658 Ridge StreetPeekskill, NY 10566Price: $535,000

For the buyer seeking a real yard, a quiet street, and city access without compromise, this is that house. 658 Ridge Street is a storybook Cape Cod framed by a sweeping, lawn, stone-edged steps, and a mature flowering dogwood whose canopy naturally shelters the covered front porch. The Morning Coffee porch is the first thing you'll fall in love with. The perfect sanctuary to enjoy a great book or host friends and family in a quiet, serene setting. It's the kind of spot that becomes part of your morning routine without you even planning it. Inside, the living room is warm and welcoming with rich original hardwood floors and crown molding that give the space real character. It flows naturally into the dining room, which has wonderful presence - deep terracotta walls, a classic chandelier, and a great space for hosting a dinner party. You can already picture it. From there, an arched doorway leads you into the kitchen, where oak cabinetry, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and a gas range make for a space that's genuinely easy to cook in. The coveted first-floor primary suite is a quiet retreat of its own: bright, airy, and fitted with recessed lighting, two windows overlooking the yard, and a private door that opens directly onto the stone patio - a detail that makes the indoor-outdoor connection feel effortless and intentional. Two additional bedrooms on the second level are filled with natural light, served by a full hall bathroom with a glass-enclosed tub-and-shower combination. And then there's the backyard. The cobblestone patio is expansive - big enough for a dining set, a high-top, and still room to spare - anchored by a beautiful stone outdoor fireplace that makes the whole space feel like an outdoor room. Beyond the patio, there's a terraced, fully fenced lawn. This is the kind of backyard people buy a house for. The full basement offers high ceilings, in-unit washer/dryer, and an abundance of storage - a blank canvas for a gym, workshop, or expanded living space. A few things worth noting: The roof was replaced in 2024 and comes with a transferable warranty. Freshly sealed driveway. Peekskill is a genuine arts district, an acclaimed culinary scene, and the kind of walkable main street energy you will immediately love. Ridge Street is a quiet, residential street within minutes of the Peekskill Metro-North station, placing Grand Central Terminal approximately one hour away.
