200 New Hempstead Rd

"STORYBOOK CHARM" - Tucked behind a graceful stone and cedar facade, along a manicured walkway framed by lush park-like grounds, sits a home that feels lifted from the pages of a timeless novel. Welcome to 200 New Hempstead Road - a picturesque 1934 Colonial that has been lovingly reimagined for modern living while preserving the warm soul of its past. Set on an expansive and beautifully landscaped .69-acre lot, this is more than a home - it's a haven just 40 minutes from NYC. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by mature plantings, including a sculptural Japanese split-leaf maple, and a sweeping lawn that invites outdoor entertaining, quiet reflection, or the future possibility of a sparkling pool retreat. Step inside, and the charm unfolds. Arched doorways and custom built-ins set the tone, while gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout. In the heart of the home, the main living room exudes warmth with exposed beam ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, creating a cozy space to unwind with loved ones on crisp Hudson Valley evenings. The chef's kitchen, fully renovated in 2018, seamlessly blends form and function with stainless steel appliances, a center island, fresh tile backsplash, sunlit dining area, and new Marvin windows that frame serene views. From here, glass doors lead to a generous deck overlooking the backyard oasis, perfect for al fresco dinners, morning coffee, or late summer nights under the stars. For quieter moments, retreat to the enclosed stone-floor patio - a peaceful sunroom that opens onto a fully fenced courtyard sanctuary. Ideal for pets, private gatherings, or peaceful solitude, this hidden gem extends the living space into nature’s embrace. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a tranquil primary suite with a full bath, all bathed in natural light and graced with original hardwoods. Two full bathrooms offer classic styling and comfort. The partially finished basement adds even more flexibility - perfect for a home office, gym, storage or guest space. Additional amenities include a 2-car attached garage, a charming outdoor shed, ductless split systems for A/C, and three zones of heating - ensuring comfort in every season. Beyond the front door, life in New City offers the best of both worlds: an easy commute to New York City and proximity to Rockland County’s abundant outdoor offerings - from hiking and biking trails to scenic parks, rivers, and rolling hills. Enjoy weekends exploring Hook Mountain, Rockland Lake, or the Hudson River waterfront, all just minutes away. And when it’s time to indulge, New City delivers with top-rated schools, vibrant shopping, and renowned restaurants that rival the best of the city. This home is a rare blend of historic character, thoughtful renovations, and suburban tranquility, inviting you to slow down, stretch out, and savor a life well-lived - all while staying connected to the energy of the city and the splendor of the Hudson Valley.
