Located within the highly regarded Putnam Valley School District, this unique property offers the perfect opportunity for homeowners seeking multi-generational living, supplemental rental income, or simply the flexibility to adapt as life changes.

From the moment you arrive, a welcoming composite deck invites you to slow down and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you. Inside, the home is filled with warmth and character, highlighted by a formal dining room featuring a stunning wood-accented ceiling that flows effortlessly into the updated eat-in kitchen with refreshed cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar seating, tile flooring, and a bright breakfast nook. Large windows throughout the home fill every room with natural light while framing picturesque views of the thoughtfully landscaped gardens and the lake beyond.

The inviting living room offers one of the home's most charming spaces, where a beautiful bay window creates the perfect reading nook overlooking the water. The main level also features a spacious primary suite with a beautifully renovated ensuite bath, additional bedrooms, and another full bathroom.

The walkout lower level offers exceptional flexibility with its own private entrance, living room, kitchen, bedroom, renovated full bath, and direct access to a brand-new deck overlooking the backyard and junior lake views. Whether you're searching for a legal income-producing apartment, space for extended family, guest accommodations, or a private home office, this level offers endless possibilities.

Outside, the property truly shines.

Life in Lake Peekskill offers more than just a beautiful home. Residents enjoy lake rights with swimming, fishing, kayaking, and non-motorized boating, along with sandy beaches, a community center, playground, and year-round neighborhood events.
