Welcome to 5 Columbia Circle, a turn-key raised ranch tucked inside the gated Highland Lake Estates community in Highland Mills. From the moment you arrive, this home delivers what most listings only promise: modern updates, real peace of mind, and a backyard that earns its keep. Four bedrooms plus an office/den give you room to live and work without compromise. Two full bathrooms, California Closets in every upstairs bedroom, Pella doors, and Andersen 400 Series windows reflect a home maintained with discipline, not shortcuts. The mechanicals back it up: hot water heater (2021), whole-house water softener and filtration system (2023), and an upgraded back deck (2019) built for those gorgeous Hudson Valley sunsets. Comfort and security are handled. A heated garage with its own thermostat means projects don’t stop in January. A central-station monitoring system covers fire, burglary, low-temperature, and carbon monoxide, plus camera coverage for complete confidence. The fenced backyard and lawn sprinkler system round out a property that’s genuinely move-in ready. Location is the quiet advantage here. The Metro-North Harriman station sits under 10 minutes away, with NYC roughly 50 miles and about an hour out via I-87 and Route 17. Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, grocery, and everyday essentials are a short drive down Route 32. Weekends open up fast: Harriman State Park and Bear Mountain for hiking, nearby golf, and local wineries and farms that make Orange County living what it is. This is the rare home where the big ticket items are already done and done right. All that’s left is to move in, relax and watch the sun go down right off your back deck.
