51 Lake Rd Congers, NY 10920

Classic brick charm meets thoughtful modern updates in this beautifully renovated Colonial, just around the corner from Congers Lake. If you've been searching for a home with real history and character, you'll feel it the moment you walk through the door. Original details blend with modern comforts, so you get the charm of a classic home without sacrificing a thing. Completely renovated in 2018 and meticulously maintained every year since, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is ready for you to simply unpack and start living.

Picture yourself stepping into the entrance foyer, where a stunning original staircase framed by classic columns sets the tone for the rest of the home. Refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint carry you into the living room, where you'll find yourself curled up beside the brick fireplace on chilly evenings. French doors with transom windows, a nod to the home's era, open to the dining room, where a statement chandelier makes every dinner feel special. You'll fall in love with the kitchen, featuring white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a glass subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a farm sink, a pantry, and a pot filler above the gas range. Gather around the peninsula while you cook, or step through French doors into the sun-drenched den with vaulted ceilings, the perfect home office, reading nook, or flex space. A convenient powder room completes the main level.

Upstairs, three bedrooms offer peaceful retreats, and you'll want to end every day in the renovated full bath, soaking in the freestanding tub surrounded by elegant tile. Head up one more flight to discover a finished third-floor bonus room with heat and A/C, ready for whatever you dream up: a studio, gym, hobby room, or guest space.

The finished walk-out lower level gives you even more room to spread out, with a spacious rec area, office nook, a fourth bedroom, a new full bath, and a laundry room. Movie nights, overnight guests, or working from home all have a place here.

Step outside and you'll feel instantly at ease in your fully fenced backyard. Imagine summer evenings on the paver patio with guests gathered along the stone retaining wall, a lush lawn with plenty of room to play, garden, or relax, and newly planted privacy trees making it feel like your own private escape. A detached 1-car garage and separate garden shed provide plenty of storage.

You'll also love knowing the big-ticket items are already done. The house has new siding and owned solar panels (2023), plus a Crown boiler with 5-zone heat, 2-zone central A/C, an updated electrical panel, spray foam insulation, a French drain, a 75-gallon hot water heater (2025), and a new insulated front door (2026).

The location is hard to beat. Congers Lake and its resident-only path are just around the corner, ideal for enjoying the water from sunrise to sunset. Rockland Lake State Park is minutes away with lakeside trails, Hook Mountain hiking, golf, and swimming. Local shops and dining are right down the street. The home is also served by Clarkstown schools, including the highly sought-after Clarkstown North High School. Commuters will appreciate quick access to Route 9W, the Palisades Parkway, the NYS Thruway, and the Mario Cuomo Bridge, plus express bus service to Manhattan and nearby Metro-North and ferry connections.

With every major system updated and nothing left to do but unpack, this one won't last. Schedule your private showing today!
