SERENE retreat in beautiful North Salem with Lake Hawthorne privileges! Tucked in back of 2 enchanting acres of grassy lawns, gentle slopes, and woods for privacy, is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath raised ranch that is easy to care for and easy to love. The main level offers hardwood floors and natural light, with garden views from the living room picture window. The dining room opens to the back deck and the eat in kitchen, making entertaining a breeze. Speaking of kitchen, who can resist a built-in breakfast nook, thoughtfully designed cabinets & quartz counters? Down the hall are 3 restful bedrooms and a full bathroom. Downstairs, is a huge family room (shown here with a recreation space with wood burning fireplace plus room for a home office for 4). A full bathroom, laundry room, and entry to the 2 car garage round out the lower level. There's plenty of space in the driveway for the guests you will be inviting over to enjoy frisbee or volleyball in the side yard, or to canoe on the lake. Lake Hawthorne Homeowners Association ($300/yr) gives access to swimming, picnic area, row boat/canoe privileges. Just a stone's throw to I-684, Caramoor Center for Music & Art, and restaurants & shops in nearby Katonah, Bedford, Ridgefield and Mt Kisco. Must see in person to experience the tranquility. You won't want to leave!
