Perhaps the best buy in the Chappaqua School District! This expanded Cape Cod ringed by mature trees has been well-maintained and updated as a multi-generation family hub for almost 60 years. Now it's ready to start that nurturing cycle again with a new family on nearly 2/3 of an acre with water views and lake access on Tara Lake, but no HOA fees or restrictions. The private beach area is open to a limited number of properties around the lake. The home's renovated kitchen has stone counters, an island, a full suite of appliances, and propane for cooking. There are two bedrooms (originally three) and a full, renovated bathroom on the first floor. Two more bedrooms, a full bath, and yet-to-be-finished space on the second floor wait for updates of your choice. Other improvements include: a young roof (approx. 10 years), approx. 700sf maintenance-free deck (2022), above-ground oil tank (2015), and upgraded electrical (2013); permits for all improvements are closed. Municipal water, an expanded septic system, an oil-fired furnace, and hot-water baseboard and steam heat support this comfortable home. The location on a "primary", county road means reliable plowing when snow falls. Chappaqua schools, local shopping and services, easy access to highways, public parks and recreation; and multiple MetroNorth options are the perfect suburban mix. All inclusive taxes for 2024 = $15,241; current STAR = $1,702 standard/$3,676 enhanced. Grab this rare opportunity to buy a move-in ready home in one of Westchester's top-rated school districts for an as-is price with lots of potential to add value.
