4 Oak St, Philipstown, NY 10516

A storybook white picket fence is the first thing to greet you at this charming 1910 farmhouse on a quiet cul de sac in the heart of the village of Cold Spring. Walkable to shops, restaurants and Metro North but tucked away on a side street, 4 Oak Street is as enticing an offering as they come. This 3BD, 3BA has been updated and well maintained. It is turn-key on a large lot with a driveway, garage/barn, gardens, privacy AND convenience. The kitchen was completely redesigned in 2019 with all new appliances, countertops, cabinets, floors, etc. The dining room, a perfect spot for entertaining, includes unique features such as a chamfered front window, original woodwork, and a built-in corner hutch. Access the office through the French doors or the front entry; it’s an ideal space for working from home. The two-story rear addition, added in 2000, provides the definition of a great room, with high ceilings, built-in bookshelves, and a gas fireplace; a full-length glass door with sidelights allows a view as well as access to the lovely porch, patio, side yard and garden. There is a full bath off the great room, an uncommon feature in homes of this age. Upstairs you’ll find the large primary suite with full bath and ample closets, as well as two additional bedrooms and full bath with both glassed-in shower and large soaking tub, all new. Nearby is the laundry room, with walk-up to the attic—there is no shortage of storage space. The mud-room off the driveway entrance is the perfect place for coats, boots, etc. This house utilizes every inch of its 2400+ sq ft. It’s the outside that truly sets this offering apart, with two porches and a sizeable yard with perennial beds, flowering trees and shrubs, and an herb garden for the aspiring chef. The garage/barn has an automatic door and large storage “hay loft” with aluminum attic ladder. If you have been looking for historical without the headache, this is the one. Private and peaceful yet close to all the Hudson Valley has to offer, this is the perfect place to live and enjoy Cold Spring.
