Perched on a hill on 0.46 acres, this 1950 Mid-Century Modern brick ranch has the kind of confident, well-built character that newer homes rarely match. Hardwood floors run throughout 1,296 square feet of main level living, where the dining area steps down into a spacious living room centered on a wood-burning fireplace. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, with a bright, open layout. A screened porch off the kitchen looks out over the level front yard, softened by rustic split rail fencing, while the generous backyard leaves plenty of room for gardening, entertaining, or simply spreading out. A paved driveway leads to the attached one car garage. Then there is the bonus space. A 500 square foot carpeted walk-up attic is a rare find in a ranch, ready for a den, office, studio, or whatever you imagine. Below, the ground level basement opens to the garage and already has plumbing, a sink, and laundry hookups, with room to finish for storage or recreation. What remains is the fun part: bringing your own style to a classic. Location makes it easy. The Metro-North and Amtrak station is 6 minutes away, Northwell Vassar Brothers Medical Center is 3 minutes, and Vassar College is 7 minutes. Shops, restaurants, parks, and the historic Poughkeepsie Tennis Club are close by, along with the Walkway Over the Hudson and the revitalized waterfront.
