1524 State Route 17a, Warwick, NY

About 1524 State Route 17a

This home presents a mix of old and new. Town records say this is a 1900's home, but folklore has it dated earlier than this. The "addition" (half the house) was added in recent years. When doing so, effort was exerted to hold on to the old character in the original front of the home on both level 1 and 2. This also has the portion of full basement, which will house utilitarian mechanicals, including hot water tank and furnace. The roof was replaced in 2025, and carries the full 30+ year warranty - transferable to the new owners. Central A/C installed 2026 serving all bedrooms and upper level. Granite in kitchen is new, as well as all wood floor finishes (solid oak). Rocking chair front porch. The original staircase and banister, as well as some preserved old bubbly and wavey windows (original glass) are in the original front rooms. Painted original floorboards are in the front two upper bedrooms and antique hallway. All other flooring throughout the home are tile (bathrooms and laundry/mudroom) or solid oak. There is no carpeting or faux-wood in the home. The rear of the home comprises half of the home's square footage. The main level has an open concept layout in the newer portion and connects straight to the back yard. The large family room with wood-burning fireplace and the large kitchen are flooded with natural light, and have a very familial layout. This area conveniently connects to the back patio and barbeque area. The third, fully-floored attic level has standard stairs, and what to do with the large space is left to the imagination. The storage portion of the attic houses the newly installed central air conditioning equipment with outlets to all rooms on the bedroom level. The falling cold air actually serves the entire home with comfort. Also in the back yard, a chicken coop or dog/animal enclosure - your choice. The level grass out back invites for kicking a ball or stretching out a volley ball net. A two car garage and added shed complete the offering. This free-standing 'barn' could easily hold two large cars and a woodworking shop. It can also be converted to stables, if your search for a new home includes holding some farm animals. The property is zoned to be home to up to three horses, or up to six smaller animals like goats or llamas (a minimum of 3 acres needed according to Town zoning laws). The animal enclosure in the back yard can get removed if requested. The above ground pool has been well maintained and is sparkling clean - waiting to cool off joyful swimmers during the hot summer months. Magical walkways meander throughout your very private three acres and let you forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Back here you do not notice that you are so conveniently located to any commute. Walking paths are all rather level and also free of rock outcroppings. Left mostly to their natural state, just the rider mower assists in keeping the paths free to walk, run, and find a quiet hideaway. Bring your artist's easel or writing book. Find a spot to relax. The transit bus into NYC is steps away from your front door (by the Bellvale Country Store). On the State road, the municipality clears snow in front of your home first - before side roads are tackled. Being on/near the major road provides access to public utilities such as water, sewer, and natural gas. This homeowner has - by choice - only brought in natural gas into the home to date. This is not your typical home. Rather it is full of the character that Warwick has a reputation to embrace. The property is expansive, yet cozy. The home is a blank canvas waiting for a new owner to make it their own !! Several new systems carry their transferable warranties, such as roof, a/c, hot water heater.
