354 Carter Avenue

Old-world charm blends with modern luxury to create this one of a kind, circa-1800 Victorian home. Timeless in its character, yet meticulously maintained and beautifully updated, this home is located within the award-winning Marlboro Central School District and just 6 miles from the cultural arts mecca of Beacon. The circular driveway drops you off at the wrap around front porch which curves around the home and leads you to gorgeous mountain views. You may even catch a view of the river when the trees are bare! This alone is enough to fall in love but wait until you go inside! Step into the foyer, which features original hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, period details and 16-inch molding. The foyer extends into the large living room with solid wood French doors which open into a massive dining area highlighting a high-efficiency wood burning stove. From there, the flow goes into the kitchen with cherry showcase cabinets, inlaid tile, updated appliances, a large farmhouse sink, and sliders leading out to the porch and backyard. There is a powder room on this level and even that boasts crown molding! The original staircase with elaborate, custom woodwork leads you up to the second floor where you’ll find a large primary bedroom with a giant walk-in closet that could double as a nursery (there's another closet and a window inside the closet)! The second bedroom on this floor is ample-sized and overlooks the backyard. The remodeled, marble tile full-bath has an elegant clawfoot tub, perfect for relaxing. Next, head up to the third floor, with its wide plank original flooring and two additional guest bedrooms (one is currently used as a home office). There is also another huge closet (which the owners used as a toy room…yup it's that big)! Notable points of this fine home include a new boiler, newer roof with 30-year shingles, 3-zone heat, propane hookup for the stove and outdoor grill, a fully fenced-in yard (perfect for little ones, two- or four -legged) and so much more. An ideal location for commuters, the home is 2 miles from I-84 and the Newburgh/Beacon Bridge, 5 miles from I-87, and just 6 miles from the Metro-North train station in Beacon. Visit local farm markets, apple orchards, wineries, and enjoy fine dining on the river. Close to West Point and Stewart Airport and shopping is right down the road. Play a round of golf at the Powelton Country Club or hike on any of the nearby trails. Come see the beauty of this home and all it offers.
