Welcome to Tappan, NY! Located only 18 miles from NYC and just over the NJ border, the historic Town of Tappan offers a peaceful, small town setting with a convenient big-city commute. 236 Western Highway is a Mint Condition ranch set on nearly a quarter-acre in one of Tappan's most sought-after neighborhoods in the South Orangetown School District. The 3-Bedroom, 1 Bath home's interiors that are bright and inviting with gleaming hardwood oak floors and abundant light throughout. You will appreciate the well-designed Kitchen with peninsula breakfast bar, stainless steel appliance package and silestone counter-tops. The kitchen opens to the adjacent dining room with cathedral ceiling and the living room. An open, comfortable aesthetic describes this living space with a layout that provides easy flow. Also on the main level are the Primary Bedroom, 2 additional bedrooms and a full bath in a neutral color palette. Downstairs, there is a full unfinished basement with a dark room once used by Nat Fein, a Pulitzer Prize winning photographer who called this home (1953-2000). The trees in front yard offer lots of privacy from the road. There is also a lovely backyard and an attached garage with 'turn-around' driveway. Enjoy life in one of the Hudson Valley's most charming historic towns with quaint village shops, parks, the Rail Trail & restaurants. The town is full of Revolutionary-era history. Not only did George Washington sleep here, but he negotiated the British army's evacuation of NYC at the DeWint House (now a museum) and probably had an ale at the iconic '76 House where you can still enjoy a pint and fine dining by the period-perfect Dutch fireplaces! Convenient to the GW Bridge, the NYC bus, the Palisades Parkway and nearby NJ border.
