28 Hawk HL New Paltz, NY 12561

You've heard that the three most important things in a real estate purchase are Location! Location! Location! Well, this home ups the ante and boasts location and then some. In the heart of New Paltz and just 1.5 miles to the vibrant Village center, you will enjoy life here in New York's beautiful Mid-Hudson Valley. Within easy striking distance to the world renowned Mohonk Preserve for outdoor adventures, eateries, wineries, local farms, shops, art and music, NYS Thruway, and just 90-miles south to NYC. Located in the Harvest Hills subdivision, arguably the most desirable neighborhood in New Paltz, and sitting on one of the few lots with year-round views of the stunning Shawangunk Mountains, facing west for breathtaking sunsets from the front porch, and spirit-lifting morning sunshine pouring into the kitchen even in the dead of winter. Without a doubt, this home checks ALL the boxes for location, and then some! But what about the house itself? Well, it's been impeccably maintained, has tremendous curb appeal, and offers four spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The main level has an enormous kitchen in the back of the house, with adjoining dining room and living room toward the front of the house. A large family room with fireplace sits just off the kitchen as well, which can double as a guest room with its own full bathroom. Flooring is a mix of hardwood oak, ceramic tile, and carpet, all in excellent condition. The floorplan is open and bright with spectacular views out every window. There's a deep and wide covered front porch perfect for entertaining, or just sitting and watching the day go by when you need a bit of downtime. There's also a wonderful breezeway between the main house and two-car garage for outdoor dining in the nicer weather. You'll find four bedrooms on the second floor. The master bedroom has a private bathroom and office/sitting nook with fantastic mountain views. The other three bedrooms are very nice sizes and share the home's third bathroom. This house has a large walk-up attic that offers great storage and tremendous opportunity for additional square footage. And there's a full, unfinished basement with its own exterior entrance and plumbing roughed-in for a fourth bathroom. It's cavernous and dry and extremely useful as is! But if you want to finish all or part of it, and/or some attic space, you could nearly double the home's living space! The home has a large, attached two car garage with yet more available, unfinished space above it. The landscaping is beautiful and includes a gorgeous, curved, multi-tier stone wall in back of the house. There are 27 apple trees on the property, and a small stream flows along the back of the 2.4 acres. Even though the home is so close to everything, there's plenty of privacy and in the summer your few neighbors completely disappear when the trees fill in, leaving just you and the spectacular mountain ridge to the west! Truly a rare find in the New Paltz market.
