Ready to create your own dream home? Check out this hidden gem in the peaceful Red Oak Ridge neighborhood of Carmel, NY. This expanded ranch on a beautifully landscaped .79 acre lot is the perfect canvas for a modern makeover. The legally finished basement offers extra space for a home office, gym, or whatever you envision. Step outside onto the oversized deck that has access from both the kitchen and primary bedroom, overlooking a huge backyard, ideal for weekend hangouts. Plus, there’s a screened-in porch just waiting for those candlelit dinner parties you’ve been wanting to host. Feel like you’re escaping to nature with only the sound of crickets at night, but still be just 5 minutes away from coffee shops, restaurants, and local markets. It needs some cosmetic TLC, but with a little work, you can turn this place into the home you’ve always dreamed of.
