On North Elting Corners Road in Highland, this 3 bedroom, 1 full bath raised ranch has already had its big-ticket work done, so the next owner gets to start on the fun part.

These are the improvements buyers hope to find and rarely do. The roof is five years old, and the windows were replaced in 2019. The boiler and hot water heater were replaced a year ago, and all new baseboard heat runs throughout. The full bath has been newly renovated. Updates like these don't always show up in photos, but they matter most at inspection, and here they're already finished.

On the upper level, three bedrooms and the updated bath are comfortable and ready from the first day. Below, the walk-out basement is where the home's story is still being written. With direct access outside and a wood stove already installed, it's a blank canvas waiting for a buyer's vision. It could become a den, a home office, a studio, or more living space added over time.

The 6.83-acre property also has a two-car garage for everyday needs and a barn for a workshop, storage, equipment, or a long-planned hobby.

The location keeps daily life easy. The home is minutes from the hamlet of Highland and the village of New Paltz. The Walkway Over the Hudson and local orchards and wineries are close by, and the Poughkeepsie train station is within easy reach for trips to New York City.

611 North Elting Corners Road offers a rare head start: the major work complete, and plenty of room left to grow.
