175 Schrade Road

Description

"Spacious" is a fitting word to describe almost every aspect of this expanded Contemporary Raised Ranch from its open kitchen to the roomy family room to the sizable wood deck to the generous backyard and even to the vast acreage of recreational amenities within the general locale of this lakeside community. Nestle comfortably in the 2,800 square feet of living space that this house enjoys, including 9 rooms, 4 bedrooms, and 3 baths. Relax on the deck; garden, play sports and entertain on the 1.04-acre level lot. A lake is a short walk away. Lake privileges require membership in the local lake association. Because the road is a cul-de-sac it is not well traveled except by fellow residents, giving neighbors a measure of quietude. At the far end of the cul-de-sac is Big Buck Mountain, a year-round recreational facility comprising 146 acres where camping, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, mountain biking and horseback riding are allowed. Nearby is the 263-acre White Pond Multiple Use area offering hiking, non-motorized boating, fishing, and other recreational activities. This house is accessible to numerous state parks and nature preserves, and is only 1.2 miles from Route 52, which is lined with eateries, shops, and other daily conveniences. The Town of Carmel enjoys five rail station stops along the Harlem line to New York City, only 2.5 hours away by train; just over an hour by car. Home amenities include hot water on demand; two fireplaces; a full, finished walk-out basement; pull-down attic stairs; and an attached, two-car garage. The exterior fa ade is an attractive combination of brick and wood shingles, which blend into the trees and shrubbery.
