Property Description

Nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this completely restored Baker-built Cape is a rare gem that blends timeless character with modern luxury. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by glistening hardwood floors and classic six-panel doors, all framed by original dental crown molding that whispers of the home's rich heritage. The heart of the home—the kitchen—is a chef’s dream, outfitted with rich cherry cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, a travertine backsplash, and top-tier stainless-steel appliances that make entertaining effortless. The bathrooms are equally impressive, featuring granite surfaces, porcelain tile, and high-end fixtures. Frameless shower doors add a sleek, spa-like feel. Every detail has been thoughtfully upgraded—even the electrical service has been enhanced to 220 volts, ensuring both comfort and convenience. But the improvements don’t stop there. The sunroom has been transformed into a year-round retreat, with new windows, doors, flooring, and its own heating—perfect for morning coffee or cozy winter reading. Downstairs, the finished basement offers flexible space for a media room, gym, or playroom, while the finished attic is ideal for a home office, guest suite, or creative studio. Recessed lighting brightens every room, and even the closets have been thoughtfully illuminated for added functionality. Newly installed 6-inch gutters help protect the home, while a natural gas boiler and water tank—both installed in 2017—ensure reliable comfort through every season. With a five-minute commute to the Taconic State Parkway, this home offers the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility. It’s not just a house—it’s a must-see sanctuary waiting to welcome you home.
