96 Laurel Hill Road, Croton on Hudson, NY 10520

Set on a quiet, winding road in the historic Crugers hamlet of Cortlandt, 96 Laurel Hill Road offers something increasingly hard to find: a home with genuine character, a private setting, an in-ground pool and nearly two acres across two separate tax parcels. Steeped in local history, the property is believed by its longtime owners to have once been part of the historic Belmont Estate, serving as a carriage house and driver's quarters. Reminders of its early origins remain in the home's substantial original timbers, hardwood and pine floors, fireplace and distinctive architectural details.Thoughtfully expanded over time, this charming four-bedroom home combines the warmth of its original spaces with the openness and versatility of modern living. A covered front porch welcomes you into inviting rooms with built-ins and a wonderful sense of character. At the heart of the house, the spacious kitchen opens naturally to an expansive, light-filled family room surrounded by windows, creating an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining and a beautiful connection to the outdoors.Upstairs, four bedrooms and two full baths include a distinctive primary suite with vaulted ceilings, an ensuite bath and thoughtfully incorporated built-in features. The additional bedrooms offer flexibility for a home office, hobbies or other uses, while cozy, character-filled rooms coexist comfortably with the more open living areas.Outside, mature trees and established landscaping create a wonderfully private setting for the in-ground pool, patio and gazebo, with plenty of room to relax, entertain and enjoy the property through the seasons. A detached two-car garage offers excellent additional utility, including second-level storage. Adding to this unusual offering is a separate approximately 0.91-acre tax parcel extending toward Albany Post Road, bringing the combined property to nearly two acres.All of this feels pleasantly tucked away, yet conveniently located just minutes from the Cortlandt Metro-North station (only a 50 minute commute to Grand Central), Route 9, Hudson River communities, parks, shopping and area amenities. Rich in history, individuality and charm, 96 Laurel Hill Road offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the character of an earlier era with the space and flexibility for today's lifestyle.
