Privately set back from the road on more than an acre, this updated 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home blends practicality with modern living. Step into a sun-filled two-story foyer that flows to a modernized kitchen (2021) featuring leathered-granite counters, an oversized undermounted sink, white cabinetry, and stainless appliances. The kitchen adjoins a room with vaulted cathedral ceiling and wood burning fireplace that works equally well as a large dining room or den. On the opposite side, a spacious, light-filled living room offers a place to relax or host guests. An attached two-car garage connects directly to the kitchen for easy unloading, and the large driveway easily handles additional parking for any occasion. Upstairs, enjoy new hardwood floors in the hallway and bedrooms. Along with the new central A/C system (2024), the new ceiling fans in the bedrooms provide comfort for all. There is a powder room on the main floor and upstairs a full hall bathroom with tub shower combo as well as a private full primary suite. Definitely don't miss the opportunities of the additional space in the full walk-out basement (not included in square footage). Enjoy the outdoors with dual sliding doors off the kitchen leading to a large deck overlooking an expansive backyard. Cool off in the above-ground pool, newly relined this year (2025) and upgraded with a new filtration system. Recent mechanical upgrades include whole-house water filtration/softener (2024) and a well-maintained roof with at least a decade left on it. This quiet Carmel neighborhood is also conveniently located minutes to shops, schools, I-684 highway, and Metro-North train station. With many of the major updates complete, this is a wonderful opportunity to move-in and add your own finishing touches!
