Mid-century design and creative use of space are perfectly expressed in this impeccably maintained split-level ranch, where architectural interest and comfortable living are just the beginning of the appeal. The true star of this property is a horticultural artistry that has transformed the parcel into a year-round study in color and form. Stunning professional landscaping delivers successive waves of bloom—weeping cherry heralding spring, magnolias and dogwood following in close succession, Japanese maple providing autumn drama, while rhododendrons anchor the composition with evergreen structure. Brick pathways trace routes through this living canvas and a cup of coffee in the sunroom or backyard feels like an escape to the botanical gardens. It's a peaceful place. In fact, the property is adjacent to a large piece (139 acres) of conservancy land. Inside, the home's distinctive multi-level layout creates natural zones for living, with transitions marked by a few steps up or down - lending the floor plan cozy corners and a feeling privacy that's rare for a ranch. Hardwood floors and gleaming original woodwork speak to the care this home has received. The living area (with a pretty fireplace) is connected to the three bedrooms by a few steps, while the kitchen—an efficient galley design that serious cooks recognize as superior for workflow—has steps down to a family room, then down again to workshop and storage space that accommodates both all the stuff you don't need every day and creative pursuits. A sunroom off the kitchen expands the home's flexibility, offering light-filled square footage for dining, working, or simply observing the garden's progression. Many of the home's systems have been updated in recent years, a list is available upon request. Pleasant Valley occupies a particularly attractive position in the Hudson Valley, situated between the cultural draw of Rhinebeck to the north and Poughkeepsie's metropolitan amenities to the south. The town maintains its rural character while providing proximity to the Taconic State Parkway for easy access to the broader region. Residents enjoy the Hudson Valley's renowned farm-to-table dining culture, its network of historic sites and hiking trails, and a calendar of festivals, music, and theatre.
