6 Byrds Hill RoadPawling, NY 12564Price: $995,000

Renovated Colonial near Quaker Hill, less than two hours from NYC and minutes from Metro-North. Board-and-batten exterior with black-trimmed windows set the tone: clean lines and deliberate detail. Inside, the kitchen anchors the main level - marble island with seating, patterned tile backsplash behind the range, double wall ovens, and a layout that opens naturally to dining and living spaces. Brick fireplace with a reclaimed wood mantel. The den, with exposed timber ceiling beams, black-framed windows on three sides, and hardwood floors, overlooks the backyard and pool. The primary suite is on the main floor, making an easy option for single-floor living, and includes luxurious private bath with a marble-topped double vanity, walk-in tile shower with steel-framed glass, freestanding soaking tub, and brass fixtures throughout. Three bedrooms upstairs, all with vaulted ceilings, share a full bath. Outside, there's the heated gunite pool and spa with lounge surround, pool shed, basketball court, fire pit, and dining patio with stone retaining walls. The yard is open and level with room for a game of any kind, or just the quiet that brought you here in the first place.
