Character and Charm at Every Turn
Step into this circa 1930s home, unlike any you've ever experienced. Less than an hour from New York City, yet you'll feel as though you've traveled much further away. Tucked among mature trees, lush gardens, and beautiful natural stonework, this enchanting New City cottage offers a welcome escape from the ordinary.
From the moment you enter, you'll discover that this is a home with a story to tell. Rich hardwood floors, warm wood accents, and an intricately patterned ceiling set the stage for interiors filled with unexpected details. A few steps lead to an elevated dining room overlooking the living room, where ornamental wrought iron creates a beautiful connection between the two spaces. Below, a brick fireplace with pellet stove insert, invites you to settle in and stay awhile.
Around every corner, another delightful surprise awaits. A sun-filled sitting room offers a second pellet stove and peaceful garden views, while the kitchen combines everyday functionality with the charm of a country retreat. A generous window above the sink frames the greenery outdoors, bringing a little of nature inside. Even the bedrooms have personalities of their own, with warm hardwood floors, distinctive wood ceilings, and cozy architectural details that speak to the home's history.
And then there's the outdoors. A welcoming deck, winding stone borders, established gardens, and a canopy of mature trees create a setting that changes beautifully with the seasons. Imagine morning coffee surrounded by birdsong, summer gatherings under the trees, autumn afternoons ablaze with color, and winter evenings spent beside the fire.
Conveniently located in New City, with access to shopping, dining, parks, and the many attractions of the Hudson Valley, this home offers the opportunity to enjoy a slower pace without sacrificing proximity to New York City.
Some homes are measured in square feet. Others are measured in the memories they inspire. Welcome to 21 Hansen Avenue, where character and charm await at every turn.
