Sitting high on a gentle knoll in the heart of beautiful Montebello, NY, this impeccably maintained and thoughtfully updated colonial offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern comfort. Set on just under an acre, the home enjoys a serene neighborhood setting that embodies the suburban lifestyle you’ve been searching for. Inside, gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout both the first and second levels. A formal living room to the right showcases a large picture window. Spacious enough to serve multiple purposes, it currently accommodates a baby grand piano and seating area but could easily transition into a stunning formal dining room. In true center-hall style, the formal dining room sits opposite the staircase, accented with dental crown molding and a tranquil front-yard view—ideal for elegant gatherings. The renovated kitchen is positioned at the back of the home, opening seamlessly to the family room for the open-concept living today’s buyers love. Warm cherry cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a 36-inch commercial range create both beauty and function, while the center island offers additional prep space. The inviting family room, complete with a fireplace and built-ins, opens through sliding glass doors to a composite deck overlooking the backyard. A powder room and laundry complete this level. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite offers an ensuite bath with free standing shower and dedicated walk-in closet. The second bedroom comfortably fits queen-size furniture and also offers a double closet, while two more bedrooms—each with double door closets—share a hall bath. The lower level adds approximately 500 square feet of finished living space, with the remaining area serving as a crawl space for storage. The expansive backyard is private and green, featuring an above-ground pool for summer enjoyment. Montebello is known for its scenic beauty, rich history, and close-knit community feel—an ideal place to experience the best of Rockland County suburban living.
