Designed in 1961 by architect Paul Canin as a custom residence for its original owner, this mid-century modern retreat is tucked at the end of one of the most exceptional roads in Poughkeepsie.
Architecturally inspired by the clean lines and indoor-outdoor sensibility of a California ranch, the home retains an impressive collection of original mid-century details: cedar siding, rich redwood paneling, wide oak floors with dowel detailing, extensive built-in storage, redwood baseboards, a dramatic sunken living room, and two fireplaces that anchor the home's gathering spaces.
Set on over two private acres bordering Wappinger Creek, the property enjoys a rare sense of permanence and privacy, further enhanced by the 300+ acres of neighboring farmland beyond the creek at Titusville Farms. The setting feels remarkably secluded, yet daily convenience remains close at hand.
Thoughtful upgrades have modernized the infrastructure while preserving its character. Recent improvements include a new roof, septic system, electrical panel, whole house generator, backyard fence, and central air conditioning, among other upgrades. The layout offers both warmth and practicality, with a two-car garage, abundant storage throughout, garden shed, and flexible lower level living space with its own propane fireplace.
What makes this offering especially compelling is the balance between privacy and accessibility. Despite its peaceful setting, you're just minutes from Vassar College, Metro-North, IBM, Marist, the Culinary Institute of America, and some of the Hudson Valley's most established educational and employment centers. Manhattan is 90 minutes away via the Taconic Parkway. The home conveys fully furnished if desired.
