Description
For those who want to be surrounded by nature without sacrificing the convenience of city living, 9 Washington Avenue offers a rare balance. Set on the historic site of the O'Keefe Brothers Bottling Factory, this charming three-bedroom home rests at the foot of Mount Beacon in one of the city's most desirable and convenient neighborhoods. Across the street from a local butcher and blocks to coffee shops and restaurants, the property also overlooks a tranquil spring-fed pond on the neighboring lot. Here, hawks, blue herons, mallards, and many other animals can be seen in a rotating display of wildlife all year long. Although the view from your bedroom window feels worlds away, you are only a five-minute walk to Main Street's acclaimed East End restaurants, cafes, breweries, galleries, and shopping. Additionally, the Mount Beacon trailhead is just a ten-minute walk, while the free shuttle to Metro-North is steps from your door. Inside, the home's historic character has been thoughtfully preserved. Restored wide-plank cedar floors from the turn-of-the-century run throughout, lending warmth and authenticity to the rooms. The updated kitchen strikes a perfect balance between old and new, featuring a midcentury farmhouse sink, vintage hardware, a new stainless steel refrigerator, as well as a dishwasher, and garbage disposal. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom is a true retreat, comfortably accommodating a California King-sized bed with ample closet space and a stunning view of the pond beyond. The second bedroom offers two more closets as well as an adjoining bonus storage space. On the main level, you will find a bright third bedroom along with a versatile second room that works beautifully as a home office, fitness space, or art studio. Nearby, the dining area and adjoining living room provide a cozy retreat after a day of exploring town. Rounding out the main floor, a convenient utility room houses the laundry, extra storage, a new water heater, and easy access to mechanical systems. Outside, the fully fenced yard offers exceptional space at a comfortable distance from neighboring homes, creating an ideal setting for entertaining, grilling, or relaxing on the picturesque rocking-chair porch. Raised garden beds are ready for your favorite vegetables and flowers, while one of the area's largest fruiting holly trees draws songbirds year-round. Rich in character and charm, 9 Washington Avenue is the "jewel box" you've been looking for. This home offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Beacon's history while enjoying a lifestyle that seamlessly marries the best of city living with the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley.
