Some places have a way of slowing everything down, and this charming Lake Peekskill cottage does exactly that. Surrounded by 2.3 acres of lush greenery, it feels wonderfully removed from the rush of everyday life, with an amount of land that gives this setting a character all its own. Whether you are searching for a full-time residence or a weekend getaway, this is the kind of place where you can exhale, unplug and settle into a quieter pace. The front porch may quickly become your favorite spot. Bring a swing, pour your morning coffee and listen to the birds while taking in the natural surroundings. Step inside and that same sense of warmth continues in the cozy living room, where a high ceiling and stone wood-burning fireplace create an inviting first impression. Two bedrooms and a full bath carry through the cottage's restful simplicity. The bright eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances and leads into an absolutely delightful dining room, made even more appealing by two separate exterior doors. One opens toward the front grounds and the other to the rear, creating an easy connection between indoors and out. Entertaining can spill beyond the table, while quiet days might simply mean opening the doors, wandering the acreage or heading outside with your pup whenever the mood strikes. A large walk-out basement with its own entrance provides plenty of storage along with access to the utilities. The generous driveway accommodates multiple vehicles with additional room for recreational toys. Recent improvements include a Generac Generator, well tank approximately one year old, along with a water tank and boiler both less than two years old. Lake Peekskill adds another dimension to the lifestyle here, with opportunities for fishing, canoeing and peaceful walks near the water. Yet for all the privacy and natural beauty surrounding you, everyday conveniences remain remarkably close. Schools, shopping, restaurants, takeout, medical offices, highways and train stations can all be reached in approximately ten minutes or less, with several even closer. A little cottage, a remarkable piece of land and more than two acres to call your own. Come here for the porch, stay for the peacefulness, and discover just how good life can feel when nature is right outside your door.
