“THE RIDGE TOP RETREAT” – At the end of a picture-perfect cul-de-sac in the sought-after Ridge Top Estates, located just under an hour from New York City, enveloped by the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley, sits a home that blends modern elegance with warmth and ease. Built in 2012 and lovingly maintained, this stately and striking Colonial still feels like new construction, offering nearly 3,000 square feet of impeccably designed living space that is as functional as it is beautiful. From the moment you arrive, the wide driveway, two-car garage, and charming rocking chair front porch set the tone for a home that welcomes friends, and quiet moments alike, with sweeping mountain vistas. Step inside and be greeted by a dramatic double-height foyer, awash with natural light that streams through tall windows and casts a calming glow across the immaculate hardwood floors. The thoughtful layout unfolds seamlessly, with formal and casual spaces designed for both daily living and entertaining. The living room, anchored by a gas fireplace and tray ceiling, invites cozy evenings by the fire. The chef’s eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home, boasting custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a center island perfect for gathering. A formal dining room offers a stage for holidays and celebrations, while a versatile bonus room – with its own tray ceiling, can transform into a home office, playroom, gym, or even a guest suite. Upstairs, the sense of serenity continues. Three generously sized bedrooms share a full bath, while the primary suite stands as a private retreat with a walk-in closet and spa-like en-suite featuring a soaking tub and double vanity. A large window at the top of the stairs captures sweeping mountain vistas, a reminder that nature’s beauty is just outside your door. The possibilities extend even further with a full walk-out basement, soaring ceilings, and space ready to be finished into a media room, recreation area, or guest quarters – whatever your vision requires. Outdoors, the property becomes a true sanctuary. The fully fenced backyard is ideal for four-legged friends and free-spirited play. A dramatic rock wall and meticulous landscaping frame the space, where a fire-pit lounge offers the perfect gathering spot for stargazing, roasting marshmallows, and sharing stories deep into the night. A side deck beckons for summer cookouts, while a garden at the property’s edge provides a canvas for anyone with a green thumb. From morning coffee on the porch to evening sunsets over the mountains, this home offers a rhythm of living that is both elevated and effortless. Life beyond your doorstep is just as captivating: explore the quaint village of Warwick with its artisan boutiques, farm-to-table restaurants, and live-music-infused cider bars. Spend weekends wandering apple orchards and family farms like Apple Dave’s or Pennings Farm Market-perfect for fresh cider, donuts, and harvest-time fun. Venture into nearby parks and preserved landscapes, where hiking and biking trails weave through breathtaking forests, lakes, and ridge-lines-welcoming both peaceful rambles and adventurous climbs all just an hour from NYC. Turn-key, timeless, and thoughtfully designed, wether you are seeking a weekend retreat or full time residence, 18 Tanyas Court is more than just a home-it’s a place to grow, to gather, and to savor life’s best moments.
