Description

Come fall in love with this stunning 3-bedroom plus office Contemporary Colonial, beautifully set on just under an acre in one of Monroe’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Originally a ranch, the home was thoughtfully expanded approximately 20 years ago and transformed into a spacious, light-filled home with dramatic architectural details and a wonderful open layout. The heart of the home is the impressive two-story great room with soaring vaulted ceilings, a dramatic wall of windows, a fireplace and plenty of recessed lighting. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a glass mosaic tile backsplash, and opens beautifully to the main living spaces. Two bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, offering flexibility for family, guests or one-level living. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a true retreat. Double doors lead into the spacious bedroom, complete with gorgeous mountain views and a large walk-in closet. The oversized primary bath features a Jacuzzi tub, double sinks, a makeup area and a beautiful bay of windows. Just outside the primary suite is a separate office, perfect for working from home; the owners have also used this space as a fourth bedroom. The finished lower level adds tremendous additional living space with dimmable recessed lighting, built-in bookshelves and plenty of room to make the space your own. Use it as a family room, home bar, playroom, study, library or a combination of spaces. There is also an additional home gym. There truly is plenty of room for everyone. Additional features include central air on all three levels, two-zone central air with the upstairs system replaced, gorgeous hardwood flooring, a new hot water heater installed in August 2024, Pella windows, newer carpeting on the main level, upgraded electric, a one-car attached garage, and a second refrigerator and freezer that will remain. All COs are in place. Outside, the property is just as special. The park-like grounds surround a gorgeous in-ground pool, creating a spectacular private backyard retreat perfect for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the warmer months. This is the kind of backyard everyone will want to gather in—an entertainer’s dream and your own private summer oasis. Located just moments from Berry Road Park, formerly Faber Farm, with access to hiking trails leading to Mombasha Lake, and offering deeded lake rights to Balder Lake, a private freshwater lake ideal for swimming, kayaking, non-motor boating and peaceful winter days of skating, this is more than a house—it is a property and lifestyle that are hard to duplicate. All of this is just minutes from shopping, dining, entertainment, schools, major roadways and the Harriman train station, while still feeling tucked away in a beautiful country setting. Located within the highly sought-after Monroe-Woodbury School District, with Pine Tree and Sapphire Elementary Schools nearby, this truly is one of those special Monroe properties that offers space, character, recreation, convenience and an incredible setting all in one.
