Some renovations stop at the kitchen. This one kept going until every room had been reconsidered. The 1955 ranch has been rebuilt from the foundation up with a light, careful hand, and the result is a three-bedroom, three-bath home that feels new without losing its bones. Everything sits on one level, the rooms flow into each other, and nothing is left for the next owner to fix. Then there's the backyard, which is the reason people will fall for this house. Almost an acre (0.90) runs out behind it, enclosed by post-and-rail fencing and wide enough for a pool, a garden and a game of catch all at once. Past the fence, the land rises into a hillside where horses graze, so your view at dinner is a pasture rather than a neighbor. There's an outdoor shower for summer days, four rebuilt decks, front and back, and a patio for the long evenings after them, and a shed for the tools. The club is a short walk up Route 217. Columbia Golf & Country Club (private membership) has golf, tennis, pickleball, a pool, and a bite or a beer after the round, and you can get there on foot. Hudson's Warren Street, with its restaurants, galleries and shops, is minutes away, and so is the Amtrak station, with direct trains to Penn Station. Hospitals and specialists in Kingston, Poughkeepsie and Albany are all within easy reach. A Generac 10 kW automatic standby generator means a storm is just weather. The full basement and attached garage add storage, and the house is served by a private well and septic and by Taconic Hills schools. It works as a full-time home, a weekend place or somewhere to land for good. Either way, it's done, and it's ready. Third full bath is complete and awaiting the Town of Claverack's final inspection; county record currently shows two. School tax is estimated (NYS published Taconic Hills full-value rate x assessor full market value); actual 2026-27 bill to follow. Third (3rd) bathroom pending final inspection from town (as of writing, 9/26/2026).
