Property Description
A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone, offering the perfect place for morning coffee or a quiet evening. Inside, natural light fills the home, highlighting beautiful wood floors, preserved architectural details, and generous closets. The inviting living room features a French door opening to the side porch, while the dining room offers a pellet stove and French doors leading to the charming sunroom. The sunroom is a true retreat, providing a peaceful place to relax while taking in views of the grounds and pond throughout the seasons.
The character-filled kitchen features a classic tin ceiling, complemented by updated bathrooms and newer mechanical improvements for modern comfort. A newer oil furnace, whole-house water filtration system, metal roof, and automatic Generac generator provide added convenience and peace of mind.
But the magic of 145 Drake Road truly unfolds outside.
Imagine stepping into your backyard and having your own private pond. The meticulously maintained 1.33-acre grounds feature mature plantings, stone-wall borders, and a pond complete with a dock and small boat, all of which convey with the property. This adds to the property's storybook appeal and creates a wonderful spot to enjoy the water, watch the changing seasons, ice skate in the winter, or simply pause and take in the peaceful surroundings.
The porch, spacious deck, and the sunroom create a natural connection between the home and its beautiful grounds, offering plenty of places to entertain, read a book, gather with friends, or simply watch the sunset over the property. From quiet mornings by the water to golden evening skies, this is a setting meant to be enjoyed.
The detached two-story, two-car barn-style garage is an exceptional bonus. With parking on the main level and additional flexible space above, it offers endless possibilities for a game room, studio, home office, hobby space, workshop, or additional storage. The existing woodshop provides dedicated space for projects and creative pursuits.
Recent improvements include siding installed within the last four years, updated kitchen, a newer oil furnace, updated bathrooms, whole-house water filtration system, metal roof, and automatic Generac generator.
Ideally located in Dutchess County, 145 Drake Road offers the tranquility and beauty of country living while remaining convenient to everyday amenities and major transportation routes. The Taconic Parkway is approximately one mile away, Poughkeepsie Metro-North station is about 10 miles away, and the village of Millbrook is just a short drive.
With its classic farmhouse character, private pond and dock, sunroom, welcoming porches, beautifully maintained grounds, substantial two-story garage, and desirable Arlington School District location, 145 Drake Road offers something increasingly rare: a place where the beauty of the outdoors becomes part of everyday life.
