156-158 Bayard St

This charming updated craftsman style bungalow will no doubt be cherished by its next caregivers, for sure. It's really warm and inviting thanks to the refinished fir floors, high ceilings, and nicely proportioned rooms. The woodwork and floors provide the look of character, substance and a solid longevity. Its lovely modern kitchen is bright and inviting residents to partake of wonderful meals, perhaps prepared with produce grown in the terrific side yard gardens. There are two bedrooms on the main floor and two on the second level. The larger one on the second floor functions currently as an artist's studio. There is also a full bathroom on each level. For occupants needing home office(s) this set-up is ideal. The double hamlet lot (with two parcel IDs) is so open and inviting. It will be wonderful for an avid gardener or a relaxing homeowner alike. These grounds, and the front porch, are definitely highlights of this appealing home. While I was sitting on the spacious front porch, I noticed the number of neighbors walking the quiet streets of this older part of Port Ewen. It was so nice to see this lifestyle. The home is located just blocks off vital Route 9W and Port Ewen's Main Street, yet it is a tranquil mecca, off the beaten path. It is minutes away from access points on the Hudson River, if water activity is your thing. The shops and providers in Pt. Ewen are moments away, and, the plethora of dining opportunities in the Rondout district of nearby lower Kingston, are also a wonderful plus. Access is very easy to Metro North in Poughkeepsie, AmTrak in Rhinecliff, and the big box stores on Ulster Avenue, Kingston. Imagine watching the sunrise over the Hudson to your east, from the front porch'if you're an early riser.
