"UNDER ONE ROOF" - Tucked along a quiet, tree-lined street in one of Valley Cottage's established residential neighborhoods, 3 Five Oaks Lane is the kind of property that reveals more than expected, currently setup for multi-generational living. Expanded over time & thoughtfully designed for the way people live today; this distinctive residence offers almost 3,000 SF of flexible living space, 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a 2-car garage & an exceptional lower-level suite/apartment, all set on a level & highly usable .57-acre property with an in-ground pool, just 45 minutes from NYC. Generous proportions, abundant natural light & an effortless connection to the outdoors give the home a relaxed sense of scale, while its versatile layout creates opportunities rarely found. At the heart of the main level, an expansive kitchen & great room create a natural gathering place for everyday living & entertaining. Vaulted ceilings lend volume & drama, while walls of windows fill the space with sunlight & views of the surrounding greenery. A fireplace anchors the room, while hardwood floors extend throughout the upper level & into a formal dining room designed for larger gatherings & holidays. Three comfortable bedrooms & well-proportioned living spaces complete the main level, with central AC providing modern comfort throughout. The lower level is what truly distinguishes the property. Offering the scale & functionality of a home within a home, this remarkably versatile space includes its own kitchen, living room, bedroom & full bath, along with a washer/dryer hookup & private walkout directly to the rear patio & pool. Whether envisioned for extended family, long-term guests, an au pair or simply additional living & entertaining space, it offers tremendous flexibility. Additional finished space can accommodate a home office, gym, recreation room or additional sleeping area. Outside, the home transforms into a private warm-weather retreat. The in-ground pool is the centerpiece of an expansive entertaining area, with pool lighting creating an inviting atmosphere after sunset. Generous hardscaping offers plenty of room for dining, lounging & gathering, while the covered patio beneath the deck provides a shaded place to relax just steps from the lower-level suite. Beyond the pool, the level lawn offers valuable usable space for play, recreation & gardening. A large deck overlooking the grounds further connects the home's interior to the outdoors. The location adds another dimension. Just minutes away, Congers Lake Memorial Park centers around a 100-acre lake & scenic 2.6-mile trailway ideal for walking & running, with pickleball, tennis courts, basketball, ballfields, playgrounds, fishing, picnic areas & more. Rockland Lake, Hook Mountain & the Hudson River waterfront offer miles of hiking, biking & outdoor recreation, while the vibrant Rivertown Villages of Nyack & Piermont are minutes away for restaurants, cafes, shops, galleries & waterfront experiences. With NYC just 45 minutes away, 3 Five Oaks Lane offers a sought-after balance of space, recreation, community & proximity to Manhattan. Spacious yet intimate, private yet connected, 3 Five Oaks Lane is far more than a traditional 4-bedroom home. With its expanded floor plan, vaulted great room, flexible lower-level suite/apartment, 2-car garage, in-ground pool & more than half an acre of level, usable property, this is a home designed to accommodate life of all stages... According to Richard O'Donnell, based on current asking price, this property is over assessed by 18.67% and is a candidate for tax grievance, which could reduce taxes to approximately $21,224.
