchen leads to a freshly carpeted family room with a half bath and direct access to the driveway. From this level, a door connects to the attached one-car garage and a stairway to the expansive unfinished basement—ideal for storage, mechanicals, laundry, and future potential. Outside, the possibilities are boundless. The large, park-like backyard offers ample room to add a deck or patio, create a fenced-in oasis, and enjoy the serene backdrop of the Wappingers Creek below. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to not one, but two fantastic parks directly beyond the creek. Quiet Acres Park, spanning 17.8 acres, features a new playground, kickball field, basketball court, and pavilion, with its northern border offering tranquil creek access for relaxation or launching a kayak. Adjacent is Stanley Still Park (also known as Jackson Road Park), boasting a senior-size baseball field, two softball fields, a basketball court, a 1/3-mile walking track, a playground, a creekside nature trail, and excellent fishing opportunities in the renowned Wappingers Creek, one of Dutchess County's premier trout streams. Located just minutes from the shops, restaurants, and conveniences of Route 9, and with easy access to Metro-North, Route 84, and the Taconic Parkway, this commuter-friendly location offers both tranquility and accessibility. This is a rare opportunity to own a cherished home in a beautiful setting—ready for its next chapter.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
