Some homes simply make you want to stay awhile. Reimagined by an interior designer, this delightful 1960 ranch in Upper Nyack is one of them, bringing together warmth, character and the ease of one level living on approximately one third acre. Here, mornings might begin with coffee on the screened porch, afternoons with a visit to Nyack’s shops and galleries, and crisp autumn evenings with a stroll beneath vibrant foliage before returning home to dinner with friends. Red oak hardwood floors connect the main living spaces, while thoughtful details give the home its inviting personality. In the living room, a wood burning brick fireplace with a repurposed antique beam mantel and built in seating creates a gathering place with charm to spare, especially inviting as the evenings turn cooler. The formal dining room opens to an exceptionally lovely screened porch, where a wood ceiling and surrounding greenery set the scene for leisurely meals, quiet reading and conversations that stretch into the evening. In the kitchen, Calacatta marble countertops complement cheerful cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Three bedrooms and two full baths include a primary bedroom with its own bath, all conveniently arranged on one level. The full unfinished basement offers generous space for storage, hobbies and projects, while the heated garage offers flexibility for a workspace at home or your car. New Lincoln casement windows with disappearing screens, a new roof, central air and a generator add practical reassurance to the home’s considerable appeal. Beyond the front door, Upper Nyack invites you to enjoy the season, from an evening stroll to RiverHook Preserve to exploring Hook Mountain and Nyack Beach, where the Hudson River and autumn’s brilliant colors make time outdoors especially rewarding. Nearby downtown Nyack offers restaurants, cafés, independent shops and a lively arts scene, giving you plenty of reasons to venture out before happily coming home. Commuting options include New York City bus service within an easy walk, an approximately nine mile drive to Tarrytown train station or 8.5 miles to Nanuet train station, along with direct Hudson Link bus service from Nyack to Metro North in Tarrytown, including express service during weekday peak periods. The drive to the George Washington Bridge is approximately 30 minutes, keeping New York City within easy reach. A home with personality, thoughtful improvements and an easy rhythm, full of reasons to enjoy life right here.
