402 Hortontown Rd, Hopewell Junction, NY 12533

As of summer of 2015, this home has a beautiful new paint/stain job! Designed with flair by a local architect, this striking and secluded gem has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, a large eat-in kitchen, separate dining room and parlor, a grand stunning sunken living room, a screened-in porch, a utility room, and a spacious, unfinished basement. It is situated in the center of a woody 3.5 acre lot, is less than a mile from the Appalachian Trial, and about 3 miles to Fahnestock State Park. The master bedroom/bathroom suite has vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows, a large dressing room shower and separate sunken tub overlooking the backyard gardens and pool. Sliding glass doors lead out onto a rebuilt deck/balcony that overlooks the pool, gardens and lake, perfect for breakfast or to watch the sunset over the hills with a late afternoon tea. All four bedrooms have beautiful views of the woods or pool or Gem Lake. The large sunken living room has a vaulted 30' ceiling which is acoustically excellent for music-making or a home theater system. Beautiful new paint/stain job summer as of 2015! The woodsy setting is perfect for those who love privacy without sacrificing convenience to transportation. The house is located one mile from the Taconic Parkway, about two miles from I-84, and 55 miles from New York City. An inground, heated 40' Shoreline pool with waterfall spa and 400' of frontage on Gem Lake make this an excellent and convenient weekend getaway from New York City. But it is also close enough for those wanting to commute by car or by train (using the Cold Spring or Brewster Metro-North stations). We are not looking to sell currently, but when we do, you will want to see this beautiful and unique home.
