Character and charm describe this almost 2,000. sq. ft. cape cod nestled in a prime location in Suffern, NY. In addition, this home is in close proximity to highways, buses, trains, restaurants, and shopping. A welcoming mudroom greets you leading into the 1st floor foyer, formal dining room, private office/den, and a cozy living room complete with a brick gas fireplace. The eat-in kitchen boasts a new range and microwave. There are two large pantries in the adjoining hallway which leads to a tiled full bathroom and a beautifully inviting family room. This addition to the original house is sunlit with a vaulted ceiling, two sky lights, recessed lighting, pocket doors, and a pellet stove. The second floor has one full bathroom and three bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a walk-in cedar closet and steps leading to the attic with ample storage. A considerable upgrade is new windows throughout the house and garage (except for the attic). The detached two car garage includes a craftsman's paradise in the upstairs loft. Also there is a two vehicle carport and shed for extra storage. Enjoy the beauty of the outdoors on the wrap around deck together or flat backyard with views and relaxing sounds from the Mahwah river (not in a flood zone).
