Welcome to this beautifully expanded raised ranch in the heart of Hopewell Junction! Set on just over a half-acre of level property in a beautiful neighborhood, this spacious corner-lot home offers the perfect blend of comfortable living, entertaining space, and outdoor enjoyment. Expanded in 2003, the home was thoughtfully designed to create an inviting open-concept layout featuring a spacious living room, dining area, and generous kitchen, all enhanced by vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The main level offers three bedrooms, two full baths, and hardwood floors throughout. Step outside from the main living area to a spacious screened-in deck overlooking the beautifully level backyard, complete with an inground pool and plenty of room to relax and entertain. The lower level adds even more versatile living space, featuring a welcoming family room with a wood-burning fireplace, a wet bar area with direct access to the patio and pool, an additional half bath, and a workshop/storage area, as well as use of the second bay of garage for more living space. Whether hosting summer gatherings or enjoying cozy evenings at home, this layout offers something for every occasion. A large hot tub adds another special touch to this wonderful outdoor retreat. Numerous updates provide added peace of mind, including a new pool liner and pump approximately five years ago, central air conditioning approximately five years ago, and a furnace approximately three years ago. Enjoy the convenience of being just five minutes from the center of Hopewell Junction and close to the Taconic State Parkway, I-84, and Route 9, making commuting, shopping, and everyday errands a breeze. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy spacious living, a fantastic entertaining layout, and a backyard designed for making memories, all in a desirable Hopewell Junction neighborhood!
