Tucked away on almost two private, wooded acres, this classic 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial in the Arlington School District feels like your own Hudson Valley retreat, complete with a rare 1,200 sq ft newly built stand-alone studio. A lovely tree-lined driveway leads to a landscaped front lawn and a covered porch with a brick facade and leaded-glass entry, the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening tea. Inside, the first floor offers numerous places to gather and unwind. The great room centers on a dramatic floor-to-ceiling painted brick fireplace with a stone mantel and hearth, made for cozy nights, while French doors open to an expansive 20x27 foot floating deck surrounded by woods. Hardwood floors flow through the formal living and dining rooms, where a wide picture window frames the woods. The sun-filled eat-in kitchen pairs butcher block counters with subway tile, painted cabinetry with glass-front uppers, a peninsula, and stainless appliances, with sliders to the deck. A sitting room, laundry room, and powder room complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite has a walk-in closet and an updated bath. Three more bedrooms, one generously sized, share a full bath with a double marble vanity and marble hex tile, and LVT flooring runs throughout. Enjoy a full basement, attached 2-car garage, and shed, which add plenty of storage - plus a UV water purification system. The 1,200 foot studio was built two years ago beside the main home; it has 18-foot ceilings, natural light, heat, a dedicated electrical panel, a 12x14-foot roll-up door, and its own gravel approach. Currently an artist’s studio, it could support so many wonderful uses! Life here comes with the best of the Hudson Valley at your doorstep. LaGrange offers a peaceful setting minutes from the shops and conveniences of Route 55 and Eastdale Village, while downtown Poughkeepsie adds culture and character: catch a show at the historic Bardavon Opera House, explore Vassar College’s art museum and lectures, or try the cafes and restaurants of the Arlington neighborhood. The Culinary Institute of America, local farm stands, orchards, and wineries are a short drive away, and the Dutchess Rail Trail and Walkway Over the Hudson invite you outdoors. Commuting is easy with the Taconic State Parkway nearby and Metro-North service to Grand Central from Poughkeepsie. Don’t miss this expansive, well-maintained home. Schedule your tour today!
