Easy maintanence and one-level living are found in this neat 2-bedroom ranch home in the hamlet of Highland.  The neighborhood offers convenient access to the shops and cafes in the hamlet, as well as an easy commute to Poughkeepsie, Kingston, Newburgh, or other destinations via the NYS Thruway.  The home has seen many recent updates including a new kitchen with beautiful white cabinetry, tile backsplash, farmhouse sink, marble and quartz countertops, stainless appliances and a sliding glass door to the deck.  Off the kitchen is a laundry room with storage.  A bay window lets the light into the living room, and down the hall is a full bathroom, and two bedrooms, both with plenty of closet space.  The primary bedroom has its own bathroom, beautifully tiled, with a zero-entry shower.  The back deck is a sunny spot to lounge, and the backyard has recently installed fencing around the perimeter.  Other updates include: installation of a Generac generator, Rinnai on-demand hot water heater, laminate flooring throughout, high efficiency LG washer and dryer, new furnace, air compressor, and Central A/C.  This home is wonderfully located--just walking distance to the library, local schools, yoga studio, cafes, and shops in the quaint hamlet of Highland.  A great location for recreation, Merritt Avenue is just a 1/2 mile to the Hudson Valley Rail Trail, a walk/bike trail network which reaches east across the Walkway Over Hudson and west to the Town of New Paltz.  Call to book a showing today.
