117 Moonlight Dr, East Fishkill, NY 12582

Description

There are homes that are simply beautiful, and then there are homes that tell a story. Nestled on a picturesque acre along the aptly named Moonlight Drive, this exceptional Colonial is one of those rare offerings. Lovingly cared for by its original owners since it was built in 1997, every space reflects pride of ownership, thoughtful design, and a commitment to quality. The mahogany front porch invites quiet mornings with coffee and evenings spent in a rocking chair with your favorite beverage and sets the stage for the warmth that continues throughout the home. Inside, the center hall is framed by a sitting room and dining room before unfolding into an expansive gathering space designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Anchored by a classic wood-burning fireplace, the family room flows effortlessly into a spectacular custom kitchen—the true heart of the home. Completely reimagined during an extensive 2021 renovation, the kitchen is both timeless and sophisticated. A striking 10-foot island with prep sink invites conversation while serving as the centerpiece of the space. Custom shaker cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, premium stainless steel appliances, and an impressive 48-inch professional range with dual fuel ovens create a kitchen equally suited for holiday celebrations and special dinners. A separate wet bar area elevates the entertaining experience, complete with an icemaker & beverage refrigerator. Walls of glass lead seamlessly to the deck, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The thoughtfully designed first floor continues with an amazing mudroom and laundry suite that is as beautiful as it is functional. Custom built-ins, generous cabinetry, a utility sink, abundant storage, a spacious 4' x 5' walk-in pantry, and half bath ensure that even life's practical moments are beautifully organized. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath and expansive custom closet—both completed during the 2021 renovation. The finished lower level extends the home's versatility with a bright daylight egress window, generous recreation space, extensive built-in storage, a dedicated storage room, and an enchanting children's clubhouse with a peekaboo window tucked beneath the staircase(picture AI inspired) -a reminder that the best homes are designed for making memories. Outside, the experience becomes extraordinary. The beautifully landscaped acre has matured into a private park-like setting, where perennial gardens bloom throughout the seasons and a stately border of evergreens create remarkable privacy. At its center, a stunning 20' x 40' saltwater pool is surrounded by an expansive patio that feels more like a private resort than a backyard, offering abundant space for sun-soaked afternoons, outdoor dinners, and unforgettable summer celebrations. As evening falls, gather around the fire pit beneath the stars, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, or simply appreciate the serenity that comes from having room to breathe. A spacious 16' x 20' shed provides exceptional storage, while a hidden storage area beneath the home's addition keeps pool equipment neatly out of sight. Even the oversized driveway has been thoughtfully planned, comfortably accommodating four vehicles across. Behind the scenes, significant investments were completed in 2021—including a new roof, new central air system, expanded kitchen and mudroom additions, renovated primary bath, and custom primary closet, and in 2026- septic tank and Dbox as well as whole house UV light system, all improvements that offer the peace of mind that today's discerning buyers value as much as beautiful finishes. Perfectly positioned just minutes from major commuting routes and approximately 15 minutes from the train to New York City, this remarkable residence offers the rare balance of privacy, convenience, and enduring quality. Some houses are built to impress. Others are built to be lived in, celebrated, and loved. This home has been all three.
