Welcome to this charming Lake Peekskill cottage, where peaceful surroundings, original character and thoughtful improvements come together beautifully. Ideal for a first-time buyer, weekend getaway or anyone looking to simplify without sacrificing comfort. Easy ranch-style living with so much to love! Step into the gorgeous sunroom, currently enjoyed as an oversized dining room, where walls of windows surround you with greenery and natural light. Imagine gathering around the table for a leisurely breakfast, hosting dinner with friends or simply watching the seasons change from your own little sanctuary. From here, the layout flows into a spacious kitchen with abundant cabinetry, stainless steel refrigerator, propane gas stove, convenient breakfast bar and a sweet coffee nook to start your mornings. An interior opening overlooks the living room, creating the opportunity to hand over hot cocoa and cookies before settling in beside the beautiful brick wood-burning fireplace. Hardwood floors and a cozy atmosphere make this the kind of setting that encourages you to settle in and stay awhile. A generous entry hallway ties everything together, offering possibilities for a workspace, organizational area or other creative uses. A beautiful sliding barn door adds another touch of personality, while the stunning renovated bathroom features a stylish walk-in shower with subway tile, glass enclosure and contemporary finishes. The bedrooms are surprisingly spacious! The primary is particularly impressive with soaring ceilings, lovely woodwork and clever overhead storage accessed by a ladder above the closets. Another generously sized bedroom offers plenty of flexibility to suit your needs. And just wait until you step outside! The grounds are private, serene and easy to maintain, with a lovely level lawn framed by mature trees. Gather around the firepit under the stars, relax beneath the gazebo with a good book, enjoy outdoor dining or spend an afternoon listening to the sounds of nature. There's even a pond where you can feed the fish! The setting feels like a getaway without the upkeep of a sprawling property. Living in Lake Peekskill brings another dimension to the experience. Head down to the lake for fishing, canoeing or a relaxing afternoon by the water, then stop at one of the local delis or restaurants. Shopping, schools, hospitals, major roadways and Metro-North connections are all within reach, making everyday conveniences accessible while preserving that wonderful sense of being away from the hustle and bustle. Recent improvements include a new roof, heat pump, hot water heater, well pump, electrical panel, retaining wall, walkway and beautifully renovated bathroom. The kitchen cabinetry was updated in 2019, blending practicality with the cottage's original charm. Filled with warmth, individuality and just the right mix of old and new, this delightful retreat offers a lifestyle that's easy to embrace. Come for the natural beauty, stay for the feeling. Home sweet home!
