What if you could enjoy the privacy of a tucked-away retreat without giving up the convenience of being minutes from everything? Welcome to this lovingly maintained Cortlandt Manor ranch, where comfortable everyday living meets exceptional flexibility-and where the possibilities extend well beyond what you see today. Set on a desirable corner lot, this inviting property offers a lush lawn, a nearly fully fenced yard, multiple outdoor spaces, and a spacious shed with the potential to become a workshop, hobby studio, or creative retreat. Step inside and discover a bright, welcoming main level designed for both everyday life and entertaining. The living room flows into the eat-in kitchen and formal dining room, where vaulted ceilings add an airy, open feel. Sliding glass doors lead to the back deck, while an additional door opens to the front deck, creating wonderful opportunities for indoor-outdoor living, morning coffee, summer gatherings, and effortless entertaining. The main level includes 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, along with a staircase leading to a full walk-up attic-a valuable bonus space with exciting potential for future expansion, storage, or whatever your needs may become. Then comes the feature that truly sets this home apart. The lower level is accessible both from inside the home and directly from the back porch beside the driveway, providing a remarkable level of privacy and independence. With a spacious family room, 1 bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms, this level is perfectly suited for extended family, guests, recreation, a home office, or anyone who would benefit from having their own space. Laundry and additional storage complete the lower level, which also offers convenient street-level access. In other words, this isn't simply a house with a lower level-it is a home designed with options. Long-time owners have thoughtfully maintained the property, with important updates already completed, including a newer roof and combination boiler (2019), newer washer, dryer, and microwave (2024), and perimeter waterproofing (2021). Much of the work is already done, allowing you to focus on making the home your own. And the location? It is hard to beat. Enjoy the peaceful, private feel of the property while remaining approximately 7 minutes from Trader Joe's and the Taconic State Parkway, 8 minutes from major shopping in Yorktown and Cortlandt, and just 14 minutes from the Metro-North train station. New York City is less than an hour away, making this an ideal combination of suburban tranquility and commuter convenience. Privacy when you want it. Space when you need it. Convenience every day. And possibilities for the future. Showings begin Thursday, 8/13. Appointments are available now-schedule yours today.
