"HUDSON VALLEY REIMAGINED" - Tucked along a quiet, tree-lined street in the charming village of Sloatsburg, 13 Richard Street is a thoughtfully reimagined home where modern living meets the natural beauty of the lower Hudson Valley. Perfectly suited as a turnkey cottage escape just outside the city, this home offers an ideal retreat for those seeking simplicity, style, and a connection to nature without sacrificing convenience. Just 45 minutes from NYC and minutes to the New Jersey border, this location offers a rare balance, seamless access to the city while being surrounded by some of the region's most celebrated outdoor escapes. From nearby Harriman State Park and Sterling Forest, to an endless network of hiking and biking trails, lakes, and scenic overlooks, this is a setting designed for those who crave both convenience and connection to nature. Adding to the lifestyle appeal, the home is also located near a local community pool, perfect for warm summer days and easy recreation just moments from your doorstep. Close proximity to the Suffern and Tuxedo train stations make commuting a breeze. Set on a level and highly usable .13-acre lot, the home has undergone a comprehensive top-to-bottom rebuild and expansion, resulting in a clean, modern aesthetic paired with the comfort of essentially brand-new construction. Offering just over 1,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed, turnkey living space, the interior is both efficient and highly functional, with a layout that lives larger than its footprint. Two generous bedrooms and multiple baths on the main level provide ease and flexibility for everyday living. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the new hardwood flooring and windows to the fully updated kitchen and bathrooms, all complemented by brand new plumbing, stainless steel appliances, tilework and fixtures. The systems are equally impressive, with updated utilities and HVAC providing peace of mind for years to come. The home continues to offer opportunity beyond its current footprint. An unfinished basement presents the perfect canvas for future expansion - whether envisioned as a media room, gym, home office, or additional living space tailored to your needs. Basement space is currently set up for laundry room and home offie. Outside, a detached two-car garage adds both function and versatility, while the level yard invites entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the quiet surroundings. Beyond the property, the lifestyle is what truly sets this offering apart. The village of Sloatsburg, along with nearby Suffern, offers a growing collection of local restaurants, cafes, and shops, blending small-town charm with a vibrant, evolving food scene. Weekend mornings can be spent exploring farmers markets or grabbing coffee before heading out on the trails, while evenings bring a relaxed pace that feels worlds away from the city - yet never too far. Whether envisioned as a primary residence, weekend retreat, or investment opportunity, this home presents exceptional versatility - also offering strong appeal for investors seeking a turnkey single-family rental property in a high-demand, commuter-friendly location.
