Set on 2.5 private acres minutes from the Village of New Paltz, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial delivers land, space, and outdoor living without giving up walkability or the commute. NYS Thruway Exit 18 is close by, all three schools are centrally located within minutes, and the layout of the surrounding roads makes it easy to bypass Main Street traffic entirely. The property is built for gathering. A fully fenced large front yard gives dogs and pets a safe, contained run of their own. The equally generous back yard is set up as a separate destination for people: a swimming pool, a fire pit, a play set, and wide open lawn, with woods and a small seasonal stream framing the rear of the property. Two distinct outdoor zones, so pets and guests each get their own space. This home has served for years as the gathering place for a large extended family, and it shows in how the outdoor space is laid out. Inside, over 2,200 square feet unfolds across a classic center-hall colonial floor plan. Hardwood floors run through the main level, where a working fireplace, recently serviced and ready for use, anchors the living room. Four generous bedrooms are upstairs, including a primary with a full en suite bath. The finished basement is the flex space every buyer asks for and few listings actually have. Refreshed and updated by the current owner, it includes a separate mini kitchen, making it a natural game room, media room, or rec space. With appropriate conversion and Town of New Paltz approval, the layout also lends itself to a potential en suite or extended-family arrangement. Buyers should confirm permitted use with the Town. Mechanically, the home has been brought forward. The former oil-based system has been replaced with a high-efficiency ductless mini split system providing both heating and cooling throughout, cutting operating costs and eliminating oil deliveries. The original baseboards remain in place but are no longer in use. Exterior investment has been ongoing: replaced siding, new gutters with leaf guards, updated fencing, and extensive landscaping and yard work. A 2-car attached garage rounds it out. Beyond the property line, the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska State Park, and the hiking and climbing of the Shawangunk Ridge are all close, along with SUNY New Paltz and the restaurants, breweries, and shops of the Village. Acreage, a pool, a fully fenced yard, efficient modern mechanicals, and a central New Paltz location. That combination does not come up often here.
