A Place to Call Home – Beautiful Cape in Hyde Park Now Available for Lease
Formerly the owners’ vacation retreat, this home has been lovingly maintained and is now being offered as a long-term residence. Set on a beautifully manicured, nearly half-acre lot with a rolling, park-like landscape, the home sits elevated above the road, offering a sense of openness and quiet retreat. This charming Cape-style home features 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, a four-season room, and an upstairs two-room suite that can serve as a third bedroom, home office, or flexible bonus space. With 1,140 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged living space, the home offers warmth, charm, and versatility. Inside, you’ll find classic hardwood floors, a well-equipped kitchen, a stylish bathroom with timeless finishes, and a living room centered around a cozy fireplace. The basement offers storage space and includes a washer and dryer, while an attached garage adds everyday convenience. The private backyard features seasonal garden beds, a patio for entertaining, and an outdoor fireplace, with a tranquil babbling brook running alongside a mature Magnolia tree—a perfect spot for quiet reflection, morning yoga, or an afternoon nap. The blacktop driveway offers off-street parking, and the home’s location provides both serenity and accessibility—just minutes from the Culinary Institute of America, Vassar Medical Center, IBM, local colleges, Metro North, Amtrak, and the Taconic Parkway, making it especially appealing to established professionals, faculty, and medical staff.
