Set on more than one half acre of beautifully landscaped property in Valley Cottage, this approximately 3,100 square foot home offers four bedrooms, three full baths and an inviting combination of generous living space, thoughtful updates and exceptional outdoor enjoyment. A distinctive full length masonry porch spans the brick front, creating a welcoming introduction. Inside, hardwood floors extend through the main living spaces, while the updated kitchen opens directly to an expansive deck overlooking the pool, gardens and broad rear lawn. The spacious lower level features a large family room with a handsome brick fireplace and wood burning insert, a bedroom, full bath and an additional recreation or flex room for work, hobbies or everyday enjoyment. A sliding glass door opens to a covered patio and the remarkably level, private backyard. Here, the inground saltwater pool and generous surrounding patio are independently fenced within the fully fenced rear yard, leaving abundant separate green space for play, gardening and recreation. Mature landscaping and lovely western sunsets complete this inviting outdoor setting. Improvements reflect the care given to the home, including central air conditioning updated in 2026, a new pool liner and salt generator in 2026, new siding, replacement windows along the sides and rear, a Pella kitchen door and refrigerator in 2025, a boiler in 2023, and the roof and hot water heater in 2021. Nearby town and state parkland offers opportunities for walking, hiking, cycling and fishing.
