5 Hudson Valley Retreats and Sutton Place Residences Under $700K

Down a quiet drive in Pleasant Valley, 21 Straub Drive offers a spacious, versatile layout with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a flexible floor plan suited to everyday living, entertaining, or multi-generational needs. Multiple living and gathering areas create welcome breathing room, while a bright three-season sunroom—finished with French doors—invites slow mornings with coffee or an afternoon read overlooking the beautifully landscaped grounds. Outside, the private backyard unfolds as a retreat of its own: a custom man-made pond with a waterfall feature sets a calming soundtrack, and a charming gazebo provides a natural place for outdoor dining, casual gatherings, or simply taking in the setting. Set on a private lot in a non-flood zone, it balances serenity with commuter-friendly access to the Poughkeepsie Metro-North Train Station and the Taconic State Parkway.

Set in the Town of Stockport, this beautifully maintained farmhouse captures the ease of Hudson Valley living while preserving timeless character.

Accessibility is thoughtfully integrated on the main level, where a first-floor bedroom pairs with a full bath featuring a lowered sink, seated shower, and grab bars, plus ramp access at the rear entrance—an ideal setup for guests, multigenerational living, or single-level comfort. A flexible layout adds potential for an in-law suite or private quarters. Upstairs, a new primary suite completed in 2025 offers a quiet retreat. Large windows frame the serene country setting, and a wraparound patio sets the scene for long outdoor meals and unhurried evenings.
