14 Luty Drive, Hyde Park, NY 12538

Sometimes the best houses are the ones that just make life easy. This move-in-ready contemporary ranch in Hyde Park offers two bedrooms, two and a half baths, an open layout, and a private backyard, all just minutes from the Culinary Institute of America and everything happening along the Poughkeepsie waterfront.Inside, the home feels bright, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious. Hardwood floors run through the living room, where glass sliders open directly to a screened porch overlooking the backyard and hot tub, creating an easy connection between indoors and out. The eat-in kitchen offers plenty of room for cooking and gathering, with Corian countertops, tiled backsplash, and Andersen windows bringing in natural light throughout the home.The spacious primary suite gives you the convenience of true one-level living, while a second bedroom and two and a half baths, including a beautifully renovated bath, make the layout equally suited to full-time living or a weekend escape. A separate family room with a gas fireplace adds another cozy place to settle in for movie nights, reading, or simply hanging out.Outside, the screened porch may quickly become your favorite room in the house. Morning coffee, summer dinners, or a soak in the hot tub after a long day all happen against a private, wooded backdrop.And the location is a big part of the story. The Culinary Institute of America is practically around the corner, putting some of the Hudson Valley's most interesting dining right in your backyard. Head south into Poughkeepsie for the Walkway Over the Hudson, the Hudson River waterfront, restaurants, breweries, arts and an increasingly energized downtown. Favorites like Mill House Brewing Company, Farmers & Chefs and Brasserie 292 are all nearby, along with the shops, restaurants and everyday conveniences of Route 9. Also STR friendly!For NYC buyers, Poughkeepsie Metro-North is an especially nice bonus. Catch the Hudson Line directly to Grand Central, or Amtrak for points north and south, and just 75 miles north of the George Washington Bridge.
