Overview
OVER THE RIVER & THROUGH THE WOODS - Set on nearly an acre of picturesque property in the highly sought-after South Orangetown School District with attractive taxes under $18K, 27 Valenza Lane offers the rare combination of space, serenity, & style, all just 30 minutes from NYC. Enveloped by the protected woodlands of Clausland Mountain & Blauvelt State Park, the property & community feels private & restorative, yet remains close to everything the Hudson Valley & nearby river town villages have to offer. The home itself, a striking colonial completely reimagined in 2021 by architect/owner, stands with timeless curb appeal: vibrant navy siding, crisp white trim, & a proud brick chimney rising above manicured landscaping. Almost 4, 000 SF of living space unfolds like chapters in a story of light & comfort, with a total of 5 bedrooms; 4 upstairs & 1 convenient bedroom suite on the main level. The foyer greets you with a dramatic spiral staircase, ceilings that soar, & a sense of openness that carries throughout. Natural sunlight floods the interior, creating a calm & soothing atmosphere. In the living room, a brick-accented fireplace glows softly, inviting both conversation & solitude. In the family room, another hearth anchors gatherings, its warmth echoing against vaulted ceilings. In the primary suite, w/ dramatic vaulted ceilings, a spa like bath, a third fireplace stands ready to lend its quiet light to the most private hours, turning winter evenings into something almost sacred. The kitchen is a symphony of craftsmanship & design, a complete renovation that left nothing to chance. Custom solid-wood cabinetry gleams in white, quartz counters extend seamlessly into a full backsplash, and an oversized island commands the room like a stage set for family & friends. A professional 6-burner range waits to be tested by ambitious meals & farmhouse sink glistens under natural light. All fixtures chosen for both performance & elegance. Throughout the home, every surface speaks of intention: herringbone porcelain tile guiding your entry, wide-plank floors lending warmth to the upper level, all upstairs bedrooms have ample walk-in closets outfitted w/ oak shelving, bathrooms reimagined as spa retreats with radiant-heated floors, frameless glass showers, & deep soaking tub in primary. Light itself becomes a design element through arched windows, mid-century pendants in foyer & dining room & Lutron smart switches that let you set the mood. A large basement allows for expansion. Step outside & the story continues: a Trex deck for morning coffee or starlit evenings, paver walkways, professional landscaping that frames the home in color. Beyond aesthetic beauty, this home has been fortified with care & precision, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. In 2021 new high-efficiency HVAC units installed & an upgraded drainage system designed to protect the grounds in all seasons. The exterior was meticulously refreshed - fascia boards, gutters, downspouts, window trim, & corner posts all replaced, while the chimney was repointed & capped with premium detail. Above it all, a new GAF architectural roof stands as both crown & safeguard. These structural upgrades, coupled with the home’s immaculate presentation, make 27 Valenza Lane truly a turn-key residence. When you step beyond your own gates, the Hudson Valley waits. To the east the river town villages of Nyack & Piermont hum with life: boutiques, galleries, cafes, restaurants, the Edward Hopper House with its reverence for art, & the Piermont Pier stretching miles into the Hudson like a painter’s brushstroke. To the west, the trails of Clausland Mountain Park & Blauvelt State Park lead you under cathedral trees, across stone ruins, & into landscapes where history and wilderness intermingle. More than a house and a community, 27 Valenza Lane is a retreat for those who value nature as much as luxury, where every detail has been reimagined, & every finish refined...
