About This Home

Have you ever imagined living at the end of a cul-de-sac, where neighbors gather and a true sense of community naturally unfolds? Welcome to 36 Down River Road, a special offering that combines privacy, convenience, and everyday beauty. Set against the backdrop of a peaceful river, the property offers a serene escape. From the deck, the gentle sound of the water creates a calming, spa-like atmosphere, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Inside, the spacious living room features a fireplace and opens directly to the deck, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor living. The inviting family room boasts impressive ceiling height, a space so warm and welcoming you may never want to leave. The home offers flexibility with two options for a primary bedroom, one on the first floor and another on the second. The upstairs bedrooms feature built-ins and shelving, share a bathroom, and include a second bedroom with a generously sized walk-in closet. Ideally located, you can enjoy a true walk-to-town lifestyle with easy access to schools, restaurants, specialty shops, parks, the new library, the farmers market, and the Metro-North train station.
