Create an exceptional lifestyle in this well-preserved 1968 brick mid-century modern 3,670 sq ft one-level residence, complete with all comforts and amenities. Boasting a unique additional 2,152 sq ft attached indoor pool with floor-to-ceiling bay windows, enjoy sweeping jetliner views spanning more than 30 unencumbered miles of rolling hills to the south. Thoughtfully designed with seamless indoor-outdoor circulation and plenty of storage space, this home feels fitting for one or many. It magically transforms from a quiet writer's retreat into a vibrant family home or your private entertainment hub. Solidly built atop a hill, the easy-access bungalow-style layout features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on one side, and generous communal spaces on the other--including a living room, an open kitchen with dining area, and a large sunny room ideal for use as an office or additional living space. The island kitchen showcases custom-built original Quaker Maid maple cabinets paired with a state-of-the-art pantry. The original mid-century modern carefully preserved design contributes to the home's authentic historical charm while modern conveniences such as central air conditioning, high-speed internet, and a multi-point alarm system provide comfort. The large 1,800 sq ft heated basement includes a second kitchen area with double sink, countertops and cabinets, a full bathroom, laundry, utility room, and ample storage, ready to become a recreational space when adding a ping-pong table, a pool table and a movie screening area. An attached garage with additional workshop gives direct interior access to the house through a mudroom featuring bluestone floors and cedar walls. Swim year-round in the heated indoor kidney-shaped pool equipped with saltwater system & dedicated propane furnace; the solid brick construction includes a newer roof, massive industrial beams & renovated hardwood ceiling. Vinyl liner was recently replaced. Huge yoga deck facing the view. Property has two wells: one for the main house and a second dedicated to the pool and the garden's automatic irrigation system. The fenced vegetable garden sits just steps from the kitchen. Other practical touches include an automatic generator, outdoor spigots, & exterior outlets. The blacktop driveway makes snow removal quick and easy, while the parking area easily accommodates eight vehicles for pool parties or BBQs. Thanks to the elevated location, cell phone reception is strong. In-ground power lines enhance the elegance of the park-like setting, with its maintained lawn and mature trees offering plenty of outdoor space to roam after your daily swim. The house and grounds are easy to maintain. Use the large detached powered shed for lawn equipment storage, or convert it into a studio. Adding to the property's versatility, the 4.23 acres are already subdivided into two parcels with separate tax bills: the upper 2.23-acre parcel includes the residence while the lower 2-acre parcel is currently zoned as residential vacant land. This property has a renewable two-year Short-Term Rental (STR) permit and is currently operated successfully as an STR for half the year. The property also offers tremendous solar potential. Conveniently located less than a mile from the Taconic State Parkway (yet you cannot hear it), and only a 1hr 45mn drive from New York City, this peaceful and secluded residence makes the perfect weekend or vacation home. Pick up your guests or park at the Rhinecliff or Poughkeepsie train stations - respectively 30mn & 25mn away - or enjoy a scenic 1 hr 50 mn train ride along the Hudson River to the city. Own your own hill with million-dollar views, enjoy it as a primary luxury residence, a seasonal work-from-home getaway, or generate income with this turn-key piece of paradise. Included adjacent parcel address is 68 Ridge Rd Parcel ID 1352006569128825380000.
