Description

Brimming with charm and thoughtfully executed upgrades, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath Beacon home seamlessly blends classic character with modern comfort.

Inside, exposed interior brick and a beautifully crafted wooden-beamed archway create a warm architectural focal point, setting the tone for the home’s inviting living spaces. Natural light pours through multiple new windows, filling the spacious living room and flowing effortlessly into a cozy dining area anchored by a large bay window.

The kitchen, updated just a few years ago, offers ample cabinetry and a functional layout that works equally well for everyday living and entertaining.

The finished basement expands the home’s versatility, featuring a brand-new mini split HVAC system and flexible space ideal for a family room, home office, or creative studio. Recessed lighting throughout enhances the home’s clean, modern feel while highlighting its architectural details.

Outside, the front porch—with its charming swing—offers the perfect place to unwind. The home’s exterior has been thoughtfully improved with new siding, updated gutters (copper in front, black in the rear), and an underground drainage system for long-term durability. Two driveways, including a freshly paved rear drive and a sealed front drive, provide ample parking.

One bedroom has been professionally soundproofed—walls, ceilings, and floors—creating a uniquely quiet retreat and a significant investment in comfort and privacy.

Ideally located in a friendly neighborhood just moments from Beacon’s vibrant Main Street, this move-in-ready home offers a rare combination of character, thoughtful upgrades, and everyday livability.

    "I drive about 35 minutes to work. There is often a lot of traffic on Rt 9d as there is only one lane and it backs up when the train let's out and also when there is construction on the Newburgh Beacon bridge which is apparently quite often. Beacon is growing and they need to expand on the infrastructure of roads to accommodate the mass influx of people or it will be all too city like before we know it. "

    "Beacon has become over crowded .. rents are too high even NYC now has cheaper rents .. you can’t go anywhere any longer that’s quiet . Schools are a mess , and main st is packed with tourists with ill manners on the weekends . New buildings have gone up all over the place for the past 10 years so there is never a quiet day without construction going on somewhere . Crowded parks and the mountain is now an attraction that is over run with city people with their stupid phones and garbage. "
