You could be living the dream on Poughkeepsie's south side!  Enjoy one level living in this expanded ranch with a Mid Century Modern vibe. The striking design harmoniously blends with nature, creating a private outdoor retreat. Situated on 1.5 acres with an in-ground pool, this home offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full and 2 half baths. This home perfectly balances space and privacy for you and your nearest and dearest.  The open layout offers flexible space for entertaining, while smaller, thoughtfully placed nooks provide options for quiet retreat.
