434 Plank Road,

Rare Esopus Waterfront Home! Mountain Views, Close to Ski Destinations, Close to Town with Excellent Privacy! GREAT DEAL!!! This is a solidly built and beautifully maintained home with hundreds of feet of Esopus Creek frontage on 4.7 beautiful acres! A Cape-style home, 434 Plank Rd. has a single-car garage, sizable workshop/artist studio, laundry room, and cedar-lined storage room on its ground level, plus two floors of comfortable living space upstairs. The main living areas boast hardwood floors and an open plan design with views and natural light on all sides. The updated kitchen has stainless steel appliances, solid wood cabinetry, and all new lighting and hardware. It opens across a breakfast bar to a dining room, off of a living room area with a cozy wood stove, and a light-filled sunroom. On the same floor, there's a full bedroom with a large closet, and two full bathrooms. A large deck off the kitchen overlooks the home's property and beyond, with exterior steps leading down to a large grassy yard with a cozy fire pit for all-season gatherings, as well as walking paths to the home's private Esopus Creek frontage! Whether you're looking to get away from it all or to host a large gathering of friends and family, this house has it all! The upper level offers two additional bedrooms, including one extra-large bedroom with windows on three sides. Rough plumbing is in place for a third bath, if desired. A spacious family room with vaulted ceilings and a reading nook big enough for a desk with a view completes the upper floor. Ultra-efficient hydronic baseboard heat with separate zones runs throughout the home, plus a wood-burning stove in the living room and a gas stove in the garage/workshop area. The house is elevated above a drive-in garage and storage areas. Much like a shore-house, the elevation ensures peace of mind. A seated elevator lifts from the ground floor to both upper levels, enhancing accessibility, and may remain or be uninstalled for the new homeowners. Several sheds are included with the home, all in very good condition, providing ample storage for firewood, tools, and ATVs. Located off Plank Road via a long semi-private driveway, the property is in the Onteora school district, 5 minutes from downtown Phoenicia's shops and restaurants, 15 and 30 minutes respectively from the Belleyre and Hunter ski areas, 15 minutes to the cultural offerings of Woodstock, and 2 hours to NYC – the perfect balance of proximity and privacy.
