Welcome home to 25 Gardiner Park Road. Tucked at the end of a quiet dead-end street just outside the Village of New Paltz, this much-loved Colonial has been home to its original owners since 2003 and is now ready for its next chapter. Whether you're looking for a full-time home or the upstate retreat you've been dreaming about, this one delivers the rare combination of privacy, space, and proximity to everything that makes the Gardiner/New Paltz area so special. Set on 2.42 private acres, the property feels wonderfully tucked away, yet you're right in the middle of a local scene that's genuinely thriving, with new boutique stays, restaurants, and makers setting up shop all the time. Start the morning with coffee on the covered front porch as the light filters through the trees, then head out and explore: farm stands, breweries, distilleries, world-class rock climbing, and miles of hiking, with always something new down the road worth discovering. Inside, the four-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial has been freshly painted and is ready to enjoy. The heart of the home is an open kitchen, living, and dining area designed for actual living: big dinners, holiday chaos, impromptu gatherings, or a slow weekend morning that somehow feels better here. Just off the main living space, a flexible room with custom built-in desks and bookshelves can be an office, library, study, or whatever your life calls for. And then there's the mudroom/butler's pantry situation, which may just be one of the smartest spaces in the house. With built-in shelving and storage cubbies, there's a place for muddy boots, weekend bags, pantry overflow, and all the things that tend to accumulate at the door. When the temperatures drop, gather around the wood-burning fireplace or settle in beside the pellet stove and let the evening slow down. Come summer, the action moves outside. Throw open the doors to the deck and heated pool, where a covered gazebo with built-in bench seating makes a natural spot for lingering between swims. The partially fenced backyard backs up to woods and features a wisteria-covered pergola and firepit, practically made for long summer evenings under the stars. Two small outbuildings are ready to become whatever you need: a playhouse, a chicken coop, a creative hideaway, or all of the above. No judgment here. Upstairs, four bedrooms include a primary suite that truly earns the name, with a spa tub, double-sized shower, and walk-in closet with room to breathe. Brand-new carpet runs throughout the second floor. The laundry room is anything but an afterthought, with custom cabinetry and generous counter space that might actually make laundry feel a little less like laundry. A flexible adjoining space offers even more possibilities as a guest room, home office, gym, studio, or whatever comes next. And the practical details are already handled. The home is wired for a generator to keep the water pump, refrigerator, pellet stove, and key outlets running during an outage. An underground dog fence is in place, and the garage is equipped with an electric vehicle charger. Morning coffee on the porch. Afternoons in the pool. Evenings by the fire. A house full of friends or just you, a good book, and nowhere else you need to be. At 25 Gardiner Park Road, all the ingredients for a very good life are already here, on 2.42 acres you get to call your own. Come take a look. We have a feeling you'll want to stay awhile.
